Reviews for the Best Car Rentals in Iceland

My car rental experience with My Car was very good. It was very easy to rent and employees were very helpful even though I had to make changes to my reservation several times.
I got a 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid and it’s a great car to have In Iceland, very fuel efficient.

The Northbound representative originally misunderstood my order and cancelled my car. When they booked it again, it was double the price. When I informed them, they ordered the car again and also gave me the original price. That is great customer service. We picked up the car, but it was not available so they upgraded our car. The experience at GO Car went well too! The person who checked us in was nice. I returned the car and everything was great!

Great experience working with MyCar. No issues with the car and was picked up and dropped off to the airport right away.

All was good for our trip for a part of 4 on the Ring Road. Easy pick up in Reykjavik after two days in the capital and return a week later at KEV airport, saving cost of taxi to airport.

It was great exactly what we needed.

Excellent experience. Blue Car Rental had the best prices, and there were no surprises. The shuttle pickup at KEF airport was prompt, the staff was friendly and helpful, the wi-fi device worked perfectly for navigating, and things couldn't have gone more smoothly.

Hello Northbound team
Taking it short:
- customer support: 5 (excellent), although we didn't have to overuse it
- car: 5 (excellent), no problems, no surprises, trustworthy Suzuki Jimny
- pick up, drop off: 5 (excellent), on time

Thank you and regards

The car was in fantastic condition and performed even better than expected! Everyone at the company was friendly, professional, and very helpful. I would recommend this car and company to anyone! The Suzuki Vitara was especially fantastic on the f-roads and gravel driveways outside of the city.

We had good experience with renting our car with Northern Lights. No other car rental agency could beat their deal plus a good customer service make them my favorites in Iceland. From their shuttle pick-up to drop everything was smooth. No issues faced and car was in a good condition. I highly recommend trying Northern Lights car rental while in Iceland. You wont be disappointed.

Excelent

Absolutely stellar customer service from Northbound throughout, despite several changes to our booking due to Covid etc. Thordis could not have done more to make sure we were set up for a great trip. The Dacia Duster from Lava did just fine too :)
Thanks again Northbound.

Vehicle worked great for highways and mild 4wd roads

Our rental car treated us well.

Quite an old car, but did the job. Had no problem getting us to Landmannalaugar and Askja, crossing several rivers on the way.

This car was perfect for our trip and our service was great! The car was comfortable and easy to drive and just the right size. When we returned the car we were cutting it close to catching our flight, but Óðinn from Star Car Rental already knew that and did not hesitate to get us to the airport. Thanks again for a contributing to a great trip.

Car tires was in bad condition. During the trip I had to visit the service and change all the tires. Before that, one tire had to be replaced. The money was returned, but I lost on the exchange rate. The staff was polite.

The pick up and drop off was pretty easy, the car was in great condition, customer service was very friendly and helpful

The van was great. Easy to drive, very sturdy. A few things would have made it better. Another row of hooks on the opposite side. A seat that reclines a little or a lumbar pillow. A boot brush. And a line to let wet things dry in the van are just ideas. My only real complaint was that our blankets were absolutely horrible. Thank goodness we brought our own.

This little car is a BEAST!! It allowed us to travel to the golden circle and the golden ring! The camping tent on top of the car was an experience, but we felt very safe when we used it to camp. The staff was very helpful and kind.

It was a great car to rent while driving around the island. I also really appreciated the gas mileage and the fact it was diesel.

The car was in excellent shape, clean and fun to drive. The hybrid technology helped with fuel economy and the sport mode was great for passing. I only wished it came with a spare tire, especially with such remote locations.

IT was absolutely pleasure to deal with this company as matter of fact they upgraded our car to suv for no extra charge

The car given was beat all to hell - but it ran perfectly, and we had zero issues. You get what you pay for in this instance - a car that works just fine, but is not very nice cosmetically. All in all - we were very happy with our experience.

We had reserved a Toyota RAV4 but ended up with a Hyundai Tuscon which was fine. Rental experience was smooth and eash and price was reasonable. Mobile wifi was super helpful since we were traveling internationally without reliable cell service.

No problem with vehicle except the low tire pressure light was on even though the tires were OK. They told us to ignore the light. Be sure to read the insurance options so you know what you are paying. The rate is much better than most rental cars. I got about 11 km per liter of bensín 95. It handles well on gravel roads but not a lot of power on uphill highways.

Everything was great! We loved the 2021 Toyota RAV4 GX Hybrid Automatic from MyCar Rental. It took us all over Iceland and it was the best vehicle for our rugged travels! Thank you for your excellent service and for the high quality vehicle which made our trip so awesome!

Easy place to rent from and the vehicle worked out nicely for us.

We ended up with a relatively new Kia Sportage instead, which was great, but the experience with Blue was flawless. Little to no wait and their friendly reps explain driving in Iceland thoroughly, even mentioning the lone toll in the north. The windshield was cracked on the passenger edge, but it had already been documented. Excellent car and support for a reasonable price.

I am lucky to find this site for my car at Lava for my Iceland trip. I got the requested car and the customer car at Lava is also as good as Northbound! 8-)

vehicle was great! Only possible problem was insurance. I originally requested "Gold Insurance" but wanted changed to "Platinum". I ended up with original insurance. Not a problem because we didn't have any issues, but if had issues, what would have happened?

Easy and pleasant. Rental company picked me up from the airport and provided some simple but very important information on driving in Iceland. Will rent from them next time I am traveling.

Great & efficient service at Blue Car, the car it self was as I expected for its type & age.
Return transport service to terminal could be improved especially during poor weather!

It was awesome! The young man was helpful, friendly, courteous. Great car no problems would gladly rent from them again. Thank
You

Excellent service, car was exact model that we paid for. Much cheaper than your usual U.S. car rental companies, and you’re supporting a local Icelandic company. Gravel protection included and is a must for driving in Iceland.

Best price and excellent service through Lava Car Rental.

We had the best experience with Blue Car Rental! Getting our car took at most 5 minutes, so quick and efficient. The car was so nice and clean. It drove great! No problems at all. Just a wonderful experience.

This was a great experience! Star Car Rental was very helpful and professional. Will defiantly use again next time I am in Iceland.

Lava rentals were very good and the handover was seamless and quick.

The car itself was adequate and did the job for the few days we were there. There was significant damage to the drivers door when we pick up the car and other dents so a little disappointed but overall would probably rent again from Lava.

Everything was super smooth and easy!

The car was good. It lacked power on the hills, but got good gas milage. When we returned the car we saw your information sheet on the tunnel tolls. It would have saved us a ticket if it was pointed out to us when we rented the car.

Great experience - very good customer support at the rental location, everything went smoothly. Good value for the rental vehicle - easy drop off and hardly any waiting either at arrival or drop off. Glad we found your company!!

Car was nice. Never had to use the 4 wheel drive but it was a security blanket. Your staff was very friendly and kind.

Great experience. We were picked up directly from the terminal and taken to their location. Checkout was quick and efficient. We didn't get the exact car specified, but did get a larger car from the same category. The WiFi worked great the entire trip with just a few remote locations where there was no service

Lava was wonderful great service, picked us up st the airport, fast checkout great price
