Good experience. Thé suzuki grand Vitara (2011) was old but rent like that so not a surprise. Not new but on the island roads it s à good thing because you are not stressed by the gravel from the other car. V6 motor (sp95/98), powerfull but too much gourmand.

I was a bit worried about using Blue Car rental for our two week Iceland adventure, but it turned out to be a good decision. I'd originally booked with one of the big hire companies, but was tempted to switch to Blue when I saw their price was over £300 cheaper for the same car. Separately, I took out excess cover with an insurance company, just to be safe (around £40 for annual cover - why haven't I done this before?!!). When I picked up the car we were upgraded from a Dacia Duster to a Nissan Quashqai. There was no hard sell on extra cover when I told them I had my own, and the process was very quick. Our bags barely fit in the car (3 young kids means a lot of stuff) but a guy came out and helped - he suggested taking out the two base boards in the boot, which meant we could just about fit everything in, and we were away. After two weeks we returned the car. I was told to leave the keys on a desk and I would receive a condition report on the car. I was slightly worried as we had left it in a bit of a muddy, crisp-crumbed state inside and out but the report came back an hour or so later via email saying everything was fine. So overall an excellent company that I can highly recommend. I don't usually write long reviews like this but I wanted to reassure those - like myself - who agonise over car hire decisions (endless scrolling through tripadvisor!) that this company is legit and, in my experience, offer an excellent service.

Our experience with Icerental 4x4 was excellent ! We had a small leak in the tent and the company provided us with a new one within 90 minutes...although we were on the other side of the country.

It was my first experience with a Camper car and I really enjoyed my travel with this Dacia. Everything worked and you have really space to put your luggage. The only unconfortable thing was a fey water the roofcar and sometimes it was a little bit wet.

The car was good for the trip. No problem to ride around the Island on 4*4 roads. Clean. Team was nice and easygoing

Overall a very good experience and great price. Getting the vehicle with the voucher was no issue and we could start our trip right away. The only issue we had was a flat tire which was not the actual problem. Unfortunately our car did not come with a car jack so we luckily could borrow one from other tourists. The support from Lotus Car Rental however was very helpful and they even gave us a small refund for the missing jack. The car itself was sufficient for all roads including F-roads (we did not cross any rivers). The insurance package (Platinum) was a good choice considering the flat tire as well as it came with free Wifi.

I rented a Duster 2016. It had various smaller damages, but nothing serious. I received the car very fast without a lot of documents to fill out additionally, and the return was also easy. Also I liked, that the did not try to sell me more insucrance.

Bonjour, on a fait le tour de l Islande avec cette voiture , elle fonctionne très bien , mais on est un peu déçu , car cette voiture n est pas vraiment un 4X4 , on ne peut pas traverser la rivière avec cette voiture , on n a pas pu accéder à la montagne à partir de la ville vik . Voilà c est mon avis et Merci

En global la nostra experiència ha estat bona. Vem tenir problema amb tres dels cotxes però finalment es va resoldre i no han tingut cap problema en arreglar-ho. Han estat molt amables sempre i son molt recomanables.

Everything fine but the spare wheel: We got one flat tire in a mountain road, and we change the wheel. But the spare wheel was really thin and weak and we couldn't continue our trip. We had to go back, find the mechanic and get a suitable wheel. We lose our day. The spare wheel should have been the appropiate one.

Best prices I found online. Good transfer to/from airport. The car was not on perfect conditions (one light broken) neither the camping material (seats broken and useless table). They could also improve customer service.

Icerental 4x4 has provided a car that was almost new. The whole rental process was fast and hassles free. On the return the staff checked only if the car was severely dameged whiteout trying to force any additional payment.

Very good Service! Due to flight changes I had to change the rental car dates a few times. It was always a very fast reaction from Northbound. The car was exactly as described and run very good all the time in Iceland. We drove about 4500km through the country without any problems including F-Roads. I highly advise Northbound to book a car.

We had two great weeks with the car. Northbound was very friendly and very helpful. We were allowed to return the car in Reykjavik and only had to pay a small extra charge. The car was very new and in very good condition. We would always book with Northbound again.

Excellent service from this company ( Lotus rental) Very friendly, competitive rates and good service. I always use Northbound when renting cars in Iceland because they are very knowledgeable about insurances and the best cars. This Toyota Aygo was a great rental for 3 weeks in the West Fjords.

General Experience was very good just a few little remarks although, When mentioning car has a GPS better check if it exist and works, ( once we discovered there is not one I received one so all I say check well ) This car is wide and the car original mirrors are nearly not enough ( extended mirrors Or at least an option to rent them is an advantage ) The bed must improve the mattress at least a double thickness it will avoid problems of the back and crazy people that actually my sue the company for damage) Speaking of the sleeping area better mesure carefully I’m 177 cm I could touch the ends of the sleeping area ( it is good to be precise, on the other hand for one or two it’s not bad at all) A little more explanations in details about the living compartment could be improved ( how to dismantle the table in the middle ) A few more items like cattle for boiling tea and coffee maker ( I left mine ) would be a nice touch. Curtains !!!! The car living area opens up and it has transparent areas ( windows ) as it is conceived it has no blinders / curtains it is cheap and very easy to fabricate curtains for this particular cabine ( broom sticks and dark cloth and some fishing weight will do the trick ) Other than that the car was powerful driving perfect comfortable and pleasant and not to much gas a perfect beast I enjoyed very much driving it.

We had no issues with pick up and drop off. All went smootly. Personel were helpful and professional. Also there were no problems with the rented car. I would definetally recommend Northbound for car rental in Iceland. Although I would wish car selection would be wider especially big 4x4's for Highlands which will be our next trip. Thanks.

The car is just fantastic. We went on Iceland F-roads without any problems. 4WD mode is working nicely when needed. About the tent, well, camping during a whole month and still dry inside. Wind is your ennemy tought, just place the car accordingly and no worries. We extended our rent in a blink of and eye. Efficient staff and fast.

It did the job, but it wasn't 100% reliable – once the engine took a few minutes to start on the 1st day, and it was a tad scary, but there were no issues afterwards.
