Car Rentals in Iceland

Camping cars were really friendly and picked us up and drove us back from/to the airport. We were really satisfied with the car, the tent and the sleeping bags.

it was perfect for us, good price, near the airport, and an excellent car, the Dacia duster. we can recommend it to everyone.

Great car, good condition

very easy process-picked up at airport and dropped back off, nice reliable vehicle. No issues would highly recommend

Hi! The experience was really great. The process of renting and returning the car was really quick and simple. My flight was delayed by 3.5 hours and there were still no issues in picking-up the car, even though it was at ~2AM. As well I liked the transportation from and back to airport. There is only one slightly negative thing: At the second day the TPMS warrning light appeared in the dashboard. So I constantly had to monitor the tire pressure the rest of my trip. When I returned the car, I was told that this is a known issue for this car, but it would be great to know these kind of things before the trip. Then I wouldn't be nervous because I would be aware of that problem :)

Didn’t start off great as we were a party of 5 and another unrelated party of 6 arrived at the same time. 5 + 6 does not fit a 9 seater bus! Only drivers to offsite depot (around 10 minutes drive from airport, so added about an hour and a delayed start to holiday. Felt sorry for Fara driver as he was also the only front desk so had to complete 2 reservations. Very tight ship! Car performed great over the 3 days but had to streamline a rogue rubber gasket between headlight and front bumper. Whilst this was a 2017 car, it still had 116000km on the clock so be aware you are not getting a new vehicle but it was well maintained and ran sweet. Overall, good value for money and would rent again but be prepared for initial delay. Great employee brought us back to airport and has some great stories of rogue renters so be good to the car!!

Pick up from KEF airport was on time, short drive to office. Dacia Duster was perfect for our mid-November Ring Road (#1) two week trip. Having 4 wheel drive and studded tires made even icy roads feel safe. A few roads such as 25 kms to Dettifoss waterfall were snow covered, deep in parts but no problem with the Duster. A sensor warning light on the dash came on, but a quick call to the office gave us peace of mind and we continued for the next 10 days with no problems. We both highly recommend the people, service, and Dacia Duster!

The Dacia Duster was the right option for us. 2 by 4, with 4 by 4 whenever needed. Comfortable seats, great heating which is very important when you are going on long drives during Autumn/Winter. Staff at Lava Car Rental was super nice. Especial Artur who picked us up from the airport when we arrived and told us a lot about Iceland. What a nice welcome.

Good experience with Lava Car Rental, would use again. Modern car in good state of repair which served us well during our Iceland Road Trip.

It went really well! The car was in decent condition and we were fine driving with the Icelandic conditions. Didn't expect the deposit but at least we got it all back as we were careful with the vehicle.

Great guys and great car. Really helpful advice about the island.

Overall Lava was great. Someone got into an accident with the Dacia we rented, so we were upgraded to a Tucson at no charge. The car was great. However, it had a ripped wiper blade which made visibility on the snowy roads pretty bad. When I returned the car I made sure to point it out to the rental agent, who didn’t apologize, but was quick to point out a 3mm crack in the wind shield that I was then charged 20,000 isk for.

Excellent service and hassle free handover of vehicle, we picked up a Jeep Compass and drove through the entire ring road in November. Our car was in excellent condition.

Car was in good shape and clean. My issue was when we picked up the car it was dark and the person who helped us did not show concern for documenting the dents & scratches. When we returned the car they went over every little ding inch by inch trying to decide what we caused. Luckily the man checking us out was familiar with the car and knew what was there previous to us renting it. If they are going to be this picky upon return they should show the same level of attention at pick up as well. We were not charged for any ding/dents but it was touch & go for a bit.

Excellent service, very satisfied with my trip and how flowless everything went. Thanks!

Everything OK. Relatively quick pick up. Decent price in comparison to other car rental companies. Nice 4WD car, no dents nor excessive wear. We were upgraded to a newer model for free, which we really appreciated. Everything went fine.

This is my second time using Northbound, everything works fine and customer service answered my question very fast. I love my journey in Iceland and next time I will still choose Northbound! Only I hope it is possible the car rental company could also help to offer transportation service from the hotel closed to airport to rental company while returning the car.

The rental was great. The airport shuttle to the rental facility is ridiculous. We had to wait for the 3rd shuttle because the line was so long, and it was just over 30 minutes (we checked the time). Then when we returned the car, we realized the rental facility is about a 3 minute walk from the airport... we should have just walked over, but we didn’t know it was so close. I would strongly encourage you to let future renters know that the rental facility is so close to the airport- then they can decide if the shuttle is worth the LONG wait, or if they just want to do the short walk. Please consider this- I think it would be very helpful.

Great company and great car.

Best experience, they came on time and dropped off on time, no issues. They even came back and dropped off my glasses that I left in my car!!!

The rental team were great and informative.

My experience with Camping Cars was amazing. It allowed for my wife and I to stay warm during the days as well as have so much extra comfort at night with all the extras we were able to hire. We saw the ring road of Iceland and many other extra sights in a week due to the amazing vehicle we were able to hire.

Everything was just perfect!
