Car Rentals in Iceland

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The 4x4 was reliable. Unfortunately for the money, approx $100/day, the car was very old.

We have received a standard category service from Lagoon. The car was in good condition and the procedure was fast. We haven't had any problems, so I don't know if the attention would have been good. I must make an observation: I do not understand the reason why the cost of renting a standard roof box is 430 euros, when you can buy it in a store for less than 100 euros. It seems abusive.

Una gran experiencia, el coche era nuevo y cumplió nuestras expectativas. El servicio muy correcto

I had mixed experience with this rental. On the good side, the car was good enough and and the mechanics were in good shape that allowed a smooth 2200km around Iceland. The inner space of the van (sleeping area) was enough for 2 people, but only after reducing the passenger seat to a minimum, and folding them towards the front. This was a cleaver system to enhance in about 30 cm the sleeping area, a must if you are 1,8m height. The Abestos heating system (for the night) was also very usefull and worked properly. Camping gear was in good shape. However, I also found some negative aspects with the rental. The first was related to the regular heating system of the car; the switch that controls the flow of the warm air was broken and was fixed to the front window. Due the the low temperatures and heavy wind, we had our feet constantly very cold and without any means to warm them up. A simply fix would solve this, but they gave us a car with this problem. The second was related to the insurance exceptions; there are so many exceptions that basically the CDW or superCDW only covers a direct frontal impact, since they have so many exclusions that it's hard to find a situation where indeed the insurance will cover any damage done in other circumstance. If you rent from this company, please be aware of the damages that blowing wind can do on the car doors; none is covered by insurance and small dents can cost you a lot of money.

We booked Toyota Land Cruiser Prado from Lava Car Rental via northbound. Price on northbound was a little lower than on Lava web site. We did not have any problem when piking vehicle up. Northbound has super user friendly user interface, and you can quickly check your booking, print voucher any time.

Everything was easy and great!

Everything was in good condition. After 2 Days the Jimny an I became friends :)

The car was clean and ran well. No problems.

I am satisfied of the service and all the staff is very kind. I will rent from northbound for sure in the future.

Excellent service. I would suggest them. Closed To the airport.

Everything was great. Thank you so much for a great experience.

Great experience, easy to pick the car. Everything was according to the options I selected. Easy to drive and very comfortable van to sleep. Would definitely recommend!

Very good service. The car had many scratches but technical OK.

Very kind, friendly and helpful service, shuttle from/to the airport, car as described, as I wanted (diesel 4x4) and in the proper condition (I've done 2000 km in 4 days without problems). Great flexibility - I've changed a date, hours and payment method few times. If I visit Iceland Lava will be my pick.

Excellente location, voiture très agréable à conduire. Parfaite pour le camping et y dormir. Prise en charge rapide et efficace à l'arrivée et au retour de l'aéroport. Et personnel souriant et sympathique. Aucune mauvaise surprise, je recommande !

It wasn't good , i didn't reacived the car that i rent .... In the first day i got a manuel car and after that ant automtic 4x4 old car

Wonderful experience!

All good! Smooth pick up and drop off. Reliable car. Easy to use rooftop. Great Northbound comparator and Camping Cars provider.

very comfortable and easy to set up an pack away again ... considering to get one for my own 4WD in Australia

This car is probably close to its retirement age as a rental car. It still works, and had no failures during my rental, but is definitely showing signs of age. However, the main problem I had with the car was that I intended to use it on F-roads, for which it is not at all suitable. I realize I should have done more research myself, to figure out that a Suzuki S-cross is not really an SUV, but rather a regular small car with 4WD. The road I attempted was nothing extreme, and would by no means require a super-jeep. A regular, medium-sized SUV with slightly bigger wheels and higher ground clearance than normal cars would work fine, even without 4WD. The S-cross has low ground clearance and very small wheels with fairly low tire profile, and did not work at all.

The 2018 Dacia Duster that I was supposed to get had over 130 000 km on the meter! Assuming it had been in service since the end of 2017 - say for 700 days - this means 186 km EVERYDAY all year round... Car however robust, with a rather good suspension, but noisy. Staff at drop-off completely understaffed (no one at arrival at the Keflavik office, the guy was returning from his shuttle service to the terminal, with no one else in the office!)

We are very happy about the travel. The car works perfectly and the stuff inside were complete for cook and slip. It's very comfortable sleep inside the car compared to the tent when the wind is strong or when it rain. Super recommended for camping and save a lot of money compared to hotel!
