Car Rentals in Iceland

Everything went well with Lava Auto. there was one minor problem with the car however. One of the previous renters had damaged the front left corner of the car. This left a small dent, crack, and caused the left turn signal to not work. The left headlight was also very dim for this reason.

Northbound made it easy to review different car options – Thrifty's ended up being the cheapest, once I added the insurance I wanted (would recommend, as many main highways in Iceland had some gravel). The experience with Thrifty was smooth, and I had no issues.

Thrifty car rental was alright. Nothing fabulous or too bad. They didn't force us to add extra insurance but they didn't offer advice either. They have free coffee and free discount card for OB and olis. Make sure you grab them before leaving Thrifty.

We had a wonderful rental experience with Icerental 4X4 - they upgraded our car and we loved the Hyundai! Instructions were clear and we felt very supported should we need help out on the road.

We had a very nice experience using Ice Rental car. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. I would utilize them again in the future.

Everything works very good. The only thing, I would prefer, is the possibility to get money back for the service we didn't use (and I notice via mail during the booking), that we have brought the car back ourselves to the station in Kevlavik. But everthing else, changes a.s.o works easy.

Using Northbound.is was definetively helpful as I could compare easily different rental companies. Also they were kind and supportive when I had to change the booking twice. Would repeat again. I booked a small car from Thrifty, everything was fine and the experience overall was good. The 4/5 rating is because the car I was given was not particularly good or comfortable, and it was lacking the boot tray.

Mostly good. We were originally given a vehicle that required us to go to a service centre because it was very low on oil. The car also showed a number of alerts indicating service was required. After dealing with those issues the new vehicle was excellent. The Lagoon people were excellent.

Our first trip to Iceland was such a great experience ! Northbound was very good to deal with, Friendly and courteous. The Duster got us us everywhere we needed to go, and was great on fuel for the longer trips. With the exception of F roads, I highly recommend this vehicle for touring icelands spectacular attractions.

The vehicle was excellent for us and well priced.

Lava Auto was great to work with. They got us in and out of our car quickly and they were available at very inconvenient times. We were not charged any fees and they were the best price for our trip around the island. Would certainly choose them again if I go back.

Hi. In general our trip by your car was amazing. I would only ask you to provide more information regarding driving in Iceland for not experienced drivers as I am. It would be very helpful to listen before booking. In that case I could choose "gravel protection" option for example. Thank you for everything.

It was good. We got a Mazda Cx-5. There was a problem about cigar lighter. We drove to Thrifty office in town (not the one we pickup the car), they changed a new car to us right away.

I hadn't heard of either Northbound nor Lava before booking, but took a chance based on them being the best price i found. We booked a Dacia Duster 4x4 for 2 and a half weeks. It fit me, my husband, my mom, our 2 kids (with car seats!), and all of our camping gear. Tight fit but worked great for our budget! The car was very new (we doubled its kms). THe staff at the office were amazing- super friendly, relaxed and helpful. Free pick up (we arrived at 4am!) and drop off at the airport too! would definitely recommend :)

Very good--helpful, friendly, efficient nd no sense of extra or unexpected money being demanded

Hi, been to Iceland this June, and need to say the country is absolutely a magical place and would recommended for everybody to come and enjoy Iceland. To see the most of Iceland renting a car was the best option and we had a great experience with Northbound finding a best deal and a suitable car. We rented Dacia Duster from Lava Auto Car rental and it showed to be the prefect choice. The staff was very helpful, they meet us at the airport and it took just a short drive to their office where we picked up our car. As we arrived late in the evening and was a bit dark the guy just gave us the car and said if you notice anything wrong different than stated in the contract don't worry just take some pictures and send them by email. As we did the next morning when we found some scratches and when returning the car everything was alright. The car was new and it was just a pleasure to use it exploring Iceland. This was my first experience renting a car and it was a great choice. For some next trip to Iceland I'm definitely using the same company and hopefully the same car.

The car I rented was not available so I was upgraded to Dacia Duster at no extra charge. This SUV was awesome for driving and my needs as there was 4 of us. Pick up was quick and getting my vehicle was hassle free and pleasant also quite informative. I was nervous about getting a windshield chip as they are extra insurance $ and bugs can be the size of birds lol. Overall my experience with your car rental was a great welcome to my Icelandic adventure. Thank You Paul

Really good

We were actually given an upgrade to a "Duster". WThe car went well, wad comfortable and reliable.

We had a brand new Caddy Camper and everything worked out really well. We also wanted some extra chairs, which was also no Problem for Logoon Car to organize. Really good communication und nice staff!

Excellent and very professional service: friendly approach, time for picking up rented car and return at airport according to time scheduled on reservation, good advices and price for car quality. I recommend IceRental and rent a GrandCherokee 4x4 for discovering Island.

Pick up and drop off was good except we had to wait for someone else at the airport who hadn't seen the pick-up sign that the man was holding as they came out of the airport - maybe a bigger,clearer sign may have been helpful. Car met our needs well.

Very pleased, will recommend. Easy online booking, excellent communications from Northbound. Lava Auto Car: Airport pickup was perfect. Car rental process easy. Car in excellent shape. Staff very nice. Get the feeling of trust from them. Decided to return car day early to avoid 5AM car return to airport or to Lava office (special arrangements could have been made for lift to airport). We could have left the car at airport with keys in it, but we prefer inspection and sign-off before leaving country (years of experience!). They could accommodate either option, given they are not located at airport. Need lots of time at KEF airport as it is a madhouse at 5AM :-)

Orange Car Rental is amazing. We were greeted at the airport with no wait. Once we were shuttled to the rental car place we were helped by a gentleman who was friendly and very helpful. He gave us a map and highlighted places to go and even wrote down places to visit and eat. We will definitely be renting from them again in the future!
