Car Rentals in Iceland

Very good experience with lagoon car rental. Very nice staff. Very good choice about car. Thank you for all.

We had a very early morning arrival. Traveling tired is never fun and often stressful. The experience with both Northbound (super simple booking and great communication) and Icerental4x4 (on time and super efficient getting us on the road without delay) was awesome. Thanks to both of you for making renting a car for a long trip, just great !!

The Jeep is very comfy and perfect size for us. Equipped with everything we need. Two tiny things we don't like are that it produces a lot of smoke and that sometimes the heater on the back has weird smell.

Nice rental. Very good contact with Icerental 4X4. Not the most recent Suzuki Gran Vitara but it was still pretty good. We couldn't make real high mountains roads but it helped several times during harsh weather conditions, on other minor roads with some holes and several times also when we used F-roads, even if it was not for long distances... Company chosen because it seemed really reliable.

Quite positive. Good prices, good vehicle, helpful people (I showed up early and they were still able to work with me) .

Great service. Really friendly and informative. Would definitely use northbound for future trips. Highly recommended!

Had a great holiday and the car was fine. I haven't got too much experience in 4x4 driving, it would be nice if you provided a short demo on how best to manage the car through tough terrain but other than that we found it comfortable

My experience with Northbound went as smoothly as it could get. The customer service was spot on and the car was perfect!! Ill be back again to visit Iceland and will definitely book with them again!

i booking landcriuser but his ford vehicle . first day it not start drive . i change vehicle at rekjavik city and the lost time

We had an excellent experience driving a camper in Iceland in general, and renting from Star in particular. At the ungodly hour we arrived our host at Star took the time to welcome us with good coffee and cover the essentials foreign drivers must know. The camper was exactly what we expected and handled really well. The bed was very comfy and two people with modest luggage will find enough storage room. The curtains made a  pleasant difference! Suggestions: If you rent a camper bring a duffel bag instead of a suitcase (it won't fit in the space under the bed) and, be smart, get the gravel insurance... There is a LOT of gravel all over!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our jeep was the perfect vehicle for our Iceland adventure. Would rent again from this company on our next trip back.

The service with northbound was very good. All you rent is inside. Very good and helpful is the GPS-System. The car has some stone strikes outside but it doesn't matter. Otherwise was everything ok. Best regards, Angela

Very good :)

Abbiamo affittato un Suzuki Gran Vitara per 8 giorni, prezzi molto buoni per gli standard islandesi. Si tratta di un rent a car locale, con un buon parco macchine. Quando sono arrivato mi hanno fatto scegliere il colore e mi hanno proposto un modello più recente allo stesso prezzo. Per quanto riguarda l'auto non era proprio nuovissima ma ha fatto molto bene il suo dovere. Lo staff è stato gentile e disponibile nel darmi tutte le istruzioni del caso, in un ottimo inglese. Al momento della consegna dell'auto vi lasciano anche un numero da chiamare 24h su 24h per i casi emergenza. Fortunatamente non ne abbiamo avuto bisogno. In definitiva è stata un'esperienza molto positiva, consigliatissimo!

An excellent service, a real pleasure to get so fast answer ... don't hesitate to work with Northbound !!

Everything was great. Service was excellent..staff very friendly..the car was almost new.

I recently rented a 4x4 from from Northbound. They picked us up from the airport and drove us a short distance to their office to sign the papers. They upgraded us with no charge. In minutes we were ready to go. All went went. The explorer was not new but in great condition. It rained solid for three days and we could have used some new windshield wipers, but all else was fine. Our flight home left at 6am which was before their office was open. They made special arrangements for us to leave the car at the airport. So cooperative and good service. Its great to support small companies. I would definitely rent from them for our next visit.

My experience was amazing with these guys. I made a mistake when booking and had arranged to pick the car up in Reykjavik when really we needed picked up at the Keflavik airport. I called them and within 10 minutes they were at the airport and drove us to get our car free of charge. They also thought the vehicle we booked was too small for the group (which they were very right) and gave us a free upgrade to a larger vehicle. Would definitely rent again!

The 4 wheel drive was great for the local roads. Although we didn’t go on any “F” roads… some of the local ones were scary enough! (plus, they tell you NOT to go on "F" roads... for good reason, trust me!) The GPS is an antique... we got a local SIM Data chip and used that in a smart phone for GPS, which I would recommend. They met us at the Airport and made the transfer really easy...and you just drop it off on the way out in long term parking, also easy. There is a gas station at the right side of the terminal to fill the vehicle up... 4W drives suck gas...but we knew that coming in, and I would say this Santa Fe gets better mileage than my Toyota 4WD. The vehicle is a 2006, but in great mechanical shape and we had no problems... plus, we didn't look like tourists. The drivers in Iceland are super polite and the roads are curvy and narrow enough that you really do not want to speed. Hey, you're there to see the this incredible country anyway... slow down and soak it in. All in all, a great experience and I would highly recommend these guys. KK from Florida

The car rental was excellent--the staff was friendly and helpful, they provided us will all the information we needed, and they were easy to reach when we had questions. We ended up wanting to extend our reservation, and they were very accommodating. I recommend them highly, and will rent from them again if I return to Iceland (which I very much hope to do someday).

I liked it a lot. A powerful car! Was great on and off road.

Excellent service. Really appreciated the delivery to our hotel and that we could drop the car off at any hotel / guest house in Keflavik (and Reykjavik & Akureyri!). Good communication throughout and excellent price. Will use again when next in Iceland and have no hesitation in recommending them.

great and helpful staff

THE BAD: Due to a communication breakdown, information regarding my booking had not been received by the car rental company, Lagoon Car Rental. After waiting 30 mins past the pick up time, I finally asked the owners of the hotel to phone the number I'd been given, only to find they knew nothing about my booking. Someone did eventually come and collect me but, as a result of the confusion, my departure from Reykjavic was delayed by over 2 1/2 hours. THE GOOD: Because of the mix-up, Lagoon Car Rental upgraded me to a Subaru Forester, with GPS. The car proved to be a great vehicle to drive and my overall experience, renting a car in Iceland, was a good one. (My rating reflects the inconvenience and stress caused by the initial problems with the booking.)
