Reviews for car rentals in

Iceland

I am very satisfied with the service of star rental cars. I did hie the car for a week. The paperwork by the pick up was fast and good. I had the bad luck that there was a problem with the car on the 5th day and after calling star rental they made that i could get another car within 1 hour. I was brought to the village were i could get the other car and after 1,5 hours i was on the road again. So i can say only 1 thing: service was great which is in my opinion the most important.

Good car, rugged and really reliable to use. It was a good experience, never did we have any problems throughout our journey. It was in good condition as well

Great reliable van from Affordable campers, and the owner was really nice (super chatty)... It was probably the smallest camper available, but fully equipped with diesel based van heater, good sized peltier fridge and kitchen equipment. The only downsides with this size of van and configuration is that it wasn't possible to sit up on the bed in the back (lack of headroom) or to cook in the van (but that wasn't really an issue with the number of campsites that have a covered kitchen).

Everything went well. I think that your insurance policy must be enhanced. Too many options and some of them difficult to understand by someone that not knew Iceland and the country routes before.

A person of icerental wait for us un the airport past midnigth to drive us to the renthal parking. The process of geting the car was clear and fast. The best price i found checking several sites. Profesional workers and low estés. Good work Will repeat !

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

Everything was okay. When we`d had questions, they were answered helpfully and quickly.The Automatic Ford is an excellent vehicle to discover Iceland.
Many thanks to you and your team.

My general experience with Grand Iceland it's positive due we had a great trip, the campervan worked perfectly and the mattress was confortable (slept really well). The man that attended us was talkative and funny. He was really nice giving us tips, recommendations, extra blankets and flexibility with the drop off. Even gave us him phone number to be in contact just in case anything happened. I really appreciated it.
As a cons, I'd say I found a little lack of professionalism since the sink and tab were leaking ( talked to another Grand Iceland user and told me his was leaking too ). Also rented one table and two chairs, noticed they were not on the van and had to go back to Reykjavik the day after. I could not make the table stand more than one feet over the ground since looked like the legs did not belong to that table and both chairs were broken and could not use them ( and huge since you want them small to save space in the van )...

The car was good, clean, and as advertised

Lotus Car rental were efficient and helpful. The vehicle we rented was spacious and comfortable, perfectly suited to our journey all the way around the island.

Everything is beyond good I’d say. 4WD with sport and mud/sand mode allows for all conditions of road. 24/7 airport shuttle service is fantastic for flight at anytime. It would be better if there is a suggestion on the website about the car insurance.

The Ford Expedition proved to be a great choice: not exactly brand new, but sturdy and enough room for 6 passengers and luggage. We stopped counting the rivers we've crossed.
Only room for improvement was that we were not met at the airport when we came through customs: we had to call the office and were told we had to wait some more, and only then did an agent from Icerental 4x4 arrived at the airport.

Happy Camper

Renting a Nordic Camping van has been the perfect choice for our Icelandic vacation, giving us the freedom to plan our itinerary day-by-day. The van had the perfect size for travelling, much smaller than a normal camper, and we found it suited for our family of 4 adults even though some adaptation is required.
The van was a bit old but it was ok.
Shuttle service from/to airpot has been perfect, as check in and drop off procedures, very gentle staff.
I would only suggest to add a table as basic equipment.

Pick up and return went smoothly, quickly. The car was perfectly suitable for our purpose

The car was old, but in perfect condition, enough space for for adults with backpacks. Can only recommend.

Perfect ! Everything went somthly, Car was in perfect condition , no issues on gravel roadsµ.

Everything went smoothly! Though we did not get a Hyundai Tucson at the Keflavik airport, but a Kia Sportage, we later learned that this is more or less the procedure: you rent the type of the car and not the car itself. The thing is, Kia was perfect and we were really happy afterwards! Nice car, safe, comfortable, easy to drive. The Northbound staff, especially Runar, was very helpful all the way, even before our trip, answering to every question. If you are visiting Iceland, choose Northbound to rent a car!

Car was very used but in decent conditions, fit for the trip at the best price we could find.

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!

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!

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 was okay, except for the problems we had the first day with the battery and the gas levels. We phoned several times and the first time we phoned the person who took the phone was very rude and didn't want to help us. The rest of them very well. The car and the transportation to and from the airport was als okay.

Car was the right offer for our trip, aside from minor details was fully suitable to our ends.
Thanks for the proper recommendation.

We had An upgrade with a tucson which worked Just fine and It Was delivered to Us earlier.

First car we picked up had a engine car problem, appeared with a yellow light on the control panel. We had to go back and change the car. Then, with the new one, experience was good and we hadn't any problem with the second car.

Really great experience. Guys would answer my phone calls and assist me very friendly, they are forthcoming and really normal guys. No problem at all about the car - quick pickup, drop off, explained to me everything well about the Icelandic traffic regulations etc. The car was also great.

Jimmy had 175k on it and was worn out. To say it wallowed in the wind was putting it mildly. After using 4x4 the wheels locked up and a mechanic was needed to in unlock them, cost us 25,000k.
