Good
We did not understand that the pick up was from outside and that no-one would come into the building to meet us.

Fine
Had a bad experience with Northern Lights Car Rental in the check in process: - different information in the invoices received (total ammount of 32.384 ISK or 32.051,42 ISK) - the 5.033 ISK ammount already paid was at first not being considered by the rental car firm as they wanted to charge the full ammount. Only after hard conversation I paid the new ammount asked (28.051 ISK) just to avoid more trouble even though it was above the ammount due - they tried very agressively to sell an upgrated insurance - the car was in very bad shape and lacked performance - the radio was not functioning

The car was very comfortable. It did so well in very challenging conditions. Plenty of space for us, our little son and luggage. We were picked up from the airport on time and dropped off without any problems. Staff was very helpful and provided us with all the details we needed. Would happily rent with them again.

The car was great, and very helpful with the big storm we had during our rental - thank goodness for 4x4! George at your offices was particularly brilliant as there was an issue with the boot door upon pickup. It wasn't opening fully (just the window section was working) and he spotted this from the office upstairs and came straight down to help us. It just turned out to be frozen closed as George had cleared the ice on the car for us and was working again by that afternoon. He even helped by calling a cab for us when we dropped the car back off. One item I wanted to suggest was some winter gear i.e. a brush and maybe a scraper to clear the ice / snow on the vehicle during the hire period. We managed without it but it would so helpful for tourists if this kind of equipment was in the vehicle as standard. If it's stolen, you can always charge back the hirer for the costs but personally, we would really have appreciated having this type of equipment in the vehicle, especially during the winter with the weather being so unpredictable :-)

The car was given to us in absolutely mint condition, along with a set of winter tyres and snow brush and ice scraper. Honestly for the four of us it was the best deal for winter driving in Iceland. Despite the icy roads, heavy snowfall and strong winds, the grip of the car was outstanding and we felt very safe while travelling. The platinum insurance provided us with peace of mind, as the weather was quite rough. The full-to-full fuel tank policy means we could just take a car and go exploring on the first day without an extra stop for fuel. It was a pleasure renting from Northbound and I would definitely seek a car from them again in the future.

Fantastic!
We had a substitute for a Toyota RAV4 - a Suzuki 4x4 hybrid- the car was great! All the nice extras- leather seats, heated steering wheel and seats, we loved the EV , very comfortable to drive - customer service at pick up and drop off terrific.

Took 90 mins to get my car, nearly an hour to drop off. Waiting at airport, ride to site, waiting in line, my car wasn't available, they "upgraded" me to a manual, I reserved automatic, had to switch again, third car, finally leave the lot 90 mins later, car needed alignment, had error on dash, gas tank wouldn't open, mirror broke in parking lot, they held me for 45 mins at drop off to fill out paperwork, nearly missed my flight, literally held the gate for me, last person on board. Worth paying extra to go with a reputable company at the airport.

The customer service was excellent with MYCAR. They were very responsive to emails, the shuttle picked us up from the airport right on time, vehicle pick up and drop off were super easy, the people working there were knowledgeable and friendly, and and the return shuttle was just as smooth. I can't say enough good things about our experience with this company and we will 100% rent from them the next time we're in Iceland. Thank you for a great experience.

The car was perfect and literally saved our lives. We slipped on the icy road but managed to balance ourselves not to hardly. Hybrid car is amazing, saved a bit on fuel. Lava car insurance covered the damages and customer service is perfect!

Thank you. The car was in good condition. The rental team at Icerental 4*4 was friendly and cooperative. The rental procedure passed smoothly. We especially admired the pick up and drop off at the airport. As a point for improvement we’d suggest having a faster email support and fixing the form on the website. But these two are minors really.

I'll share with you my thoughts about the car. Headlights were really poor and one of The bulps Was switching off. As A client I should be informed much earlier about The demages . Suspension was broken and the brakes was also not in a proper shape. All of this should be perfect especially in Iceland

Very nice. We washed the car before returning it. The employee said we don't need to do that as they would do in any case. So maybe this point could be clearer upfront. :)

Hi Ivar, Jeep was fine. Only issue was windscreen wiper fluid was frozen on pick-up. We bought a new container but it wasn’t needed. Plane was late. Meet person very matter of fact, His meet board showed the car company amongst a few others so was not very visible on first look, not helped by me looking for a northbound guy! Return guys were more jovial. All in all a good experience.

My rental car process was very smooth. Before including insurance coverages, I found the most affordable cars from northbound. I really enjoyed the vehicle as it got me across the south coast of Iceland and back, but my favorite part was meeting the employees. They were all so kind and welcoming- going above and beyond for me that I never would have expected. Next time I'm in Iceland, I would repeat this process over again!
