Route 1 in Iceland

Good experience with Geysir cars rental, the car was clean but with little stuff broken. But it wasn't a problem for us. We used a key box to pick up and give back the Duster. Easy! The agency is around 7 min walking from Keflavik airport. We drive all around the road number 1 and Landmannalaugar. Everything was perfect. Thank's

General experience was very good. Booking via the website was straightforward and easy; prices were very good. There was some mix-up when picking up the car (in the confirmation it said we had to pick it up at Harpa, but it turned out that we were meant to pick it up elsewhere), but that was all sorted very well and quickly. Also the initial car had a problem with starting, but that can be understood after the covid-19 period where it may not have been used (much). That too was sorted very well. Contact on the road was also immediate and helpful. Pick-up at the end went smoothly.

Our experience with Route 1 was fantastic. The vehicle was all by new, the staff were friendly and helpful, pick up and return super easy. The only one comment I have is that the Route 1 logo is NOT included on the shuttle bus sign from the airport terminal, so it's a little confusing (it's the 3rd stop), but other than that a great experience.

Except from the fact that the actual rental company I dealed with was called Geysir Car Rental and not Route 1 (never read this name anywhere) my experience was absolutely great. I read a lot of bad reviews and stories about car rental companies in Iceland and I am very happy that it all turned out so well! Thank you very much. I will definitely recommend you guys!

My wife and I have just finished an amazing fly-drive holiday to Iceland. Our trip would not have been the same without our trusty Suzuki Jimny booked through Northbound. Great little 4x4, straight forward process, great service from Northbound's Support Gurus. All in all, very happy with the experience. Look forward to using them again when we return.

A little bit of a wait at the airport for our rental but to be fair, a LOT of people arrived at once. They were very helpful and flexible when changes were needed for the rental.

The Jimny is a great vehicle to rent for two people. The back seats fold down and you can fit 4 luggages, no problem! Good for any road. The Jimny we had developed mechanical issues shortly after we left Route 1. We contacted the emergency line, Vala answered and she had a driver deliver us another vehicle within the hour! An inconvenient circumstance, but Route 1 promptly resolved the issue and even upgraded us to a Duster for the inconvenience.

The car rental process was smooth, and the car was great, especially for the price!

Check in and out process was easy everyone was friendly and helpful. Facility was nice. Car was average. It was clean. It did make some strange noises which had us a little worried along the way and tape on the tail lights for an unknown reason but overall fine for what we needed it for. Thank you

Pick up and drop off was quick and easy. The car did have a strong odor inside (smelled like kerosine to me, though I'm not sure that's what it was) but it got us around.

Great experience and excellent customer service!

It was amazing I like every thing in Iceland I'm very happy of car and the service of the company Thanks a lot Catherine Envoyé de mon iPhone

Really good, the staff were very helpful and clear in their instructions for the car. The car was very good and clean, although the steering pulled to the right hand side, but that didn't take away from an amazing time.

Everything went perfectly once I fount the rental company at the airport. The signs to find "Route 1" were small and on a sheet with several other logos. The rental location was close, and they accommodated me when I needed to return the car before they even opened. The vehicle was great too!

I was very happy. The pick-up was timely, the check in short, the GPS essential. The car was a manual, not a problem for us but maybe for others. That might be made more clear. The driver was helpful and knowledgeable about our questions..

Our car rental experience with route 1 was excellent! Very smooth, great communication and customer service, pricing was the best we could find and the open hours were very convenient!

Great company. We drove the ring road and got gravel insurance. Returned car with some gravel damage and they didn’t hassle us at all about it. Honest company that didn’t feel like other companies we’ve used in the past where they try to take advantage of you. Would recommend to anyone renting a car in Iceland.

Service was great. Easy transportation, short wait, and our vehicle was ready to go when we arrived. The Suzuki Grand Vitara was clean and performed as advertised, which was hreatvwhen we ran into some harsh winter road conditions duringvour visit to Iceland. I would certainly rentvfrom Northbound again!

Everything happened as planned - the 4 wheel drive car was perfect for Iceland weather - car was clean and operated without incident - particularly liked the studded tires which i think are a must for Iceland. We were met at airport on time and the car was ready at the lot.

All great, clean car, recommended! Everything was as described. Took out the full insurance, quick return.

Very good, very helpful and straight when we had our accident
