We were given an alternative car instead (Mazda CX-5) which was clean, well equipped (studded winter tyres were really good in the snow & ice) and was exactly what we needed. Pick-up and drop-off were hassle free (shuttle bus to/from the airport). The company were in touch regarding the recent volcanic eruptions which was appreciated. Would definitely book with Northbound again.

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!

Our week in Iceland was fantastic, thanks to our 2022 Mazda rental! Navigating the country was a breeze, and the prices were unbeatable during our search for rentals. The complimentary airport shuttle was a convenient perk, prompting us to extend our rental by an extra day for just an additional 20 pounds! Without a doubt, we would choose to rent from here again!

The car we rented from Thrifty (through Northbound) worked out quite well. Especially since we were visiting during winter and had several days of snow (10"+) and strong winds.

Instead of the Citroen C4 we got the Peugeot 5008 and I am not sure of the comparison, but the Peugeot was great. It had all the amenities we needed and it was great on the road. A problem we ran into was space. For our trip we needed a seven seater because there were 6 people travelling in our group. The person who sat on the third row seats were just suffering on longer drives. They had little to no space for their feet. Other than that the car was good. As for the car rental Thrifty the communication and customer services was good they worked with us when we were uncertain. However, and I do not know if it is right to review about it here, when we checked our bank statements we saw we got charged twice for the car insurance we got and after the holidays we will try to get in touch with them about it.

Everythig was great. Although, the automatic gearbox of the CX-30 is not efficient ...A lot of engine overspeed for very average performance (the automatic is not much better thant entry level vehicle). Anyway the rest was great as rated

Thanks northbound for both such a high quality car that let me enjoy an incredible trip around Iceland and the customer service I received when I picked the car up. Everything was made exceptionally easy and the prices for what I got were well priced and competitively I loved exploring Iceland and mean to go back and will certainly be looking to hire from you again. The only reason pick up / drop off wasn’t perfect scores is I had a small confusion getting the number to call on arrival (I think as I booked third party) and was slightly nervous choosing the correct drop box at the end to return keys to as I was out of office hours return.

We did not get the ordered car, we got a Mazda, still 4wd but smaller driver space and what was really bad, the GPS map navigation was not updated, several times we found ourselfes in the middle of no-where. The gas was only 3/4 full when we picked up the car and at return we had an agrrement that we just returned the car(before 6 AM) and tokk a taxi to the airport, but the taxi didnt arrive so the shuttle had to drive us at 6 AM, but suddenly someone should go through the car and we arrived very late at the airport with unnecesary stress. Another thing, the thrifty car rental adress is not on any map and very hard to find, we tried tha Car GPS, google maps and apple map. Last time we rented a Car feom you on the faroy island thing whent much more smooth!

Hi, All worked very fine. Quick car pick on Thrift. I was lucky to get Mazda Cx-5 instead. The only issue was to find the pick up point ( near bakery inside the airport). We had full insurance, hence no car inspection required (very comfortable). Return of the car quick , no issues.

Hi, actually we rent a Mazda CX-30 Manual but we got a Ford Kuga automatic. For us the Ford Kuga automatic was ok and it was good to drive and we were satisfied with the car. Still I would recommend, if sometmone rents a manual car, that we gets a manual car and if an automatic car is rent, then ghe person should get a automatic car.
