Outstanding!

I had a great experience renting from Thrifty. The employee I interacted with was extremely helpful, efficient, and also gave tips on driving in Iceland. I ended up with Peugeot vehicle similar in size to the Ford Focus. The vehicle was in great condition upon receipt and even had studded tires installed.

Good

The car was very good and the service was excellent and the CX-3 came up to expectations. We had no trouble with the vehicle although I would say the road noise caused by the studded winter tyres was pretty loud and the windscreen wipers were not very effective, especially the rear wiper, as they only smeared the considerable dirt from driving around the Route 1 ring road which did have unavoidable sections of gravel surprisingly. I think they should have been replaced. The expensive price of fuel was also a surprise. The navigation unit offered was useless as it did not even have hotels in Iceland listed so we swapped that out in exchange for use of the in-car wifi which worked very well mostly and in combination with our own iPad served for navigation instead of the Garman navigation unit.

I had a good experience with Thrifty Car Rental. The staff was helpful and very accommodating, and one employee inspected the car with us to make sure there was no damage beforehand. They made sure we understood everything about the car, the rental process and if we wanted extra insurance (the price includes collision insurance, but not other kinds, like windshield protection and gravel insurance). The office itself is a little ways outside Reykjavik (definitely not within walking distance) but there is a shuttle available. There was a little mix up with my payment, but it was completely sorted out within a few minutes. The drop off process couldn't be easier, you just park the car near the entrance of the office and drop the keys into the slot. All in all, I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a car rental travelling from Reykjavik.

Great. Staff was kind enough to drop us off at the office to pick up our vehicle. I also appreciated thorough explanation on vehicle condition such as prior scratches and dents. The report that was handed to me was very clear and professional. I had an awful experience through a different car rental in Reykjavik so I appreciated your highly professional service.

There were no issues with our car. Everything worked fine. We got different car, it wasn't Ford Focus, instead we got Citroen, but I guess it was an upgrade, because it had GPS, so we got GPS for free :-) Wifi worked wery well, it was the best thing we did, because we used it in the car and on all the properties where we stayed. We could take wifi box with us to the properties and the wifi box we had was much better than anything that was offered as 'complimentary wifi' :-) Overall very happy with the rental.

At our puckup time, nobody was at the Desk at RVK. We needed to wait 30 minutes to get our car. Return was obly possible without staff present via keybox. Car was fine as booked.

The Ford Kuga through Thrifty was in excellent condition and perfect for our needs. Great price when including insurance coverages and one-way drop off!
