hi, Rúnar, Thrifty's Volvo xc90, which you borrowed through your company, was in good condition and the staff was friendly. If you visit Iceland next time, I will use your company again. Thank you. Rúnar

Very quick and easy to book a good value rental - the car we collected was better than booked and a query about the onboard Wi-fi was quickly sorted out over the phone

The staff were very professional and efficient. They came out to the car and checked it over with me to make sure any previous dents or scratches were properly recorded. They also gave me a free GPS, which turned out to be more necessary than I expected.

Overall the process was very smooth. We were provided with a Ford Kuga which we were quite pleased with, although I suspect the Mazda may have been a better vehicle. Thrify also were having issues with their in-car wifi system (which we only found out after we had driven far away), so ended up having to return to Reykyavik the following day to pick up a dongle. Definitely make sure you check wifi is working before leaving! Northbound were great though - no issues with them at all, and everything with the booking otherwise was excellent.

Smooth pick-up and drop-off of rental car at Thrifty Car Rental. At pick-up, the staff showed us the full gas tank, nicks on the car bonnet that were already noted on the rental documents and assured us that the Premium CDW we had opted for provided full coverage (except damage arising from driving in rivers, tyres and wheels, which we were aware of and the staff reiterated). Returning the car at 5am (to catch a 7am flight) was quick and hassle-free. Nothing more beyond checking for a full gas tank and the mileage clocked. Having read several negative reviews about car rental companies in Iceland, my concerns were unfounded. I chose to book through Northbound for its competitive pricing, good reviews and ample details on their website, after having done a fair amount of online research. I will recommend and use Northbound's services again on future trips.
