Verified reviews from our customers that rented a car from Thrifty Car Rental

Excellent
The car was in excellent condition and we enjoyed our experience save getting charged for an unfair fee. Be aware that if the gas tank is not 100 percent filled, you will get charged, even if it was only 7/8 full at pickup.

The auto was fine and served our needs. The pickup process at Keflavik airport was a bit confusing. You stated in an email that we would be shuttled offsite to the auto. We finally figured out to look for Thrifty, not Northbound. Then the Thrifty representative was so busy fielding calls and reservations from customers who booked direct, we were pushed to the end of the queue. I did not realize you were a middle man.

Great rental experience w/ Northbound. No issues at all. Very good pricing and car options. Smooth pickup from airport terminal and very short ride to the rental location. Very customer friendly and accommodating (were very helpful in reconciling a booking error I made). Will definitely use again next trip.

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!
