Outstanding!
The Citroen worked out perfect for us, with 6 adults. It was roomey, plenty of space for us and in back for our luggage. The great thing was that both doors on the side of the vehicle opened. Easy n easy out. Also the the gas mileage was excellent. The only downfall was it doesn’t do well in extreme wind conditions, moderate ones ok. The vehicle is also comfortable n easy to view out for the back passengers.

Experience was good in general. A bit confusing as I thought I was renting from "Northbound" not thrifty, that could have been more clear. The thrifty pickup didn't go that well, some confusion between them an me, not sure who was to blame.

Getting the car and returning the car was very simple and fast. I liked that alot. But I'm not sure about the cleanliness of the car. Because the Volvo we got wasn't clean at all, as if I rented right after someone else. It that is a standard then I think you need to improve on that. Also need better guideline about parking in the city, like what does the hour clock is and do we need to do anything, or where to wash the care in case we needed. All of these info we learnt from asking but it would help if you told us as a guideline. In general driving in Iceland was a great experience. The car was brand new and running good. Oh also it would help if you can tell us before hand how much fuel the car needed for full tank.

Great experience. The booking process through Northbound was very easy. Upon arrival into KEF airport, we followed the instructions provided and took the shuttle to the Thrifty rental location and were happily surprised with an upgrade to a Ford Galaxy minivan. This worked out perfectly for us as we had a lot of luggage! I would recommend Northbound and if I visit Iceland again will certainly use their services.

We got the car we asked for, and all worked fine with two minor exceptions: Car lacked engine oil after only 5 hours in use, this should have been checked prior rental by Thrifty. We bought and topped up with oil, and expense refunded by Thrifty when car was returned. Cleanliness inside the car was poor at pick up, we spent quite some time cleaning from previous user, during the first day of driving. Apart from this, it was a nice drive because it was a Volvo.

Great car. Loved the huge windshield, easy to see on both sides. It would’ve been helpful if the Thrifty agent spent a few minutes showing me the controls so I didn’t waste time in the parking lot trying to find the parking brake release.

We really enjoyed driving this car. With 2 adults, 4 children, a full sized stroller, luggage and spare bags, we managed to pack it all in! The car was torquey, excellent on fuel, and fun to drive. Would consider purchasing one, we liked it so much.
