Nordic Car Rental Campers in Island

Renting a Nordic Camping van has been the perfect choice for our Icelandic vacation, giving us the freedom to plan our itinerary day-by-day. The van had the perfect size for travelling, much smaller than a normal camper, and we found it suited for our family of 4 adults even though some adaptation is required. The van was a bit old but it was ok. Shuttle service from/to airpot has been perfect, as check in and drop off procedures, very gentle staff. I would only suggest to add a table as basic equipment.

We are very happy about the travel. The car works perfectly and the stuff inside were complete for cook and slip. It's very comfortable sleep inside the car compared to the tent when the wind is strong or when it rain. Super recommended for camping and save a lot of money compared to hotel!

It was a Ford Katamarano

The campervan served its purpose very well. It is not a 4x4, but we felt safe driving everywhere, including gravel roads. In total we drove around 2500 kms in 13 days. We were traveling with a 15 month old toddler, he was in his childseat between my wife and I, and we had just enough room. The tires were winter tires, and we did have one flat tire, which we had to get repaired. These were not in the best condition, and the 4 tires were all from different brands - so that could have been better. I called nordic campers, and they could provide with assistance when we had that problem. We had a sink in the car. After the first night we noticed it was leaking, so we had to go back to get it fixed. In the second to last day (day 12 of 13 total rental days) it started leaking again. Thank you for the car and for the assistance, during and before our trip!

An incredible experience with a serious and friendly company that from the first day helped us in everything we needed. 100% recommended!!

It was a great vehicle, the whole process was very professional, with great staff to deal with.

The experience with nordic campers was terrible and i've written the an e-mail about it. They didn't pick us up at the airport as they ought to, they didn't show us anything about the car but simply handed us keys. The car was in very bad condition, not even close to what the pictures had given the impression of. Not entirely pumped tires, backdoors unable to open, sidedoor-pulls screwed on and half loose, seats and beds were loose, steering wheel was not aligned and gas stove did not work properly.

Great for the trip to iceland, low gas consommation,

My husband and I have traveled many times by motorhome from Canada to New Zealand so when we decided to holiday in Iceland we thought the only way to see your beautiful country would be to do the same. We arrived at the airport where we were told we would be picked up, which we were, after waiting for an hour and two phone calls later, this should have been a warning sign that we were not dealing with professionals. After arriving at your premises the paperwork was done quickly and efficiently but then we were informed that although we had hired a vehicle with cooking facilities we had to pay an extra 100euros for the gas to use it, ok we had to pay. We were then shown the motorhome and how it worked along the the explaination that the bathroom door had been broken but there was a knack to closing it and he showed us how, also the toilet was a bit smelly but if we kept the seat down we wpold not be able to smell it. He then went indoors to bring us the bedding package we had paid for, not neatly ironed and in a plastic bag like we had been used to from other hire firms but rolled up in a bundle and bumped on the bed. As we have hired motorhomes before we know they are never perfect and a few minor problems have to be expected, with this in mind we were ready and excited to begin our holiday and excepted the keys. Now the nightmare begins. As my husband went to drive off the knob of the gear stick came off in his hand, he showed it to the member of staff standing by the window who just shrugged his shoudlers, but no worries there were shops nearby so off we went to buy some superglue and oh did we need it. Superglue and gear knob glued on we went to our first campsite. Having arrived I went to make us a hot drink only to have the tap knob come off in my hand, more superglue. I then went to make up the bed only to find that the sheet provided was still wet and must have been wet for some time as it was stinking of dampness and we could'nt use it, it was put into the broom cupboard until I gave to your staff member to smell when we returned the vehicle. That first evening before going to bed we went to close the blinds when the one above the table (where our daughter was sleeping) fell off, my husband fixed it but it was obvious that the holes were too big for the screws, it came off again in the morning while trying to bring it down and this went on for two more days before our daughter asked us to leave it of as she was afraid it might fall on her during the night, it went into the same cupboard as the sheet. After day two I asked my husband to please take out the toilet cassette and rinse it out as keeping the seat down had not stopped the smell permeating through the vehicle, we has'nt used it as we use the site bathrooms and would only ever use the vehicle one in emergencies but when he took it out he said it did not smell, I went into the bathroom to discover it wasn't the toilet that stunk but the bathroom itself. Half an hour and almost a whole bottle of cleaning product later the bathroom no longer had a smell and was spotless, all it needed was a good clean which it is obvious it had not had in a long long time, I even poured hot water though the drains for the next three days as that is where most the smell was coming from, it did not smell at all when we returned it. Because of the state of the toilet I spent the next two hours cleaning the whole vehcle, emptying all the cupboards, on my hand and kness with a scourer scrubbing the floor only to realise the whole place was filthy. All of these things were annoying but really minor problems and if only they had been the worst we might have said nothing but the worst is still to come. The passenger seat that swivels would not lock into a forward postion so every time went round a sharp corner I had to hold onto the door handle to stop the seat from moving. On day three while on the east side of the island where the roads are not the best and can be a bit bumpy my daughter let out a scream and as I turned around to see what was wrong I saw the bathroom door had fallen off and had just missed hitting her. My husband pulled over to side of the road at the first oppertunity and manged to fit it back on only to find that the middle hinge was totaly broken and the bottom hinge was only held on by one screw as the other one could not be fitted ( which is why the door would not shut properly when we were given it and you knew this) After this the bathroom was out of bounds and the door was only ever opened when I went in to clean the drains. We also discovered that the front windscreen leaks in heavy rain and the water drips over the dash electrics so wh had to travel with a cloth over the dash. But the worst thing of all was the wall next to the table which was also the space our daughter was meant to sleep at. We had noticed that the original inner wall had come off and it had been covered up with some cheap stick on liner but after a few days this had started to peel off and revealed the damp mouldy wall behind it, mould which our daughter was expected to breath in all night while sleeping and sit beside while traveling, thats disgusting and you are disgusting for knowly allowing that. This dampness is also why the blind would not stay on as the wall is soft and the screws won't hold. All of these things were told and shown to your staff member when we returned the vehicle. After complaining when we returned a female staff member went through to the back premises and returned some time later to say the manager was'nt in to talk to us, I do not for one second believe this, I believe he just wouldn't come through. I am absolutely appalled with the horrendous condition of the vehicle you rented to us and had you not contacted us I was most certainly going to email you along with an email to the Iceland Tourist Board, tripadviser, twitter, Facebook and all the websites I find your company being advertised on or any promoting your company. This vehicle should never have been on the road. You are a disgrace to your country and Iceland should be embarrassed that you represent it. L J Kelly J Kelly

Easy booking incl. additional services likes insurance, WiFi router, bedding, although not always clear what is really needed if one is not familiar with travelling with a motorhome in Iceland. Easy pickup and return with friendly staff on site. The motorhome was an older model as described in the booking process, but all worked fine. The only thing what made us nervous were some control lamps of the car which indicated errors but were probably only reflecting problems with the sensors, and uncertainty about the battery's charge status. Kind shuttle from/to airport or whereever needed in Keflavik.
