Ring in Island

The Van work out very well for the ~3.200 km But I wanted to rent with a minimum of insurance - pre booked from home - that was not possible when I arrived at RING. I had to paid for the premium insurance (71.370 ISK). mail: [email protected]

The car was very good. But since all t the F-roads where closed we could have just chosen a 2WD car instead. The roof top tent made an extremely annoying and very loud whistleing sound while driven, we had to use earplugs most of the time. Called RING but they had no really help to offer. Finally we wrapped towels around the base and that helped a bit. We would have liked information about the parking system. It was very annoying to have to pay for every short stop and we skipped some things we wanted to see because of it. Also we could not find any information about what happens if you only drive into the parking and turn around. We backed out at one occasion in the north and returned the other day. Not sure if we were registered at all as leaving the first day or if we were registered to stay for a long period since we did not turn the car around. Very sad to have to pay around 7 euros every time you wanted to stop by to just watch the nice view for 20 minutes or so. Very sad system. Ruined some of the experience. Would have been easier if we had known more before, suggestion is that the car provider offer some good to know-information and tips about parking. Also feed back to parking-fee-provider that their system is ruining for tourist om a tighter budget and that the app doesn't always work for everyone. I dont have the phone needed for the use of apps and sometimes there were no machine. Suggestion to offer a parking-card instead, I would rather have payed a higher one time sum directly to be able to park and watch the beautiful waterfalls whenever I like and not have to think about that parking all the time. Maybe that's something the car rentals could offer, they par all the parking tickets and the costumer pay a little higher weekly (or something) price in advance..?

We had a really nice 20-day long experience driving around exploring Iceland's Ring Road. We knew in advance this was an older model, but the 4x4 car drove really well and a dent or two didn't really make any difference to us at all. A few details pulls the score down though. We had to wait 40 mins at pickup because they forgot a table for us and we were promised to receive a video on WhatsApp showing how to open and ready the rooftop tent. We had to figure this out ourselves on our first night. When you promise to send some info and you don't, it's not great :) But all in all, we had a lovely time in Iceland and we will recommend Northbound anytime. Great value for money.

The car we rented was perfect for our Iceland roadtrip. The only hiccup is that we thought we rented from Northbound, so upon arrival at the airport we kept looking for a Northbound sign, not knowing the rental was actually through Ring. This could be made more clear. Otherwise the rest of the experience was great!

Everything went well with the vehicle.

We had a good experience! Booked a plug in hybrid and the car was quite old (>100k mileage) and had a lot of small damages but didn’t bother us. Unfortunately, the battery wasn’t charged when we received the car but not a big deal.

I liked it and it has been a good experience
