Excellent

I had a good experience with Thrifty Car Rental. The staff was helpful and very accommodating, and one employee inspected the car with us to make sure there was no damage beforehand. They made sure we understood everything about the car, the rental process and if we wanted extra insurance (the price includes collision insurance, but not other kinds, like windshield protection and gravel insurance). The office itself is a little ways outside Reykjavik (definitely not within walking distance) but there is a shuttle available. There was a little mix up with my payment, but it was completely sorted out within a few minutes. The drop off process couldn't be easier, you just park the car near the entrance of the office and drop the keys into the slot. All in all, I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a car rental travelling from Reykjavik.

Great. Staff was kind enough to drop us off at the office to pick up our vehicle. I also appreciated thorough explanation on vehicle condition such as prior scratches and dents. The report that was handed to me was very clear and professional. I had an awful experience through a different car rental in Reykjavik so I appreciated your highly professional service.

There were no issues with our car. Everything worked fine. We got different car, it wasn't Ford Focus, instead we got Citroen, but I guess it was an upgrade, because it had GPS, so we got GPS for free :-) Wifi worked wery well, it was the best thing we did, because we used it in the car and on all the properties where we stayed. We could take wifi box with us to the properties and the wifi box we had was much better than anything that was offered as 'complimentary wifi' :-) Overall very happy with the rental.

At our puckup time, nobody was at the Desk at RVK. We needed to wait 30 minutes to get our car. Return was obly possible without staff present via keybox. Car was fine as booked.

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

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.

Everything worked great. Car pickup went smoothly, the car was just what the four of us needed. It had very low km on it and it was good on diesel fuel. The Thrifty people were nice and got us on the road quickly. Drop off was easy and we waited about 10 minutes for the shuttle back to the airport which took maybe another 7 minutes. Overall, a real good experience

Thrifty is located a few minutes away from the main terminal, together with most of the other rental companies. There's a large shuttle bus that passes through every 20 minutes, so be prepared to survive outside for a few minutes. Picking up (and dropping off) the car from Thrifty went smoothly. There were just one or two people ahead of us, and the staff was efficient, so we didn't have to wait for more than a few minutes. The "Mazda CX-3 AWD (or similar)" turned out to be a slightly larger Mazda CX-5, which was fine with me. The car's paint had pre-existing damage from gravel, which was great, since I had declined insurance coverage for that kind of damage...

Even though we did have a couple of minor problems with our Mazda CX5, our experience with Thrifty was positive. On our first day we had the "key battery low" sign appear, but thankfully we were still in Reykjavik and were able to get the second key from their city office. Then on the 3rd day the "BSM malfunction" sign appeared across the dashboard. That was scary, since we didn't know what BSM means. We calls the Thrifty number, a person immediately responded, though it was past 10 pm. The guy had to find out what BSM means. A few minutes later he called us back to let us know that it means Blind Spot Monitor, which was not important at all. No other issues while driving or when we returned the car. We didn't purchase any additional insurance from them (I received a letter of coverage from Mastercard, but didn't have to show it to them).

Excellent. The pickup process was quick as well as returning back the vehicle. The van is clean when we pick up and it's a comfortable ride for 9 passengers as well as able to fit luggage bags at the rear. The car rental pick up location is very near to the Keflavik airport. The confirmation email should be updated with altenative 5 minutes walk, thus we don't have to wait for the shuttle bus out in the cold :)
