Northern Lights Car Rental in Islanda

We rented the Dacia for 3 weeks and drove around the country with no problems at all. Iceland has some pretty narrow, steep and winding roads and there were no concerns at any point with the car. We were 3 adults with camping gear (Including a tent) and managed to pack everything in, though it was cozy! The car is basic, manual transmission without major bells or whistles. We needed an adaptor for the lighter to charge our cell phones, for example. However, I wasn't looking for luxury - I was looking for safety and practicality at a reasonable price and that is what I got. Staff and service were great too!

Quick and easy rental with good price and quality. No problems with an old car with high mileage. Everything worked find, car was clean.

Car was good, good value for money, a bit old, but performed well. Roof top tent was a new experience for us, but we loved it. Pickup could have been smoother - member of stuff met us at the airport, asked us to wait for the next transfer in 20 minites and then disappeared for 40, the company didn’t pick up the phone. Not critical, but had us worried. The rental also had a weird requirement to give them our credit card number, including cvc code, by writing it on a piece of paper (???). When we argued that it does not sound secure, they just kept saying that this is how they do things here. Drop-off ran smoothly.

With 230.000 kms it already felt a bit old, but for our purpose, experiencing the highlands, it was great!

Rented a Duster 2017 with rooftop tent from Nothern Lights Rental, because they had the best price for that setup when we researched, so I was a bit suspicious. But have to say: Very good experience overall! (as the Icelandic weather is nothing to blame the rental company for ;-) But if you choose this setup you should be aware of the fact that - if it's rainy, which can happen a lot in iceland - all your life must happen inside the car, or the rooftent, or (if you find one) in the shared spaces of the campsites. Can sometimes get complicated especially for the gas-cooking in the wind. A Note: The rooftent only works for people up to a height of 1,90 I'd say to sleep comfortable. A TIP: If you have to build down the rooftent while rain, you should put the matress into the car to dry over the day, otherwise you'll get it wet from the water on the other cover of the tent and have a moldy bed in the evening. Nothern lights rental did a very good job, also the very friendly staff, who took some time to answer questions, although it was busy at rent out and drop off. We got a free upgrade to a 2019 model, because the originally 2017 Duster had some strange noise from the machine. That car brought us safely through 14 days of iceland, including Highland visit (fyi: F905 and 910 works with the Duster, but be sure to contact the rangers (for example at Dreki hut) before to check the conditions, especially water-levels in the rivers). Against my prejudice the Duster 2019 is a great car for it's price, the best 4x4 in this pice-segment you can get imho! Just a small critique would be the cheap quality of the Camping Equipment they rent, especially the stove and the dishes could be a bit more higher quality, they would also last longer then ;-) But would absolutely recommend the experience.

The car made it through the trip but unfortunately had 4 bald tires I didn’t catch on the initial inspection and when we accelerated would make a cranking sound. Otherwise a good car that handled itself well!

All good, staff was super friendly, no problems with the car, check in and out was fast. Special mention to the guy that check us in and out, and also drove us to the hotel, he was very nice. (Romanian guy, with long black hair.. can't remember the name😅). Just a couple of comments: On arrival we were not sure what to do, wait, go outside to look for the shuttle car..? We asked the guy at the counter and he told us that the drivers come to pick up people and that we should wait. It will be good to state this clearly somewhere (if it already is and we missed it, our bad). The car doors don't have a blocked position when opened, maybe this is to prevent them from being open and potentially damaged by the wind, but at the same time is quiet annoying when you are unloading your stuff because the door will close on you all the time. (Again, if there's a good reason for this, ignore the comment 🙂). Thanks!!

It was amazing to have that kind of freedom in Iceland. The rooftop tent worked great and my son enjoyed sleeping in it. We can highly recommend this service to others.

Unfortunately we could drive only 20km. After 20km the Motor did not start anyway. But the Service was very good, After 30minutes we got a new suzuki vitara and holidays could begin. 3 days later we had another Problem with the car, so we lost a wheel in the middle of nowhere in the West of Island. We could find the Wheel and the Support of the rental car helped us to find a Person repairing the car ( Person works together with the car firm). Therefore we got a new second car 150km wider, the hyundai Tucson. Till the end of our holidays the car was very comfortable. Nevertheless the car had a smaller watt of depths than the suzuki vitara, therefore we could not drive through bigger Rivers. But that happens. All in all i am very satisfied with the support but not with the condition of the Cars we got at first.

Our Dacia duster was a great fuel-efficient car to carry us through our journey in Iceland. The individuals at the rental agency were very kind and helpful with excellent customer service. The rooftop tent was surprisingly comfortable and handled the elements well. We especially appreciated that Northern Lights Car rental included a free airport transfer and the driver had a great sense of humor.
