Car Rentals in Iceland

Good car, no problems driving around the island. Plenty of space, rooftent was great and the seat heating was a big plus after a cold night. The only downside was that because the car was fueled with diesel, something with the filter was not right and the cruise control didn't work almost the whole journey. But other than that, everything was great. Booking through northbound was very easy and pleasant. Would recommend!

Awesome experience! 5 stars without a doubt! Received a Dacia Dokker in great condition, well equipped for camping. The staff is nice, supplied us with extra blankets and few more surprising (free extra day, pillows, lift to a local pub after returning the car). Getting & returning the car was really plesant. Recommended!

Northbound is a very reliable company. I have enjoyed its prompt and friendly service with excellent car condition. Toyota RAV4 is sturdy in dynamic Icelandic weather and very responsive to challenging road conditions. It has strong horsepower and an excellent break to drive uphill and snake roads very safely. Without the reliable service of Northbound and Toyota RAV4, My 17 days of Ring Road journey would have been miserable. Northbound and Toyota RAV4 will be my choice again in the next Iceland trip.

It was the right car for what we needed. Great on gas, easy to drive and roomy enough for two not so tall people.

We waited 1.5h to pick up the car because only one person was processing pick-ups and returns. The pair ahead of us had their car changed 2 times because of the car condition (ignition issue / one side of the car crashed and stop light not working) and someone calling for assistance due to technical issue was told to wait until next day for resolution. We took Nissan Xtrail which was advertised as 7 people, 3 bags, but actually with 7 seats occupied you can barely fit 1 suitcase (6th and 7th seat come at the expense of trunk space). Otherwise, no issue with the car or return. On the plus side, you get a discount with a gas station chain with a large footprint across the island

Rather good

Our Kia Ceed was excellent for our trip around the Ring Road. The pick up from the airport and transfer back (at 4am!) all went smoothly. The car was in great condition and really clean.

I had a very nice experience with MyCar. I got the same car as the one I booked and it had an excellent fuel consumption (~4.2l/100km for the 2021 Toyota Yaris Hybrid Automatic). MyCar stuff were very friendly and responded to my emails very quickly. I would definitely recommend MyCar to anyone who wants to rent a car in Iceland.

Hi, Car was absolute ok and in clean condition. Handover was delayed by 45 minutes, circumstances would have been avoidable. On the other side drop of the car at Asbru-Hotel very convenient. A short introduction the Landcruiser would have been nice, but we found everthing. GPS is terrible, no F-roads, very bad addresses, so nearly impossible to enter the target adress, always a work around. Tires with very low profil, not good in the sandy passages on the F-road near Askia. But so summerize: everthing ok with some room for improvement.

Everything was OK. Car was in good condition, quick and easy administrative handling

We are very satisfied! The car was great, the entire transaction uncomplicated and the service immediately available in case of queries. We would book a car with Northbound or MyCar again at any time.

I loved this vehicle. For the mostpart I lived out of it for two weeks, driving many F-Roads and tracks, while hiking, backpacking, and camping. This was the perfect vehicle for these purposes. I was sad to give it back.

The experience and the service was awesome, clearly I will recommend Star Car Rental.

Our experience with northbound and Lava cars has been perfect. The airport pickup was prompt and after a very short drive (less than 5 minutes) to the car rental site, the Lava team were very helpful. The staff were friendly and gave us a very warm welcome to Iceland. The car itself was spacious and well-equipped, with all of the kitchen utensils that we needed to make 3 meals a day easily. Though we brought a small bottle of washing up liquid with us (as previous reviews mentioned that this was not provided by Lava), all campsites have this on site so it wasn't necessary. The Lava team checked in with us during our trip to offer helpful advice about safe travel around Iceland. The return was also very convieniant for us. Since our flight was very early, we returned our car directly to the airport, where staff picked it up from. I would highly recommend this company!

We liked the car. No issues. Prior to the trip, your customer service was excellent. I made a couple of changes to the reservation, and you got back to me right away. Thanks for that. My only complaint was the pick-up shuttle from the airport when we arrived. We had reservations for the 7:20 shuttle. Driver came in around that time and said "someone will be here in a couple of minutes". A couple of minutes stretched out to at least 20 min. And then when he came back and found us and another couple, he only had 3 seats for 4 people because there was also a large family group, so the other couple had to wait some more. It would have been more helpful if the first driver had said it would be 20 minutes. Then our expectations would have been set accordingly and we wouldn't have been standing there looking for someone the whole time. And then the rental desk was very slow also. There was 1 person ahead of us, and it took at least 15-20 min for our turn. The good news is that the return (14:00) went much more smoothly and the shuttle took us back to the airport at the promised time. Thanks for that.

The Camper was not in the best conditions: - heater was not working properly, only went one night - the lock of the camper also went wrong given a failure of the lateral door sensor so we could not lock the Van until we got to know the problem. - we report all problems to the office LAVA, but the only solution was to offer a different places of mechanic which were not close to were we stayed at that moment, were in HELLA (we were going to be there the day after) we had different stories upon how it was going to be solved. Not a good response from you. - camper conditions in general were not the best, we even found a mask from other person when we got in. We had to solve things by ourselves, and adapt to the conditions in order to not stop our route. But not happy, without solutions.

Nice car, big enough for the group, comfortable, great communication with you and also good support from the car hire company. Thank you.

At the beginning of the year I started looking for a rental car for our Iceland trip. On your website I finally found what I was looking for. Appealing to me was the price-performance ratio. We were not disappointed. After landing in Reykiavik, one of your employees picked us up at the airport. The rental car a Dacia Duster from 2017 with four-wheel drive made a very good impression. Thanks to the all-wheel drive, we were able to drive on all slopes and off-road trails. We were very satisfied with the rented car.

We were received at the airport with smiles and greetings by a representative from Lava rentals. Soon we arrived at Lava office were the staff handed over the keys to our camper and on demand (with extras) gave us wifi device for our 7 day trip. The vehicle was extensively used, yet in good shape and cleaned just before we rented it. Technically we had no issues with the car, person at the desk gave us an overview of the car, sleeping, water tank, cooler and heating system. Vessels and cutlery was sufficient, though I would have liked a bit more equipment like a can opener and a set of paper rolls to start the trip. On the whole, I would recommend renting it through Northbound and in particular Lava car rental. As always, I would like to put forth some constructive remarks. It might be useful to upgrade cars (mileage on this one was inching closer to 100,000 Kms), additionally, since it rains and is mostly windy in Iceland, might be worthwhile to explore an extendable plan on the rear of the car and a retractable roof cover in the back to help cook on a windy and rainy day. To be honest, it would be a luxury to have such a setup, not a must have though. We managed to cook inside the car on the wooden plank provided, works like a charm. Just go ahead and rent a small camper through Northbound for the best rates and also Lava car rental for a great experience.

Great car, super performance on the F-roads

It's a quite basic car inside and under the hood, but it was a reasonable price so it was fair value for money. The engine is underpowered but, given the low speed limits in Iceland, it was only tested on hills so we just changed down a gear or two and it was fine. The car was very clean, and had an excellent spare tyre which we had to put to good use so were very grateful for. There wasn't anyone to meet us at the airport, so we had to call for our ride which was a little frustrating at the time, but the return process and subsequent transport to the airport were very speedy by contrast.

Northbound reserved a rental car for us using Fara Rental Car. The process was efficient to the extreme. We were promptly picked up by Fara when we arrived. The gentlemen at Fara were extremely professional and friendly and provided us the perfect car for our journey (1,200 km across Iceland). The car worked great. Extremely positive customer services all the way around - great work, Fara & Northbound!
