This vehicle was just fine for my journey all around Iceland. It had several dents, etc all around. Rental agent took IPad photos and so did I, there were no issues with returning the vehicle in same condition. No tire issues, yeah! This vehicle is not intended for gravel roads as most small vehicles it rides low. It did not have backup camera, this model may not have had that option in 2015 Here's a couple of items that should be watched. The tire warning light was on after the 2nd day, I watched the tires carefully and there were no issues for 10 days of driving. The yellow check engine light also came on, this was concerning. A local car expert explained this happens and is not a concern. Maybe it needed an oil change?? Need more staff at pickup for both prompt airport shuttle & actual hand off of vehicle. The airport wait was VERY long & concerning at 8 AM on Mon. First : Very good drop off experience, I was concerned after the pickup experience. I arrived at 530 Mon. waited about 5 min and agent reviewed the return. emailed me paperwork. Put my suitcase in large van and soon a small group was delivered to airport by 6 ish. Pickup was also very long 30 min average for customer signing docs. plus time to review the vehicle. There were maybe 30 already people waiting when our shuttle arrived. I'm not sure total checkout time but in excess of 2 hours & maybe longer, had there been other agency vehicles available I'm sure most if not all of my shuttle would have canceled.

Renting a car through Northbound.is was easy and convenient. Website is with clear information about the rental cars. Communication was very well. Northbound may provide additional discount (which you may not get if booked directly at the rental company).

We were upgraded to an 2018. It was comfortable but the engine had no pickup- meaning, it struggled to get up hills. It was a bit smaller than our original rental. Overall, customer support before the trip was excellent. I had to adjust the day and time of our pickup, and it was handled very smoothly.

Our car was a bit of a beater - scratched and dented all over the place, and the plastic covering for the trunk latch had broken off, exposing the mechanism. Also, what we thought was a stain or hardened resin on the windshield. It was a little off putting. I'd paid nearly $100 a day on the most budget option, although I knew car rental prices had skyrocketed.. Still, it worked and we had no mechanical problems. The Aygo is a small and feeble budget car, so we stayed on the main roads and drove conservatively. Seats were also quite uncomfortable, but in the end it worked fine for us. The gas mileage was good, so we could save on gas. Check in was fine, but Blue has a system I'd never encountered, where they tell you to take photos of any damage, then can discuss afterwards. This was a bit strange - especially because, as mentioned, the car we got was damaged on multiple areas. So we took photos of everything we saw. I actually asked if they wanted to look with me, given all the damage, but the check in woman said no, it was fine, just take photos. The return experience was the worst I've ever had. I've rented dozens of cars over the years, and have never had a problem. When we returned the car, the woman at the desk did an inspection... And that stain we saw on the windshield turned out to be a rock chip. It had been there when we picked up the car, but then they claimed we had caused it and insisted on us paying about $544. Since we didn't realize it was damage, we hadn't taken a photo on pick up. Obviously, since this wasn't out fault, we argued. It turns out they themselves never noticed or documented the broken trunk, so had to admit they hadn't done a thorough job themselves, and we didn't end up paying. I'm not sure if they were trying to scam us, or if they were careless, but either way Blue car rental is terrible, and I will never deal with them again if given the choice. They have a predatory business model where they try to find undocumented damage afterwards and charge massive fees - see other reviews on tripadvisor.

Worst rental experience ever. Picked up the car on Friday July 30. Started to drive the Golden Circle at 2:00 PM. Car broke down at Laugarvatn at 17:30. Called 24/7 service number. They said they needed permission from NordicCarRental to do anything. Repeatedly called and emailed NordicCarRental. No response. Ending up staying in a local guesthouse which was within walking distance. NordicCarRental did not call us until 11:30 on July 31-18 hours later. By that time we had arranged a Taxi to Reykjavik which cost $375. We had to rent another car from another company, and because it was last minute ended up spending $4000 for two weeks. No apology for NordicCarRental. I would give them minus stars if I could.

All good, a value car that proved reliable and big enough for what we needed. Being able to rent extra camping things was rely helpful. The kitchen kit was brilliant with everything we needed. Easy pick up and drop off.

We had a wonderful experience! The camper was exactly as expected, and we had no problems with it during the entire two week trip. If you are looking for something simple and cheap, this is the way to go. Just be aware that it has no heater, so might not be good for winter camping.

The 2020 Land Cruiser GX was Awesome and performed well including on a few moderate F-road adventures. It was in great shape with less than 10,000 km when we started and ran well for us. With the Rocketbox we had room for 5 adults for 12 days around the Ring Road. Northbound was great to work with!!

Overall OK but the car had a few issues, notably: - The glass wipers were making the glass more foggy then else, we had to change them on the way (Norther Lights reimbursed us); - One of the car's lights stopped working halfway through; and - In general, the car seemed to be struggling in upwards slopes - not sure whether there is a problem with the engine, but it seemed to be a possibility. Assistance by Northern Lights was nevertheless good and the company was always responsive and helpful.

We rented a 4x4 for 5 weeks at a good price and had an excellent time in Island. The Dacia Duster Manual was a good choice. Star Car Rental is a reliable company, friendly and helpful and we can recommend them to everyone.

They organized a shuttle from the airport to their office. The welcome briefing was done professionally. A lot of information is provided by means of a tablet you get to accompany you during your trip. The tablet contains a navigation system, informative videos, weather and road info, and a video explaining how all the stuff in the campervan works. The VW Transporter 4x4 was reliable and pleasant to drive and took us without problems where we wanted to go. We slept comfortably in the van (bed linen was provided). The fridge, the watertank and the heating made life much easier.

The reservation process was very smooth. Any questions or requests were answered and resolved in a timely manner. Communication was excellent, and helpful information was provided to help make the trip more enjoyable. The first vehicle offered had an issue, but another vehicle was provided in a timely manner. The small camper was easy to drive, and able to travel anywhere with ease. The total experience was excellent, and I would not hesitate to repeat the experience.

I read a lot of reviews of car rental companies in Iceland before selecting Northbound and MyCar. The online experience of renting the car, a 2021 RAV4, was very smooth, and the folks at MyCar responded quickly to my emails. When we arrived in Iceland, a MyCar van picked us up at the airport and took us to the nearby MyCar office. The process of finalizing the rental and receiving the car was quick, the MyCar staff were very friendly, and we were soon on our way. We had the car for nine days and drove completely around Iceland on the Ring Road, with many side trips. The car performed great and the GPS system got us to all of the places we wanted to visit. Turn-in of the car at the end of the trip was also very smooth and we were soon transported to the airport for our early morning departure. All in all, it was a great experience.

24 hour customer service to and from the airport was excellent after having my flight delayed until late, great and friendly customer service. Wide vehicle selections with understanding of what vehicles you'll need based off you the experience you want in Iceland. Vehicle was clean and ran well as you would expect!

The 2019 upgrade from the 2017 Dacia was not at all worth it the extra costs, especially since the newer models do not have cruise control. We also found out that you cannot extend any rental very easily so you need to really book the exact hours ahead of time.
