"Wonderful experience renting thru Northbound. The whole experience was flawless. Shuttle was already at the airport waiting for us. The pick-up location is around 10 minutes away from the airport and it took us 5 minutes picking the vehicle up."

My overall rental exp was great. Learned abt Northbound from a youtube travel blogger and it was super helpful. I liked 1) the ability to filter by car features. For iceland we were looking for 4 wheel driving that’s permitted for f roads. I check...ed out all other major rental car companies it wasnt as easy to filter but on northbound it even showed sub category of F roads (regular and with water), it was so helpful and saved me time 2) i also like how it aggregated all options from different companies. Easy one strop shop for me My exp with the final rental company Ring was good too!
Perfect!

Rented a 4x4 in Jul 2024

Northbound and Star were amazing to work with for my campervan rental. Not only did they get me the cheapest price BY FAR for my vehicle, but I emailed numerous times and they promptly replied every time. They even price matched and gave me a refund... of the difference when I found the same vehicle for cheaper a few days before my scheduled pickup. Cannot recommend highly enough!!
Perfect!

Rented a camper in Jul 2024

We Loved this camper. We’re on the older side (just turned 40), my husband is over 2 meters (6’ 2”+), and I have back issues, but we were comfortable and cozy and still feel great after spending several nights in this campervan! It was also so conven...ient - we saw all of the major points on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in *One Day* because we were able to cook food on the way and pick a campsite on the fly. 10/10 - will rent again. Because after a day in the van we started making plans for another, much longer trip.
Outstanding!
