"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."

Outstanding customer service from start to finish. Unfortunately we had a puncture but the regular support and help from George was superb. Finding several garages on our route to repair the tyre and being available both quickly and out of hours. Th...ank you George. I wouldn’t use anyone else other than Northbound for car hire in Iceland
Perfect!

Rented a 4x4 in Oct 2023

Best rental experiance. I always hire a car when I travel and this has been the easiest I have ever done. For the first time the process for renting is exactly what is said on the website there was no hidden terms and both northbound and star was alw...ays avaliable if I needed them. The price was more that fair. Star car rental service was brilliant straight collection and within 10 min we was on our way in our car with all the information we needed l. The staff were of great assistance and the car provided was in great condition. I can honesty say this is my first positive review of a car rental because it is the first time I got what I paid for. When I re visit iceland this will be my first choice for a car.
Outstanding!

Rented a 4x4 in Oct 2023

Everything was perfect since the moment the booking was done. I received an email explaining everything I need to know to pick up the car and return it. We got a delay in our flight and when we got to Keflavik airport couldn't find nobody waiting... for us but it was solved phoning the contact number I received in the email and the guy popped up within a minute! Every guy from Ring had been really nice and they are on WhatsApp to assist in anything you need. At our return we phoned them to ask to please be ready to take on a quick ride to the airport and everything was nicely done! I will recommend northbound and ring to everyone!
Perfect!

My experience with northbound was great! It was a very easy check-in process. The staff was friendly and helpful. The vehicle itself was in great condition and ran wonderfully! The checkout process was easy and seemless. Thank you!
Fantastic!

I originally went through northbound as a third party supplier for campeasy as they let you put down a deposit and pay the rest at a later date. I could not be happier with this company and will 100% chose them again. CampEasy was also an excellent c...ompany to work with, the van was comfortable, cozy and was perfect for our 2 weeks in Iceland. Customer service from northbound I cannot fault, they literally replied to any email or request within minutes.
Perfect!
