Car Rentals in Iceland

Greta car for Iceland! Needed a wheel alignment but other than that was perfect for a round the country trip!

Everything was perfect, like in the description.

The car was very good. The pick-up was also very good. Northbound (Star Car Rental) is highly recommended.

old car , but clean. *locks didn't lock (at night), while driving open and closes sometimes *car used lots of oil (13 liters / 2500 km , normal is 1 liter/10000km), i had to buy extra oil on the road, and waiting to get a refund for this 3000isk *not al the mentioned kitchensupplies were there (cuttingboard, glasses,...) *car was dented everywhere and missing pieces , windscreen was sandblasted and was difficult to clean

Everything went well actually, the car was good, the service was good

I loved my campervan!!! So easy to use, super comfy bed, great gas mileage!!

Excellent experience with the car. It would have been helpful having some more explanation on the use of 4w block on the roads and please check wipers of car before renting because it is very important for a safe journey.

Communications was really good. Had to wait an hour for the car to be ready (cleaning) and some issues with getting things to work. It would have helped if there was a manual for the basics like heating and the cooler. Also heads up how difficult it is to get the tank filled unless you have a pin code for your credit card. Heater barely worked, windshield fluid system did not work neither did the USB for the WiFi. I would think a Monoxide detector should be mandatory it was a bit worry some with a questionable heating system. With all that said the car was actually a really good runner.

Thank you Northbound and My Car. We had a great car rental experience from start to finish. The vehicle was clean and exactly as described when booked. Well done!

Although it wasn't a brand new car, it was good for our trip. A little bit dirty inside the car at the pick up. With little more care about details it would have been perfect.

Perfect car for a family camping road trip! The car has a lot of room in the trunk and is very sturdy. The car was like new (6000km), and very clean. Nice your staff that work at MyCar. Highly recommended!

Process was easy.

El servicio de pickup en el aeropuerto fue correcto. Nos recogieron a la 1AM. El coche Dacia Duster 4x4 tenía muchos kilómetros (200000) pero no tuvimos ningún problema con él y pudimos hacer todas las rutas por las carreteras de montaña islandesas. Nos pareció excesivo un bloqueo en tarjeta de 350000 ISK (más de 2500 euros) durante 2 semanas . No sabíamos que la cantidad era tan alta, tuvimos que usar 2 tarjetas diferentes porque las nuestras no permitían pagos de más de 2000 euros. Hemos realizado otros alquileres en Islandia (camper y motorhome) y no nos han bloqueado nada en la tarjeta. Quizás deberían revisar ese tema, nosotros llevábamos un seguro adicional para cubrir los 350000 de franquicia.

Our rental experience with Camping Cars was great! Their service was top notch. I did have to borrow someone's cell phone to call them for pick-up upon our arrival, as they did not reply to the e-mail i sent upon landing... but the staff was very kind and accommodating! We were concerned about the battery upon receiving the rental and they took the time to put a brand new one in before sending us off. The rooftop tent was very comfortable and convenient! Just be aware of any wind storms that may be coming thru... it gets too loud to sleep if the winds get heavy. Would rent from Camping Cars again!

Everything was great: the car was in good condition, with everything we needed and the Affordable Camper’s guys are really kind and helpful.

Really nice little van with plenty of space for 2 adults, the pictures don't do it's justice, as there were space to pull down a table, heater and indoor lights, which was a nice surprise Kuku were very friendly, and gave us good tips for our journey! Also, remember to take pictures of your van before travelling and be thorough when checking the van for damage! You have to note down any issues of the van before you use it, and we didn't see some of the scratches it had, so we hadn't noted them down. Luckily our pictures showed the damages were before our rental :) There's also a table to share food and other things, which people can take feely from, really nice!

it is a nice car

Northbound was excellent! My interaction with customer service over a communication problem was resolved quickly and in a friendly way. I love that they aggregate Iceland-owned companies. The Nissan NV200 was fine, but the configuration with the fold-down couch and refrigerator on the side is tight for 2 average people to sleep comfortably. I CANNOT recommend Lava Car Rental. Their customer service is indifferent and their transfer driver surly. The camping equipment is crap (all the lowest-grade IKEA) and not maintained between rentals, so I got a broken camp chair, a moldy camp chair, a dirty dish box, the table was super-flimsy, the 6” frying pan was not only too small but falling apart, a dull paring “knife,” and a sleeping bag with a broken zipper. The inside of the camper wasn’t very clean; I found an old sleeping kit bag behind the seat with dead bugs in it and there was dried mud splashed on the inside of the doors. The “curtains” were just scissor-cut strips of fabric with raw edges and no tie-backs. I looked at other campers’ kit from many other rental companies during my 3 weeks out, and nobody had such poorly chosen and maintained kit as Lava. Low price but poor service and product, so not a good value overall.

Start of the rent was really bad. We had to wait at the Airport and only one of us was allowed to go to the rental office. We received a 2016 Dacia instead of 2017 (this was compensated by a day free rental). There was no WiFi and GPS so we needed to drive back to the rental office. Then the tire pressure notification started to burn. Back again and then they said to ignore this. After this start it went better. The car was old and bumpy but brought us everywhere we wanted. The return of the car was very friendly and accurate.

The 2016 Dokker was adequate for our needs but was certainly on the lower end of quality. The sleeping area was a plywood platform with thin patio furniture cushions. The electric heater was built to face a small compartment underneath the sleeping platform so it only heated up a tiny space instead of the entire van. The camping gas was nearly empty although the booking stated it included an extra full canister. The staff at Nordic were not going to give us blankets or a "camping box" (dishes, utensils, fuel/burner) until we showed them our booking which listed these as included. Service at Nordic was chaotic and people were reporting about a 2-hour wait time to pick up their vehicles when we were there. If booking a vehicle from Nordic, screenshot everything to be included at the time of booking because this information is not available in any of the receipts after booking! Northbound, the service that we booked through, was very easy to deal with when we had to make a couple of changes. We asked to add an extra day to our booking and the Northbound agent spent all morning trying to reach Nordic with no success, so we appreciated that we went through Northbound rather than dealing directly with the rental company. I would book through Northbound in the future but would avoid Nordic and choose another of the companies they deal with.

Very good car (large enough to accommodante 5 pax). Very good services with quick check in and check out procedures

My wife and I had an EXCELLENT experience renting a 4x4 from Northbound for our 10 year anniversary trip this past week. Customer service was unparalleled. We’ve never had such a positive experience renting a car.

This car was great for our week driving around Iceland. Loved that it was a hybrid and more fuel efficient. The trunk was bigger than I expected it to be and actually fit a very large suitcase and another bag.
