Car Rentals in Iceland

It would be a more pleasant experience if it were more prominent that we actually rent the car from a 3rd party. I must have misunderstood it so we had some stressful time at the airport upon arrival. After a callback from the company everything went smooth though so can't complain. Nice tips through the rental process, taking the 4x4 + insurance really saved us some trouble due to the snowy roads.

Everything went well as agreed. We did whole ring road in March 2024. Went through sun, rain and snow without problem. Car is equipped with winter tires with spikes. Great service, everyting on time. All recommendations!

Great car, met every need and held up perfectly in all conditions. Slightly expensive, expecially since I had to get full insurance due to you guys needing a credit card, which I didn't have.

Amazing company, far better than your mainstream ones. Everything was quick and simple and staff were really helpful

The van given to us was a Fiat Doblo Maxi instead of Renault Kangoo we ordered. Didn't let us know why the change. I didn't choose the Fiat cause of the way you get it sleeping area was too high. Didn't gave an option to upgrade. The Van has a few issues, but because of our tight schedule we continue use it as there was no breakdown. 1. The right passenger door was already damaged, making loud noise when opening. The door has no detent to hold it, making it easily open by light winds. 2. After using the van for 2 days, engine light on. 3. The steering is alignment off. When in straight position the van will move slightly to the left. Pick and drop off was excellent. 1 thing i like about Northbound, is their customer support is the best. 2 thumbs up for Harpa, assisting me all the way. Even though, there's some bitterness from Rent.is, i wouldn't blame it on Northbound.

We liked pickup and return service from the airport. Very convenient given horrendous taxi rates in Iceland. Good car and exceptional value for money. Can recommend.

Very positive - A transparent offer, new and guaranteed car model, vehicle pick-up and return adjusted to the flight plan, efficient customer service.

We are unable to comment as we were not given this car we were given a Mazda CX-5. We requested and accepted a quote for a 4 x 4, I do not believe this car was an AWD either. We specifically asked for a 4 x 4.

We were given a new Mistsubishi Eclipse as an upgraded car since the Suzuji Vitara was not available anymore at Lava Car rental, quite good!

Excellent car, comfortable - ideal for the ring road trip. It was also great having a Wifi connection in the car.

We enjoyed it, had decent gas mileage for an SUV size vehicle, was comfortable, clean and spacious. 4 wheel drive was a little difficult to get to work without very clear instructions, that we had to google. The sensors for the adaptive cruise control (collision alert system) might need to be checked, there were multiple times that they went out while driving, this could have been due to weather however.

I got another car and that was very nice.

Yes it was absolutely perfect, under every point of view. Efficient, not too big, not too small, good engine, clean and easy to drive. Simply perfect for me and my daughter

We were instead given a Hyundai Tucson. Great car and the service including pickup and drop off with Go Iceland was my best hire car experience to date. Thank you Northbound and Go Iceland!

Car was great, no complaints! Service renting it out and return was fast and smooth.

Well equipped car, with heated seats very useful for the cold climate of Iceland. Stable even in strong winds and very comfortable. We had a good time with Lava Car Rental, very kind and very helpful staff.

This car was perfect for our trip. There were two of us traveling and it easily fit our two suit cases, two duffel bags, and two backpacks for an end of winter trip. It was very easy to drive and we had no issues with it at all. The fuel economy was excellent! We spent less than 35000 isk for diesel for the entire 8 days and trip around the ring road, plus some side trips.
