Welcome to Northbound!


At Northbound, our team works together to create an affordable, simple, and convenient way to rent a car in Iceland. Our top priority is to provide quality service and an exceptional traveler experience, leaving a lasting impression on our valued customers.

Our History

Founded in Iceland in 2015, Northbound is the brainchild of our two co-founders, Arnar and Ivar. With their great friendship, they set out to make a positive impact on the Icelandic travel industry by prioritizing customer care and creating a trustworthy and transparent car rental experience.

Over the years we have grown into one of the most popular booking platforms in Iceland and are proud of being in partnership with both Iceland's local & leading car rentals.

Our Mission

Our mission is to offer the lowest prices and a straightforward, honest car rental booking experience to our customers.

Our quality control process is twofold, focusing on selecting our partners and addressing any issues that may arise. We pay close attention to reviews and online discussions from you, our valued visitors. By listening to what people have to say about our potential partners, we can make informed decisions about whether to establish a partnership or not.

Additionally, we use this valuable feedback to identify and resolve any concerns that emerge in each review, ensuring a consistently high level of service.

We are not aiming to be the biggest, but rather, we strive to be the best.

  • Be precise and transparent in our communication
