    From Tripadvisor:

    I went to Iceland 2 weeks ago. Encouraged by good reviews I’ve chosen Reykjavik Rent a Car and I have to say, the reviews are true. They offer great service, not one of these companies that rip you off at car return. The company is run by young, sympathy folks. The prices they offer are not expensive, comparing to other car rentals - slightly higher then 'budget car rentals', but it is worth to spend a few more pennies and pick a rental house that will not charge you a load for a midget scratch.
    The rental house is located approx. 300m from the airport terminal. It is not far, but Icelandic weather conditions are sometimes demanding. The weather was really bad as we landed, so they picked us up and drove us to the office. At the return, they also offered a lift to the terminal, but the weather was nice so we walked. I think this gives an overall look how nice these guys are ;-)
    If I ever come again to Iceland I will chose this company again for sure!

    I have used this company three times. I have just booked for a fourth. I travel and hire cars a lot and NOWHERE in the world have a received such a good service. I emailed them yesterday with an email enquiry - this was a Sunday night and within an hour they had replied. Their cars are new, spotlessly maintained and they deliver on time and there is never any hassle. One year I had an unusual set of circumstances regarding pick-up and they worked hard to ensure everything ran smoothly. If you email you get a reply from someone who makes you feel like a valued customer.

    From Google reviews:

    Just came back from my road trip in Iceland two days ago. My car rental experience was smooth. Before the trip I reserved a VW Polo online, upon arrival I was given a Hyundai I20 with mileage over 122K, there were quite a few scratches here and there on the body and one fairly large stone chip on the windshield. I chose the Platinum insurance coverage for the peace of mind. The tiny car rode well, no issues, good on gas. Will use this company again for sure.

    Iceland by car? Great choice! You can stop where ever you want and observe this amazing nature, it is easy to travel, easy to cook and cheaper than lodges. And more comfortable than tent. Believe me, weather is changing all the time.

    Would give 5 star if you could rent with 0 excess for smaller fee. Then you wouldn't have to check the car before and after.
