From Tripadvisor:
Car rental in Iceland is fraught with some uncertainty these days especially after unflattering reports (see Trip Advisor archives) suggesting misconduct of a major car rental company.
After doing some research and taking input from regional experts here (thanks Icelandic guide and Frozen Baz!), I settled on Reykjavík Rent A Car, a local company. My requirements were a 4WD for 3 weeks. I signed on to almost every available extra: SCDW Insurance, Gravel Protection Insurance, Extra Driver, GPS Navigation, Mobile Phone).
The Hyundai Tucson 4WD was delivered as promised to my hotel at the appointed time. After 3 weeks it was picked up from my hotel.
Reservation and all communication before and during our rental period was prompt.
A couple of days before the original rental period was to end, I decided that we needed the car for an extra day, and accordingly asked Reykjavík Rent A Car to extend the contract by a day. The contract was extended and Reykjavík Rent A Car gave me the extra day FREE. That is truly outstanding customer service.
The mobile phone given to us has a starter talk time worth 1000 ISK and we did not exhaust it (for international calls we used Skype via our computer).
I have every intention of booking Reykjavík Rent A Car for our visit again to Iceland next year.

Upon arrival, need to wait 20mins to pick up. We arrived 15mins before the pick up time, then we need to wait until the pick up time. Someone arrived an hour in advance and then he needed to wait an hour! When we get the car, everything ok. However, once we driven away, we got the msg from the display board that the sensor for the tire pressure was not registered...then we deove back to rental car office. The staff check all tire pressure normal, and asked us to drive again and claimed that it would become normal after certain distance. We followed his instructions and drove away for few km but there was the same displace....then we drove back to the office again!! Finally we spent an extra hour to try to fix this problem but the problem was not fixed! The staff recommended us to continuously use this car, the car had no problem, the display would change after certain distance of movement. But finally, the display board became normal after 1 day.....so unsecured!!

Overall it was very good. The younger man we saw at check in and also on return was very pleasant - the other man looked a bit grim so we were happy we got the good one. It was very busy at both pick up and return, and the chap did a great job of getting clients through the system, but they really need an extra person in busy times. Car was very good, very clean inside, not so on the outside but in winter that is understandable. Not a specific issue with you, but I wish the industry would sort out this insurance issue - all cars should have all insurance included as standard. This continually trying to sell extra insurance is very annoying and should stop.

From Tripadvisor:
This car rental company is OUTSTANDING. They reply to emails within hours, answer the phone and go that extra mile to give a personal service when your requirements are a little beyond the norm. AND they are very, very good value.
I usually hate dealing with car rental companies - these are the good guys in the business. No hidden extras and a nice person who answers your call and knows your name.

The car rental went smoothly. The service was very friendly. The car was clean and relatively new (20 000 km) and gave no trouble. We would use this company again.
