    From Tripadvisor:

    First time in Iceland and I read many very negative forum posts about car rental in this country. It was strongly advised not to book any international rent a car companies like Avis, hertz, etc... As many people got charged for damages to the car after getting back to their countries and no possibility to make any claims.
    So I was a bit afraid about car rental in Iceland.
    I decided to follow the forums recommendation and I picked up Reykjavik rent a car because it was a local company, and it was definitely cheap.
    I've rented a Suzuki Jimmy for 7 days. The car was clean, 47000kms mileage, very good condition.
    The staff was very friendly and helped me sorting out an issue from my side during the booking process.
    They explained me their company policy towards damages and vehicle return.
    It was very clear and I have appreciated a lot that they trust customers. No car inspection at checkout!
    I strongly recommend using RRC because of their very competitive prices and their customer-trust policy!
    Will definitely rent again with them next time I come to Iceland

    We rented a Hyundai i30 and the car was very clean and neat (had less than 4k km on). The pick-up and drop-off was really quick and effortless. They also do not charge a deposit (holding amount) to our credit card which is great. I did take the platinum insurance option and stuck to the paved roads and would recommend others to also consider it. Some of the paved roads actually have a lot of loose stones on it. The fuel discount tag was also quite nice. I would definitely use them again when I'm in Iceland. Thanks for the great service!

    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.

    I got a Nissan Pulsar to get me to Thingvellir and Kerið and around Reykjavík the car worked excellently. Easy to get to from the airport and the staff was very friendly late at night.

    Best car rental company I have ever dealt with. Excellent customer service and the car was exactly what we needed. Wouldn't use anyone side if I'm lucky enough to return to Iceland.
