    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

    I took a premium insurance withe the car.
    Made me feel sure and took away a bit some stress about possible extra costs when returning.
    A got the car at the headoffice in Reykjavik. Had to take the bus and walk 15 min to get there. I had gps but cause of a whole lot of constructions going on on the streets I had to pass, I was in doubt I was going the right way and had to call the agency to confirm I was going the right way. This was a bit stressfull, a note on the website would have helped me out better. Also i missed info on the site on how to get there with public transport. But I guess most people pick up the car at the airport, so they don’t have to worry about this. Car was great, service when I returned the car was fine aswell. So i am a happy customer!

    We are really happy ! We ordered a Suzuki Jimny, but as it is windy in the winter time, the team gave us a Nissan Qashqai, because the Jimny would have been too dangerous. We did not have to pay anythnig more. The team provided us good advice for the insurance, as we did not take any on the internet. They did not try at any moment to oversell a useless insurance. The team explained us how to reach our destination by the best way, and they gave us information to drive safely around Iceland. When we returned the car, it was stressfull but as we did not hurt the Qashqai, they did not charge anything. They did not try to make us pay for nothing.

    Highly recommended company! We were at a lost on which rental company to choose since the reviews from other companies weren't that good. so, we decided to walk around the area and got lucky talking with the guys from Reykjavik Rent a Car. Since we are a group of 7 and the only car they can give us is the 11-seater Starex, they advised us to look for another since it would be a bit expensive for us. But we decided to just get the van and they were nice about it. will rent from them again if ever we come back to Iceland!

    These guys were great. Very good communication, seamless drop-off (of car) at our hotel, friendly. Our Dacia Duster was literally brand-new- something like 30KM on it- and it was great. I was a little sad to some home and have to drive my car.
