    We had a great experience renting through Reykavik Rent a Car. Booking online was easy, fast, and far and away the most affordable option. When we arrived at the airport, there location was easy to find and there was relatively no wait. The gentleman who helped us was thorough with expectations and gave us a very useful rundown of how to stay safe ont he roads and what weather and travel websites to use. We had not considered GPS to get around, and he advised us on all of our options. We ended up going with portable Wifi to use google maps on our phones, which we were VERY happy with. The car was in great condition and was exactly as described. We never felt unsafe or questioned the cars maintenance or upkeep. Iceland is known for having difficult driving conditions, and we never felt like we were unprepared. Checking back in was fast and very easy. The car was pretty dirty (again, Iceland driving) and we weren't charged for anything. Simple, safe, and user friendly. We would book through them again for sure.

    Rented a car for 9 days. No problem at all!! On the website it was a Hyundai Tucson and in reality we got a Ford Kuga which in my opinion was a better deal then the Tucson. The car was practically as new, clean, with lots of features (not necessarily needed for what we had in mind thou). Initially we needed a full 4x4 car, but there was none available as we decided to go to Iceland on the last moment. However 4WD Kuga proved a reliable car on easier F roads. We even try it on a harder F road, but only by knowing we had the skills to do so without damaging the car in any way. Still, I would advice caution regarding the type of car you would need for F roads. For example, a 4WD will not drive itself or without consequences on harder trails if you don't have the skills and the caution not to damage the car and/or not to put yourself in danger in the process. Know your limits as driver, check road.is and vedur.is constantly, ask the locals/rangers/guides you meet abou

    Picking up the car was smooth and straight forward. We arrived half an hour early for our Toyota Rav 4 but got given a Ford Kuga. I assume they ran out of our chosen vehicle, but the replacement was still great on our road trip! Dropping off the car was simple too. Reception only asked 3 questions and handed over the keys and the transaction was complete. Will use the company again in my next trip.
