    Just wanted to add to this stream of replies. My family and I, a total of 4 just got back from Iceland. We rented a a 4x4 Dacia Duster from Reykjavik Rent a car so that we could tour the country for about a week, (which we did, 2800 kilometres in fact). From the moment we got our bags and went outside they had their rep waiting there with my name on a clip board. The young man was very friendly and took us over to their rental office about a 2-minute drive from the airport. There he just took a copy of my Driver's License and card we used to make the booking. After which we went outside, we looked at the car, did a quick inspection, and he gave us some tips about the vehicle. After that we were on our merry way! That simple. No BS, no added fees, no hidden fees. Straight forward. They were very easy to deal with. We toured the country as mentioned above about 2800 km's and never once had a break down or any issues with the car. They gave us the car with a full tank which was nice, because the last thing you want to do after an 8-hr flight is stop and get gas. I have nothing but good things to say about this company, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone renting a car in Iceland. I don't know how their prices compare to others but I felt we got a good deal for a week's worth of travel in a nice safe 4x4. As mentioned in other replies their general manager Kristjan never sleeps! He answers emails often within an hour or two tops, and was very helpful and nice to deal with. So, save yourself the headache and just deal with the best. These guys will have my return business when my wife and I plan to go back to Iceland this winter.

    Only positive experience for Reykjavik Rent A Car company. It was such a delight to have chosen them for our Iceland trip. Online reservation and email exchanges were smooth prior our arrival. Their branch at KEF Airport is easy to locate. The process went smooth and fast. Thanks to the accommodating staff, he's from our own country (Philippines) surprisingly! He explained a few provisions and gave out tips as well. We rented out a Ford Kuga for 9 days and also availed a platinum insurance. The SUV was ready, fueled up, and nicely presented. Alternatively, returning the car went smoothly as well. Did not even take 10mins! Highly recommended car rental company.

    This is quite possibly the best car rental company I have ever had the privilege of using, I have rented cars in Spain, Lithuania, Italy, Portugal, and the united states, but none of them come close to Reykjavik rent a car, the people there are lovely, the cars are great, they give good advice and maps and I really can't say enough good things about them, I can’t wait to go back to Iceland, and I will most definitely be renting with them again, :)

    Staff at the car renting office were very friendly, helpful and easy going. Big thanks to them.

    One a little bit disappointing thing was that the car windshield cleaning liquid was gone and in general windshield wipers were worn out, that made driving more difficult. But the rest with the car was really fine.

    Thanks for you!
