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!!

From Google reviews:
We rented a car from "Reykjavik rent a car" for 6 days at the beggining of October. The renting process on their website was easy and clear. We arrived late at night and had no problem taking the car, their office is open 24h and a bus will take you there from the Arrivals in about 3 minutes. We rented a Hyundai Tucson and received a Ford Kuga, which was also okay. The car was clean and in a very good condition. The car did not have winter tyres (they said it was mandatory from 15 October) and we had to come back the next morning to put some, because it was snowing in some areas of the country. However changing tyres was about 20 min and we had no extra cost. They also kept us informed regarding the road conditions by sending emails during our stay. Returning the car was easy and fast. Overall it was a very good experience and if we will come back to Iceland we will use "Reykjavik rent a car" for sure.

We are very satisifed with the rental company, they upgraded us from a Grand Vitara to a Jeep Wrangler, which really made the difference. We received several emails regarding weather conditions and they were super nice upon arrival and upon departure. Very good service and very nice fleet of cars! We will repeat when we come back to Iceland!
