    From Tripadvisor:

    Overall, I think they are genuine car rental company with pretty good customer service. During my visit to Iceland in the month of Nov 2016, I booked Toyota Rav4 and the condition of the car was nice and clean and the young dude at the counter showed me the basic functions of the car. By the way, Rav4 is a good car with spacious back to load 4 big luggage.
    I did not encounter any problem with them - the online booking was smooth, feedback was prompt, the car inspect was quick and return the car without any problem.
    They even were flexible to accommodate my last-minute requests to add one additional days to the rental due to unpredictable weather at the east coast causing us unable to return car at Akureyri.
    So, despite the comparatively higher price they charged, I would still opt for them simply because the ease of mind they gave me during my trip in the country. Thumbs up to them.

    This is the first time that me and my friend visited Iceland. At the beginning we were quite worrying about the traffic conditions due to unstable weather. When we expressed our worries to the guy who walked us through the car rental procedure, he confidently ensured us simply by pointing out 1) just drive slowly; and 2) the car you choose is excellent, no worries! And what he said was true. Our 6-day trip was safe and fun! When we returned the car at 5am, the guy efficiently checked the car and let us know how and where we should wait for shuttle bus to the airport, which was nice and sweet. Of course the rental fee and reasonable, I would recommend Reykyavik Rent A Car to people plan to visit Iceland.

    I was a bit nervous after reading a lot of bad reviews for other car rental companies in Iceland, but after reading the good ones for this place we decided to go with them for our 9 person rental van for our road trip and they were amazing!! The van was so new and clean , it was perfect and returning it was super easy! 100% recommend and will go with them again when we return to Iceland !

    Dacia was ideal, a popular car in Iceland, car was great, plenty of luggage space and did not miss a beat, ideal on F roads, left other vehicles doing 5km/hr while it ran away easily at 30-40km/hr, staff friendly, we hired for 2 weeks Aug 2018.

    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.
