Our Reviews
I’ve been to Iceland 2 weeks ago...
From Tripadvisor:
I went to Iceland 2 weeks ago. Encouraged by good reviews I’ve chosen Reykjavik Rent a Car and I have to say, the reviews are true. They offer great service, not one of these companies that rip you off at car return. The company is run by young, sympathy folks. The prices they offer are not expensive, comparing to other car rentals - slightly higher then 'budget car rentals', but it is worth to spend a few more pennies and pick a rental house that will not charge you a load for a midget scratch.
The rental house is located approx. 300m from the airport terminal. It is not far, but Icelandic weather conditions are sometimes demanding. The weather was really bad as we landed, so they picked us up and drove us to the office. At the return, they also offered a lift to the terminal, but the weather was nice so we walked. I think this gives an overall look how nice these guys are ;-)
If I ever come again to Iceland I will chose this company again for sure!
I rented a car with Reykjavík Rent A Car ...
From Tripadvisor:
I rented a car with Reykjavík Rent A Car and ended up having to cancel my reservation due to unforeseen circumstances. The friendly and helpful staff member that I spoke to on the phone gave me a full refund without an additional charge. When I first booked, there was an issue with AmEx and Reykjavík Rent A Car emailed me right away and were very communicative. Though I'm disappointed that I won't be able to follow through with my rental on this trip, I am very impressed with Reykjavík Rent A Car's selection, prices, and customer services and will definitely book a car with them on my next trip to Iceland.
Nous revenons d'Islande et avons loué un gros 4x4 avec roofbox pour 19 jours...
From Tripadvisor:
Nous revenons d'Islande et avons loué un gros 4x4 avec roofbox pour 19 jours. Nous étions 5 adultes avec autant de bagages. Le service de Reykjavik Rent a Car a été PERFECT et très agréable du début à la fin. Franchement, pour moi c'est la meilleure agence de location là-bas. Le personnel est sympathique et se plie en 4 pour vous satisfaire. Aucun problème avec le véhicule. Bref, nous avons trouvé notre agence et on ne change pas une équipe qui gagne !! Thanks Kristjan and all the people of Reykjavik Rent a Car !! See you next time ! Caroline
These guys were great...
From Tripadvisor:
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.
I choose Reykjavik Rent a Car because of the good roomers and reviews about the company...
From Tripadvisor:
I choose Reykjavik Rent a Car because of the good roomers and reviews about the company. In the process of choosing a rental company they answered my emails almost instantly, even in late evenings, giving me good answers to my questions. I rented a Jeep Wrangler from them, driving nearly 2000 km between Jokulsharlon and the Westfjords including Djupavik and Latrabjarg. Some of these roads were really rocky, so I was happy with the choice of car.
However, the doors trap on a Jeep Wrangler is in my opinion a design weakness. On my last evening the door strap snapped, the door went forward and made a bump damage in front of the window. I informed the employees about this when I returned the car. I was informed that the owner would inform me by email about the cost of the damage, expecting the worst. The day after I received an email where they said that they wouldn't find it fair to charge me for the damage, as the door strap most likely had been worn out over time, and
After doing loads of research on various Iceland car rental agencies ...
From Tripadvisor:
After doing loads of research on various Iceland car rental agencies (and there are A LOT!), I settled with Reykjavik Rent A Car because of their excellent communication, responding to my email inquiries quickly and helping with my rental modifications after we realized we needed a larger vehicle, and importantly because their prices are incredibly competitive. They offer some of the lowest rates, but have newer, higher quality vehicles. I was not about to rent an old car for driving the Ring Road in Winter!
When we first arrived at the airport, there was a crowd of agency reps holding signs of people they're there to pick up, and we panicked a little bit when we didn't see my name. I guess our guy either walked away for a minute or had just arrived, but the panic only lasted 5 minutes. From that point on, everything went extremely smoothly.
Our rental was a Toyota Land Cruiser with studded winter tires with about 20,000 km. We were given an N1 gas discount card and w
My girlfriend and I drove around the ring road...
From Tripadvisor:
My girlfriend and I drove around the ring road over our New Year's holiday in a car rented from Reykjavik rent-a-car. I had selected them in part because of the positive review here, and I want to confirm that they were simply excellent. They did everything right and went a little beyond. We had ordered winter tires without studs, and after a couple days driving around the city, we thought maybe we should have studs for our ring road trip. The staff agreed to take the car to a mechanic to switch them free of charge. In the end, we changed our mind and kept the original tires, but the fact that they were willing to accommodate us was really outstanding. We also got a parking ticket in Akureyri that we forgot about until we had left the country, and they paid it for us after we returned the car. I highly recommend these guys.
We agree, this is an outstanding company...
From Tripadvisor:
We agree, this is an outstanding company. We rented a Hyundai i30; it was clean, operated fine and got great mileage. Their service was flawless. The car was delivered to our guest house right on time, and we dropped off at the guest house as well [in fact, they made a special trip to come get it as there was no parking when we returned due to an event in Reykjavik].
As a note; we found driving in Iceland to be easy and unstressful [unlike Italy, Greece or Turkey]. Highways and roads are well marked. People generally drive courteously and obey the speed limits; the ring road is in very good shape and while we didn’t have any contact with the police they likely are very good English speakers [almost all Icelanders are]. Any time you get off the ring road [to go to an attraction or accommodation for example] expect a 1 lane gravel surface. There is the occasional wash boarding and pot holes to be avoided, but otherwise, if you go slowly they are fine, albeit quite dusty [if you are lucky to have dry sunny weather]. We drove from Reykjavik to Hofn and gas was easy to get with a credit card, although we didn’t figure out how to get a receipt. The gas stations also had free water [with a brush] for washing off the dust.

From Tripadvisor:
I was in Iceland in June this year and I have been perfectly satisfied with Reykjavik Rent a Car. These guys have a really good service from the first contact. I got every time fast answers on my emails. In Iceland the Pick-Up at my first-night-hostel was in time and like we arranged it. The personal in the office was really nice!!!
I rented a Hyundai ix35 and the car was in a really good condition. No blemish and only 20.000 km when I got the car.
Sorry for my bad English :-)
Everybody who chooses this company makes a good choice!!!

I used Reykjavik Rent a Car again from 10th to 20th July again this year...
From Tripadvisor:
I used Reykjavik Rent a Car again from 10th to 20th July again this year. As usual, great service at Keflavic airport, sensible advice about not letting go of the car doors in windy weather, and no pressure to buy extras. The 4x4 Quashqai performed well, and we explored Snaefellsness, the Highlands (Kjolur, F35, Hveravellir) and along the South coast camping at Pak Gil (Game of Thrones!). Will definitely use this company again, and a friend already has a car booked with them for September.
