    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

    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 Suzuki Vitara 4WD automatic (Platinum insurance) with Reikjavik rent a car and the experience was great. The check-in and check-out were really fast (no more than 15 min each), especially the check-in, the fastest I've ever seen. I've rented other cars in other countries and the check-in were really slow and we lost a lot of time in the office, so for me it was important that with this company was so fast. The 24/7 available phone they have for incidences was good, they solved all the needs and questions we had. The car was in good condition, nothing to complain about. I totally recommend this car rental company based in my experience (May 2018)

    We rented a car in February during some nasty storms. I loved the daily weather updates I was receiving via email. Also, the car had studded winter tires which made driving in snow and ice much safer. Thank you!
