    First let me say that I have no connection with Reykjavik Rent a Car other than as a satisfied customer. We encountered very pleasant and friendly staff who were efficient and gave clear information. Everything was as booked and there was no hard sell when I explained I had my own insurances. The car had some damage and scratches on it, which I discovered was actually a bonus. You will understand what I mean if ever you have driven far in Iceland! Believe me when I say you do not want an immaculate, unmarked, high performance new vehicle which shows every tiny bit of damage. The car was perfect for our needs and overall the whole experience was excellent. The prices were the best I could scour from the internet too.

    The car is great, and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, I have to give a 3 star because of the car returning experience.

    The returning time is long as I have to queue in the same queue with the other customers who are renting cars. The queuing time spent 30 mins but the checking of returning only requires 1 min. This affects quite seriously for me to catch my flight, luckily I can catch it at last.

    I suggest to have another queue for returning cars, or to have first priority for returning cars. We always don't know how long the queue is, and customer for returning cars for sure don't want to spend hours in waiting and affect their schedule of catching the flight.

    Very pleasant staff at collection and drop off. No hard sell on the extra insurance. Car was ready for collection and parked straight outside the office. Easy to book and very helpful communication before booking.
    Really impressed with website information and leaflet on driving in Iceland. Even more impressed with the daily e-mails of road closures and weather coditions and forecasts.
    One of my best car rental experiences - highly recommended.
