    From Tripadvisor:

    Just had to comment regarding our recent experience with Reykjavik Rent a Car - had been seriously let down by Avis literally hours before 5 people were due to land at Reykjavik airport needing a 9 seater for a 4 day photoshoot. Called Reykjavik Rent a Car at 7:00 am UK time - an hour before the people were due to touch down, to see if there was anything they could do to help. Within the hour Mr Baldvinsson had confirmed that a vehicle would be available and he met the travellers on time at the airport to hand over the vehicle!
    Can't thank Mr Baldvinsson enough for his efficiency and professional approach and would certainly recommend to other travellers requiring car hire in Iceland.

    Rented a Suzuki Vitara diesel automatic for 10 days and took Platinum insurance for peace of mind. The car was quite new (29K km), clean and had very few scratches. Handled beautifully all the 3000km I threw at it. When the car gave an oil change warning in Egilstadir I contacted them and I was directed right away to a local affiliated mechanic who came within 45 minutes to check all was well. Car check in and check out went smoothly and fast and the staff were very polite and efficient. I certainly recommend this company

    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.
