    In general, everything was very good. When we pick up the car, we got some good hints about driving on Iceland and they were useful. Points to improve: 1. Car return could be organised better. When we pick up the car - there was no queue and we expected same when returning the car (just based on 1st experience and also based on returning the car in other countries). Though, when we arrived, there was long queue and it seemed that to return the car one has to be in the same queue as to pick up. This made us nervious since we were hurry on plane. Afterwards, several workers appeared and asked who is returning the car, and we managed to do it quite fast. On other hand all this looked very chaotic and dependent on how fast one is in running to worker to give him/her keys and papers to return the car. 2. When booking the car and choosing the insurance, the execptions of insurance are not stated. E.g., doors are blown out by wind, car stuck in the river and so on.

    We rented a car from "Reykjavik rent a car" for 6 days at the beggining of October. The renting process on their website was easy and clear. We arrived late at night and had no problem taking the car, their office is open 24h and a bus will take you there from the Arrivals in about 3 minutes. We rented a Hyundai Tucson and received a Ford Kuga, which was also okay. The car was clean and in a very good condition. The car did not have winter tyres (they said it was mandatory from 15 October) and we had to come back the next morning to put some, because it was snowing in some areas of the country. However changing tyres was about 20 min and we had no extra cost. They also kept us informed regarding the road conditions by sending emails during our stay. Returning the car was easy and fast. Overall it was a very good experience and if we will come back to Iceland we will use "Reykjavik rent a car" for sure.

    Only positive experience for Reykjavik Rent A Car company. It was such a delight to have chosen them for our Iceland trip. Online reservation and email exchanges were smooth prior our arrival. Their branch at KEF Airport is easy to locate. The process went smooth and fast. Thanks to the accommodating staff, he's from our own country (Philippines) surprisingly! He explained a few provisions and gave out tips as well. We rented out a Ford Kuga for 9 days and also availed a platinum insurance. The SUV was ready, fueled up, and nicely presented. Alternatively, returning the car went smoothly as well. Did not even take 10mins! Highly recommended car rental company.
