Two weeks with the Rav-4.

We took a two-week road trip with a Rav-4 from Reykjavík Cars and we're still talking about it. The online booking process was very simple, and even though we hadn't taken out insurance, we were able to do so at the airport at 2 a.m. (we recommend taking it out, as Icelandic roads are very adventurous). The advice given is extensive and useful. We picked up the car at the airport and then dropped it off in Reykjavík, which was definitely the best option.

Route One roundtrip with Arctic Coast Way

We rented a BMW X1 at Reykjavik Cars. We were provided a Kia Sorento from BLUE Cars and did the complete Route 1 Roundtrip including the Arctic Coast Way. We were very happy with the trip and with this car.

I had a very good experience!

I had a very good experience. The location close to the airport made the pickup very easy and convenient after arriving. The car was in excellent condition and worked perfectly during the whole trip. Thanks to it, I was able to explore Iceland comfortably and visit many places that would have been difficult to reach otherwise.

Returning the car at the airport was also quick and simple, which made the end of the trip very smooth. Overall, a very practical and reliable rental experience that helped make the journey even better.

Reykjavík to Akureyri and back

I had a very positive experience with Reykjavik Cars. The booking process was straightforward and everything was clearly explained in advance. When I arrived, the staff were friendly, professional, and everything was organised efficiently.
I rented a small car, which was perfect for my trip. I drove from Reykjavík to Akureyri and visited multiple sightseeing viewpoints along the way. The car handled the journey very well, was clean, well-maintained, and very economical on fuel, which made exploring Iceland even more enjoyable.
Both my pick-up and drop-off were during night hours, and the process went very smoothly. Everything was clearly arranged and very convenient, which I really appreciated after travelling.
Overall, the service was efficient, reliable, and great value for money. I would happily recommend Reykjavík Cars to anyone visiting Iceland who is looking for a simple and trustworthy car rental experience.

Great, very friendly and helpful service

Although we arrived very late in Reykjavik at night the helpdesk was manned and the staff were very friendly and helpful and took their time to give us a very good service. We actually got a special offer as we‘ve rented the car for a long period of time.
Anytime again Reykjavík Cars!

Simple online booking and super easy process

We booked the rental car online for a week, though the 1st car provided was slightly older version, we got it replaced immediately after a day. The customer service team were fabulous and very courteous throughout the process. The hand over process was equally easy and simple. Highly recommend them.

We would definitely rent from them again!

The pick up and drop off experience was super easy and convenient! We opted for full coverage on the car given the ever changing weather conditions and terrain in Iceland, but this made the drop off process even easier and gave us peace of mind. I liked the lock box for pick which allowed us to access the car on our own time.

Convenient location near the airport

Convenient location near the airport. Self-check-in and express check-out are a plus. The car was clean and had extra options we hadn't requested. A very positive experience.
