The folks at the registration desks were super kind and helpful. When the original car we rented in Reykjavik had engine troubles along our journey - they provided a replacement and upgraded car for us in Akuyreri. Hassle free pick-ups and drop-offs.

The car worked well, it was a last minute switch from picking up at downtown Reykjavik to the Keflavik airport…the young man at the counter made it easy.

Taking up and giving back the car didn’t take much time. The car was quite new (11K km), driving it was very comfortable. One of the best car rental experience.

Daniel went out of his way to help with paperwork, driving directions, dropping off, etc. We got great mileage and car drove fine
I didn't like de consumption. For a hybrid car i find 11,9l/100km to much. The car was delivered with the tank not full and the batery was empty to. All the rest was good, but the issue i mentioned above was bad.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming and made sure that we had an excellent rental car experience. The pick-up and drop-off went very smoothly and everything was great!
I had rented a car for the incorrect dates, but immediately attempted to change the dates and the website would not allow me to do so. I attempted to call, but there was no answer. I emailed, but got no response. As a last resort, canceled the reservation on the website, but it did not list as canceled, until, eventually, it did say it was cancelled, but charged me the entire cost of the rental as a ‘cancellation fee.’ I would like my money back.

The car was exactly what we ordered so we were very happy with that. The only issue was how long we had to wait in line to rent. They did not have that many people at the Reykjavik airport pickup to help. Other than that it was a great experience!

Pick up was a bit confusing, mostly because I misread the email. Would be awesome if there were signs for dollar somewhere in the airport, even if that sign just said to press the pickup button.

Thrifty and Dollar are not in the terminal. You catch the shuttle at the departure side of the airport under the "Meeting Point" sign. Only a 3-4 minute shuttle ride. I think this is the better option than renting in the airport because there is no wait once you get to site and they shuttle you right back to the departure entrance when you're finished. If you rent at airport it is quite a long walk back to terminal from the rental car drop-off, with luggage, and they do get a bit of rain in Iceland ' ). Keep their phone number handy so you can call if they're not yet at the Meeting Point when you're ready.
