Aug 2020
Pros:
Very close to the airpot - walkable distance, better to skip to shuttle busCons:
Sixt pricing is not transparent - change from limited number of KM to unlimited distance, apart from the expected upgrade charge, also changes the base rate for the car. It makes it impossible to compare with other companies and importantly, confuses a lot when picking up the car. It's unclear.5.2 Okay

Cons:
There was an extra mileage few that wasn't disclosed when I booked the car that more than doubled the costDollar

Aug 2019
Pros:
The staff member was nice and once we were able to finally see someoneCons:
The rental system needs to be cleaner, having an individual walk out to the car is rather slow since then you loose a agent and leave people waiting way to long (we waited an hour and a half.5.2 Okay
Aug 2019
Pros:
Staff in Iceland was helpful.Cons:
I booked a SUV (Jeep Wrangler or equivalent) and when I arrived I found out that my reservation was for an economy car (Mazda CX-3). I was mislead by Kayak /Dollar, if I had know that for the price I was getting economy instead of SUV, I would not have booked.9.6 Excellent
Aug 2019
Pros:
The staff were great.Cons:
It can take a little while to pick up -it gets busy when several flights come in at once. But that's understandable.9.2 Excellent
Jul 2019
Cons:
We needed a car for 27 hours, but there was no way to adjust an booking (online or in person) to charge anything less than a full 48 hour rental.6.8 Good
May 2019
Pros:

Aug 2019
Pros:
Their staff seems to be nice while they rip you off under the table. Should have read the reviews before I booked. What people say about it being a scam is completely true.Cons:
- They charge arms and legs for insurance deposit and damages that weren't even done by you (lots of Google reviews from multiple people about this). - Pickup in my experience took 3 hours. Multiple people had to wait with me for several hours.2.0 Mediocre
Aug 2019
Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
They could have had our car we reserved. Instead they didn't have anything so we were forced to rent else where.6.0 Good
Jan 2018
Pros:
Slick car pick up / drop off Good, friendly staffCons:
Transport at the airport - the pickup bus was later arriving and no obvious signage on where to get picked up / meet My car had some damage on pick up - all noted fine, but the headlights were affected by the damage. Should have been fixed before re-hiring.10.0 Excellent
May 2017
Pros:
Very friendly and helpful staff. I had my own insurance cover and they didn't even try to sell their own insurance. They gave me a free map, coupons for fuel discounts, and some good advice on my travel itinerary. The pick-up and drop-off was seamless with virtually no waiting time. The car was new and very well cleaned. Overall, I am very happy with the service I received and will definitely use them again on my next trip to IcelandCons:

Pros:
They gave me a car for 6 days I supposeCons:
Picked up late from Keflavik in a dangerously overloaded van. Rude and unpleasant staff. Charged £650 for replacement of a damaged windscreen that was present on collection (over double the rental cost). Go somewhere else to rent a car in Iceland.Hertz

Sep 2018
Pros:
The team at the Hertz. The pick up and drop off was excellent!Cons:
The price can be more competitive.6.0 Good
Aug 2018
Pros:
I liked the pick up at the hotel. The car drove fine.Cons:
The quote that I received on Kayak was about $20 less than when I went to pick up the car. I declined any extra insurance. I spoke with Hertz rental and they said the the Iceland office was an independent office and would check with them. They basically said that that was the price and here is your invoice of what you paid. It seems that there is nothing that I can do about this. I work in the airline industry and will not recommend Kayak, unless this is rectified.10.0 Excellent
Sep 2017
Pros:
We had a last min. change of plans that brought us to Iceland for a few days. Hertz was great at getting us a rental car with virtually no notice. Wonderful people at the desk and a far better car rental experience then anything I've used in the USCons:
The shuttle back to our hotel was a surprise bonus!9.2 Excellent
Jul 2017
Pros:
I liked the friendly staff. They were kind when I had to wait 20 minutes for my car to be cleaned and gave me a discount for the inconvenience. Made the wait more tolerable for sure!Cons:
A little pricey, but I hnderstand the market and season is just high priced7.2 Good
May 2017
Pros:
Nice new carCons:
Insurance was confusing. I thought it was included in initial offer but was advised later it was missing. Price with insurance id never have rented from Hertz.10.0 Excellent

Jul 2018
Cons:
We were a party of 6 adults with 6 pieces of large luggage and 6 pieces of small luggage. We requested, had a confirmation and paid for a Toyota Sienna van with room for 7 adults and lots of luggage, but received a Citroen Picasso with room for 6 adults and no luggage. There was nothing else available at pick up and there was nothing they could do to make it better. Would not provide a roof rack unless we paid for the rental of it. We were therefore extremely crowded and uncomfortable for the entire time of the rental. The rental location was very hard to find as it was not at the airport as expected, where all the other rental companies were located. Would never rent from them again.6.0 Good
May 2017
Pros:
Staff were friendly and easy to communicate with. Insurance was offered at a reasonable rate.Cons:
Rental was actually through Fair Car, not Economy Rent a Car. While somewhat cheaper than other large car options, we still paid a lot for a car that was a tight squeeze for five people and our luggage. We changed the pick up by only a few hours, which led to a noticeable change in price. After it was all said and done, the car was almost $200 more than expected. It looks like we were originally quoted a price in euros, not US dollars and local taxes were omitted.7.2 Good
May 2017
Pros:
Cheap and fair.Cons:
We were not informed that the Iceland Economy Car Rental company does a "pick up service" since their building is not in the airport. This meant we were not looking for the driver when we landed and missed him. This created great confusion as we did not have cell service there to contact the company and had to find airport help.2.0 Mediocre

Aug 2020
Pros:
Totally unacceptable. I rented the car (one way) well in advance and the guy at the local Avis called me that morning (Sunday) to say they had no cars, no one had returned, and there was nothing he could do about it. I spent hours calling around my area trying to find one but it was a medical emergency, and we ended up renting an Uber, hugely expensive.Cons:
Everything. Avis in Westport is really bad.8.4 Excellent
Jun 2017
Pros:
Great car, awesome drop-off experience. Attentive employees who knew what they were doing.Cons:
The pickup still took more than 1.5 hours, even though I had reserved/booked in advance, which made me miss my hotel check-out time. One unfortunate employee was left to deal with a long line of customers who hadn't booked in advance, further penalizing those who had planned ahead.8.0 Excellent

Pros:
Staff was friendly, good price performance ration.Cons:
Unluckily if you book the car and you are there only one day with the cruise ship to pick up the car (no matter if with reservation or without) took more than one hour. This made our day trip very stressful, because we lost so much time. Employees should not work as tourist information if long line.5.2 Okay

Cons:
I had booked my reservation to be picked up at 1 and dropped off at 3 and when I arrived at the return the agent charges us an extra $80 usd for the addition two hours because our reservation didn’t note the addition two hours6.0 Good

Pros:

May 2017
Cons:
When we arrived they informed us that they didn't have the size vehicle that we booked, which was unfortunate because we had 7 people with luggage. The most that they could offer us for the inconvenience was the option to book another car at full price. The man was very short with us and repeatedly said that it wasn't his fault, rather that it was Kayak's fault and that he didn't need to accommodate us. Thankfully our friend had already booked a car with another company and allowed several of us to go with him, but our group was split up.9.6 Excellent

When to book a rental car in Reykjavik
Top tips for hiring a car in Reykjavik
- Looking to rent a car during your time in Reykjavik? For travelers landing at Keflavik International Airport, the rental car counters can be found in the Arrival Hall of the airport’s main terminal. If you are arriving in Reykjavik Airport on a domestic flight, you will find the Europcar rental desk on the west side of the airport and the Hertz rental desk on the east side of the airport.
- Travelers should be aware that many of the tunnels and bridges in Iceland are one way and the right of way is given to whoever arrives first. This is particularly important because these bridges and tunnels tend to be quite narrow, and nobody wants to have to back up on a tiny bridge.
- One of the major advantages of renting a car in Reykjavik is that it truly enables you to visit any part of the country. Many wonderful sites and natural wonders are easily accessible on a day trip from Reykjavik such as the Blue Lagoon, Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, and Kirkjufjara Beach. However, make sure to keep an eye on your fuel tank, as gas stations are sparse in Iceland.
- Despite its relatively small size, Reykjavik still experiences the typical morning rush hour from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and evening rush hour from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, drivers will be happy to hear that the congestion is by no means severe, so, besides a few of the downtown streets backing up, there isn’t too much to worry about.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Reykjavik for ₹ 6,635 or less
- Book your rental car in Reykjavik at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport rental car locations in Reykjavik are around 78% more expensive than airport locations on average
- Intermediate rental cars in Reykjavik are around -36% cheaper than other car types, on average
