KEFLAVIK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

When we arrived at the store, they said the car model we booked was unavailable, and they gave us a car they said was of the same class. There was a CRV in the store, and we asked why we couldn't have that one. The staff explained that it had already been reserved. I had also reserved weeks in advance, but perhaps the other person reserved earlier. Although we didn't get the familiar model we booked, we were not particularly happy. But at least the car was in good condition and had no issues, so it was a happy ending overall.

We didn't see any Green Motion signs at the airport. After asking the information desk, we waited about 10 minutes before seeing a shuttle driver holding a Green Motion sign. The drive to the pick-up point took less than 10 minutes. There weren't many people in line, but the efficiency was low. There were various sales pitches for different insurances.

The paperwork took too long

Picked up the car at Enterprise, there was no one there, just got the car directly. The car was in great condition, only 1500 kilometers! The staff were very nice, no sales pitches. Adding an extra driver costs extra.

Terrible experience! After completing the formalities and being informed that I had purchased the supplementary full insurance from the rental service, the female manager on duty tried to sell me paper maps, GPS, and various insurances, which I refused. Her attitude then became very unfriendly. The Vitara arranged for me was red and had over 90,000 kilometers. While driving from Seljalandsfoss to Skógafoss, I received a call from the rental company inquiring about the vehicle's condition and requesting an inspection the next morning in Vík. The male staff member sounded very anxious on the phone. After I confirmed that the car was fine, his tone noticeably relaxed. About an hour later, before reaching Vík in a mountain pass near the branch road to Sólheimajökull Glacier, the throttle stopped responding, and the car eventually stalled. When I contacted the company for assistance, they insisted without inspection that it was my improper operation that caused the throttle failure (later, the provided repair list proved it was a clutch failure). Due to the poor communication and rude attitude of the rental company, I terminated the service agreement. Thanks to the persistent efforts of colleagues from the rental service, we finally succeeded in getting compensation. The rental company's behavior was malicious, and their service before, during, and after the rental was very irresponsible and rude. I give them a bad review. First-time visitors to Iceland planning to rent a car should consider their options carefully.

The store is close to Reykjavik Airport, but their service is really bad. First, there is the intimidating insurance upsell. If you don't buy their €15 per day insurance, no matter how comprehensive your insurance from rentals is, they will pre-authorize a 290,000 ISK repair fee for any accident. Every minor scratch is considered an accident, and you'll have to pay over 15,000 RMB up front for repairs, which is a scam. If you buy their insurance, they only deduct 2,000 ISK. Low efficiency; from struggling to find their shuttle at the airport to finishing the communication, I spent 600 RMB on international calls. Never renting from this company again.

The staff was helpful and responsible. After returning the car, they even drove me back to my hotel. The procedures were simple and quick! Very good!

This car rental company is absolutely terrible. Remember the name, Green Motion! The exterior of the car we got was very damaged. The steering wheel had issues, the brakes were unresponsive, the acceleration was poor, and the seats were full of pits and dents. This led to a disastrous trip in Iceland, causing us to return the car and leave Iceland two days early. Our remaining accommodation was wasted, and we had to buy new tickets as we couldn't change our flights. When returning the car, we discovered that the GPS we rented couldn't enter the return address correctly because it was faulty and couldn't input the number 6. We even got help from Hertz staff to try and input it, but they couldn't either. Since their office wasn’t at the airport, we spent two hours looking for the return location and eventually left the car in front of a hotel at the airport, waiting for them to pick it up. Communication over the phone was very unpleasant, and they refused to come and get the car. We were almost missing our flight, and it was only after my companion angrily hung up that they sent someone. Returning the car two days early didn't get us any refund, and they even charged an additional 10,000 ISK without our permission. Overall, Green Motion deserves extremely negative reviews!!!

Good service for their direct customers

This company is extremely poor. First, I booked a Grand Cherokee. When I arrived, they said they didn't have it and gave me a Jeep Cherokee. They insisted it was of the same grade, claiming the Trailhawk was just as good, but a Grand Cherokee starts at half a million, whereas a Cherokee at most costs three hundred thousand. The same grade? They said if I insisted on a Grand Cherokee, I could wait for an old model for three hours until 7 PM, which would disrupt my schedule. I had to accept it. Such an untrustworthy foreign company should not be recommended. When returning the car, they inspected it meticulously and claimed an existing damage was not marked. Luckily, I bought full coverage, otherwise I would have had to compensate them. What an awful company.

Poor vehicle condition, no other options available

Normal car rental procedures are fine, but making changes can be somewhat troublesome.

International brand, very convenient at the airport. Renting a car abroad is straightforward, just verify the order and drive away.

Very convenient

The service was good, with no additional upselling.

Too many people, waited over an hour... Made me very anxious just after landing.

Not bad. Since there was no CRV available, we were upgraded to a Forester, which drove very well! However, the staff at the store were a bit arrogant and not very attentive.

The staff were okay. Their attitude and speed were acceptable. However, I booked a PASSAT or a similar model but was given a SUZUKI instead. They didn’t have a Passat. The Suzuki was not at the same level as the Passat and had over 60,000 kilometers on it. The car was just okay. Compared to other companies' cars, this one didn't feel new.

Although the location is a bit far from the airport, the service is great. There's a pickup service from the airport when you rent the car and a drop-off service when you return it. The staff is very friendly, and you can ask them about Iceland road signs if you haven't done much research.

Although the store is a bit far from the airport, the service guy was very helpful.
