The service at the car pick-up location was decent, and it took about 10 minutes for both picking up and dropping off the car. The problem handling was unsatisfactory. The car’s air conditioner broke on a hot day. We could not reach them by phone during business hours, and had to email for help. The email response asked us to call their office, which then redirected us to call the car repair service. The repair hotline couldn't see our caller ID and couldn't text us the repair address. When we asked for an email, it took forever, and when we called again, they suddenly could see our number and texted us the address. We had to visit the repair shop twice. The first visit they were too busy without an appointment, and the second visit after waiting for an hour, they told us they didn't have the necessary parts and advised us to endure until we returned the car. Later, the rental company called and offered us a discount but couldn’t specify how much. At the airport, they claimed they'd never heard of any discount, and we had to email for assistance again. After insisting, they found a note from a colleague and gave us a one-day rental discount. Considering we rented the car for 13 days and endured the heat, the 0.76-day discount as compensation felt ridiculous and frustrating.

Fairly ordinary, nothing particularly good or bad

Our first car inexplicably broke down. Despite many local mechanics checking it, no one found the cause. After contacting the rental company, they promptly arranged for roadside assistance and a replacement car. Even though it was completed by 3 AM local time, their responsiveness was commendable and didn't affect our schedule the next day.

The paperwork took too long

The car we got was a bit battered on the outside, but it didn't bother us since it consumed next to nothing (which is a big bonus with Iceland price for petrol) and even though it looked small on the outside (Toyota Yaris), we could easily fit in 3 people with all camping gear. Pick up was easy, so was the drop off. I took pictures of all the bruises our car had and was a bit worried they might blame me for some of them even if they were not my fault (bad Trustpilot reviews), but they did not complicate at all.

We saved some money with price alert, thank you for that!
