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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
