You really need to communicate well with the rental company about the insurance issue. When picking up the car, they pushed for an additional insurance of 146 Euros. They said if you don't take this insurance, you have to leave a 2400 Euro deposit. It was really intimidating, and I couldn't reach you by phone.
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.
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.
