Iceland Ring Road Trip

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.

Very convenient

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 service was pretty good. After calling them from the airport, someone came to pick us up within five minutes and took us to the rental location. Returning the car was quick too. Since our hotel was close by, the rental company's employee drove us directly to the hotel.

We have had a horrendous experience with Green Motion cars, the car which was given to us was a 10 year old car and on day 2 as we left Reykjavik to go around Iceland we started facing a number of issues: 1. The Air Con was not working- since it was peak summer in Iceland, we needed AC most of the time and the AC in the car was not working. 2. The wipers were not working and this caused lot of issues during the whole trip 3. Anti Mist not working- we faced a lot of issue because of the clouds/misty/foggy conditions where the anti-mist was not working. When we called support and customer services a number of times, they asked us to visit a garage in Mvytan where we had to go out of our way to visit the garage and the mechanic confirmed that the ac pump is broken and he also said if he changed the wiper blades it wont make much of difference as it was an old car and the wiper motors need change. We were asked to continue the trip in these horrendous conditions since they dont have any other option and would offer a discount when we return the car back.
