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.
Booked a Volkswagen Golf, received a Fiat instead. Gas stations in Iceland are mostly self-service and have a set limit. In a rush, the tank was slightly short, and they demanded it be topped up plus a fine of 5000 Krona. The staff were deliberately difficult and rude, almost causing us to miss our early morning flight.
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 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.
