Round Iceland

Green Motion double-charged for insurance, costing over 2,000 yuan.

I bought full insurance on Zuzuche, but when picking up the car from the rental company, they insisted I purchase another full insurance for 160 Euros. After negotiating, they said if I don't buy it, they would hold 2000 Euros on my credit card. I can understand pre-authorization and deposits when renting cars domestically, but it's normally unnecessary for renting abroad. They blatantly bullied Chinese customers. A German couple next to me only needed to verify their order information and sign their names to get their keys and collect their car, which was conveniently parked right at the entrance. On that day, it was raining in Iceland, and after we bought the insurance, they simply handed us the keys and told us to find our car in the parking lot ourselves. Normally, I could understand this procedure at airports, but comparing the two experiences was disheartening. Aren't German and Chinese customers both customers? This isn't just about the insurance scam; it's about the extra effort paid because of bad weather and still receiving subpar service.

Normal car rental procedures are fine, but making changes can be somewhat troublesome.

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.

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.
