Everything was fine, except that despite having ordered as full of an insurance as was available on the website I had to get a separate insurance at the car rental place which increased the price somewhat. This intransparency was not very nice.

It is the worse car rental company in my travelling journey up to now!! Unreliability - I was booked a diesel used car for ten days more journey half-year before in order to economy fuel consumption , but only a gasoline car to be chosen.... Untruthful - The staff mislead much compensated cost instead of the fact as some damage to be found!

Counter staff at Lotus were extremely helpful and didn't unnecessarily push and extra insurance. They gave great tips on where to visit, as well as a thorough explanation of the rules of the road in Iceland. They don't look to charge you for hidden costs and return was painless with no worrying about car condition involved. Superb service - other car rental companies should take note and learn from Lotus.

1. Provide unresonalble class of the car, the land rover should be Premium SUV class and it is not the same as nissan xtrail. The car price of Land rover could be 2 or 3 times higher than Xtrail how can AVIS put it in the same class? this is unfair for customer! 2. Provide mulfunction car to customer. Your staff said The Nissan Xtrail car is the brand new one that use only 8000 km. But it show speed fault. The car speed that was checked with speed limit on the road has 10km/h different from the speed shown in the car instrument panel. This caused me a lot problem for controling speed and it delay my trip a lot! 3. Your staff lied to me that the car don’t have built in GPS so i need to add more cost to borrow the GPS from AVIS but actually there is in the CAR! This make me feel very bad that AVIS is unreliable and untrustable. From these 3 reasons, I won’t use your service again and won’t recommend anybody to use your brand.

I rented a GOLF in auto transmission with a higher price but end the staffs offer me with a Mazda 2 in manual transmission. I was surprise and asked them that I thought I rented a GOLF in auto when booking but I was told by the staffs it is similar car. I said when I book online that time Mazda 2 or Hyundai i30 is cheaper than a GOLF. But the staffs told me that this is only similar car that they have so end up I they give me a Mazda 2 auto transmission. I’m very big size so when I’m getting in or out from the Mazda 2 always will have some difficulties. The car conditions was terrible as the engine check light indicator was on when I got the car and they told me is fine as it has been like this for awhile and after i drove for a feed day the water and tires indicator light on. I’m quite disappointed and upsets that it was a totally different type of car that I booked and the condition of the cars was so terrible that I need to worry for my whole trips that will this car breakdown halfway. I will definitely not to recommend any of my friends or book any car rental from this company again.

wait too long to get the car. From departure gate, I spend almost 20 minutes to try to search for the person who pick me up for the car. After successful find that person, he ask me to wait for 15 min, he send other to et the car, after 15 min, he ask me to wait another 15 min , because there is anothetr person who wait them for almost 1.5 hour already. then after that, he send that person to pick up the car, ask me to wait another 15 min. end out I only successful reach there collection center after 1.5 hours. then take another 20 min to collect my car. When return car, they say got provide transfer to airport every 15 min, but end out I am waiting for 45 min for the transfer. conclusion, there is only one person there who incharge for pick up at airport, drive me to the car collection center, send people to airport from collection center. How can be done in 15 min for pick up and retuen. you need to expect at least 3 times of the times.

First, we landed at Iceland International Airport, and this car rental company did not have a pickup counter there. Following the address provided, we had to take an airport bus to the domestic airport at our own expense, which took an hour. However, there was no pickup counter at the domestic airport either. We called the rental company and waited at the domestic airport for over 10 minutes until someone came to pick us up. It took another 10-minute drive to reach the pickup point, which turned out to be a Honda dealership. The pickup process was very slow, and we were charged a deposit of 335000 ISK. Returning the car was also problematic; it was at a different location and hard to find based on the address given by the staff. We had to ask two people for directions before finding the place, which was stressful as we had a flight to catch right after returning the car. The return point was another Honda dealership. Even though the car was in perfect condition, the deposit would take one to two months to be refunded. It’s really better to rent from a big company; this local rental company is very unreliable. This has been my worst car rental experience ever, definitely a negative review.

Picking up the car was extremely complicated. After landing, I checked the pickup location based on the navigation information, and it turned out to be more than 50 kilometers away! I was instantly confused and noticed there was another domestic airport. I quickly took the airport shuttle to the domestic airport, but when I reached the end of the road shown on the map, I had to carry my luggage and ask people at the domestic airport. Even the only staff member at the airport didn't know where this rental company was. I had to call the rental car company with my bad English, and all they could say was 'sorry' and 'please wait.' After several calls, and contacting Zuzuche customer service, I waited for an hour before the rental company finally brought the car. It turned out that the pickup and drop-off locations on their order were at the international airport, which we totally missed. Whether it was the rental company's mistake or Zuzuche's, it was an extremely bad experience. Thankfully, the rest of the self-drive trip went smoothly.

It wasn't obvious where the car hire depots were - the symbol in the airport was a car with a key above and we were not sure we were following the correct signs. The girl at desk was not happy that I didn't take any additional insurance policy. I chose a policy on the website that I thought covered everything I might encounter but she advised it didn't cover for natural disasters. I chose not to pay for this as the areas she indicated there might be a problem I wasn't going to visit.

Like: The sales representative was very welcoming and very friendly and give a lot of useful tips.

Like: The car was perfect, it got me everywhere I needed for the two weeks, it didn’t come with WiFi, but I managed to get one with their help, I appreciated them telling me to get full insurance coverage and letting me know how badly the cats get beat up in Iceland. It’s so true. Ricks are constantly being throw up by other cars in front of you and hitting your windows and fast moving trucks down south. I like how fast they work to get you in and out of there.
Dislike: The cost of the full insurance was quite high. WiFi or gps should be included in the rental package, but everything ekes was good and fast.

The pick-up process seems outdated. With all the information already provided to Easyrentcars, I was surprised to need to provide all the information again. Also, the car was quite old (around 60,000km) and had multiple bumps on all sides and a few broken interior elements - so was not too pleasant overall.
