The team was very welcoming and helpful, but on the day of pickup, there was a slight delay because the car needed last-minute cleaning. No biggie, but it did push back my schedule a bit. Once on the road, the car was flawless and made exploring Iceland’s stunning views a true joy.

Rental process went smoothly; cars are solid and reliable. The insurance choices were a bit confusing, and I had to ask several questions to get clarity. The staff eventually helped a lot, but I’d recommend clearer communication upfront. Nonetheless, a great experience overall.
