The folks at the registration desks were super kind and helpful. When the original car we rented in Reykjavik had engine troubles along our journey - they provided a replacement and upgraded car for us in Akuyreri. Hassle free pick-ups and drop-offs.

The car worked well, it was a last minute switch from picking up at downtown Reykjavik to the Keflavik airport…the young man at the counter made it easy.

Taking up and giving back the car didn’t take much time. The car was quite new (11K km), driving it was very comfortable. One of the best car rental experience.
