With breathtaking land, sea and mountainscapes to be seen all over the island, Iceland tops the list of Europe's first-choice motoring holiday destinations. Situated at the very edge of the Arctic Circle, the country offers a unique range of tourist experiences, ranging from dining out under the midnight sun to sleeping out under the Northern Lights. Iceland is a land of glaciers, waterfalls, hot geothermal lakes, moon-like lava fields and refreshingly cosmopolitan towns and cities. Reykjavik (the capital) is a fine example of this; the city is alive with Icelandic culture portrayed in its many museums and galleries. Don't miss the excellent Settlement Exhibition for a fascinating portrayal of the Vikings presence on the island or the spectacular views from the top of Hallgrimskirkja Church. A car hire in Iceland offers you the chance to relax in the warm waters of the famous Blue Lagoon and take a selfie in front of Geysir, the best-known of all the world’s geysers. For the trip of a lifetime, you can circumnavigate the entire island on the popular Ring Road which covers more than eight hundred miles of the most spectacular scenery you're ever likely to see.
Auto Europe offers the best deals for your motoring holiday in Iceland, with convenient pick-up points available all over the island, including Keflavik where the country's international airport is located.

" Everything very good apart from vehicle return. Long queue to return car. Staff member walked off to check car but took ages to return. We weren't sure whether we should wait and we had a plane to catch so we left. "

" No problems. "
" I made two separate bookings with Budget, picking up from Keflavik. A young woman helped us with the first pick up. She was very helpful and the car and drop off were also good. However, the young man helping us with the second booking seemed very disinterested and we were provided with a very old car that made quite a concerning noise when braking. I reported this when dropping the car off, as I was concerned about the safety of the vehicle for other customers. However, it was worrying to be given a car in such poor condition. "

" Should have a better coordination with Car rental to assure we get what we booked and paid for . "
" Firstly, we didn't get the car we booked . It was supposed to be Land Rover discovery sport 4x4 but they gave us Kia Sorrento instead . It's totally a different concept of car . Furthermore, we had to buy new insurance because the Agent said that they have nothing to do with the insurance included with our reservation because it's not purchased directly with Avis. "

" I have used autoeurope for many years and mostly my experience was positive (including my latest rent in Italy in July this year). Hopefully the Iceland problems were just a matter of bad luck. "
" Counter staff was not particularly efficient (they may want to shorten their conversations with each other while their customers are waiting), but that was rather minor inconvenience, my next point is a bit more serious. One rather obvious thing required while renting a car in Iceland is good tires. That was not the case for us, the tire tread was barely above the legal limit, one of the tires leaked and required daily pumping up. Roadside assistance recommended was not particularly useful but very expensive, they charged £70 (nonrefundable!) just to "open the case". I decided against using the service as the next step was to somehow fix leaking tire (not to replace it) for something like £170. "

" I accidentally booked the car for a day later than my flight. The counter staff was not very helpful and just gave me a flyer with a number to call to request for the car to be picked up in the city centre rather than the airport. I called this number countless times over the following two days and tried all the other numbers I could find online and was automatically redirected to road assistance every time. Even the very kind people at the front desk of the hotel I was staying at tried it and couldn't get through. I had to pay for a cab to go all the way back to the airport and when I mentioned this to the person behind the Avis/Budget counter they couldn't care less and didn't apologize or explain. The purple behind the counter for other companies were a lot more helpful and sympathetic and actually tried to help us. "

" I think that comparative websites, such as Auto Europe, are an excellent way of being exposed to different options. I would, however, recommend that everyone assume that they would need to take out the most expensive insurance and compare prices that way (particularly in Iceland). "
" The Carwiz rep was late to collect us from the airport so we were wondering about trying to figure out where he was. He eventually arrived with little apology and then took a long time to round up all of the passengers. He then started loading the van by piling bags on top of one another so I had to ask him to stand our large suitcases up or all of our contents would have been absolutely squashed. We had to wait a very long time at the check-in and whilst there, had to watch another customer in tears over the way they treated her when she returned the vehicle (I don't know the details so cannot comment further) which demonstrated their lack of awareness of customers as they were totally unsympathetic and didn't even offer any privacy. Whilst this was a cheap quote, it lost its value for money when we were frightened into taking the superior insurance - which was another £300 for 10 days - as it was clear they were unsympathetic to customers. When we were taken to our vehicle I was shocked by the poor condition (and was annoyed about the additional insurance - it's clear they don't actually claim on the insurance!). One rear light was taped in place, there was no back parcel shelf, the rear number plate was adrift, there were bumps and scratches all over and one of the boot holders was loose but, worst of all, an engine light was constantly on (which they assured us was 'no problem' and we could continue). To be fair, the vehicle drove okay, despite the brake lights occasionally issuing a warning, which only went off when we restarted the car. The only truly positive experience was our return where we dealt with a lovely man (from Poland) who was friendly and efficient and a pleasure to work with. "

" I arrived to be told the car is not ready and to come back in 30 minutes which was okay. I went back to the desk and was told to check the vehicle for marks and was given a list or the marks that was on there. I ended up having to take 8 other photos of other marks which were not noted. I turned on the engine and the engine light and EPC light was on a orange warning which was not mentioned. I turned off the car to then go back to the desk. I noticed bugs in the back seat and clearly the inside wasn't cleaned which they specifically said was due to covid. When going back to the desk the lady was helpful not really that apologetic and managed to get another car which thankfully worked. I ended up being delayed for over 2 hours with the back and forth to get a new car.

" My experience with Auto Europe was pretty good, the website was easy to use and a competitive price was offered. The excess insurance was also competitive but this didn't stop the car hire company trying to sell me their own product on pick up - it would be helpful if Auto Europe could advise the car hire company that the customer has already taken out this cover to avoid the hard sell at the car hire pick up desk. I would have rated Auto Europe higher had not have changed my booking a few days before travel - I had chosen a car hire company where I could pick up at the airport but this was changed to pick up off airport via a shuttle bus. When I asked to change to a hire company where I could pick up at the airport I was advised this was possible but at the current price which was higher than I had already paid - I would have expected the price paid to be honoured as this was a change made by Auto Europe not me; I kept my existing booking. "
" The pick up procedure took ages with one person on the desk at the off airport Payless depot, I estimate a wait in the order of 30 minutes. There were two other parties in front of mine. The focus seemed to be on selling additional insurance rather than getting people into their hire cars and on their way. The tactics used to sell the insurance were dubious with tales and pictures of wind and sand damage - I wasn't asked whether I already had excess insurance (which I had already taken out through Auto Europe) and when I said I had I was advised it wasn't as good as the Payless (Avis) insurance but I declined the Avis insurance anyway. We were given a car from the group above the one we had booked with no extra charge but the condition of this vehicle wasn't great with dents and scratches on the outside and not very clean on the inside. It turned out that one headlight did not work and there was a steering vibration above 80kph (both of which were reported on drop off). Drop off was quite efficient once I was informed there was no need to go into the office (after having gone into the office!) as there we representatives checking cars in the car park but we hadn't been approached. Subsequently I have realised there was an additional charge on my hire agreement for what appears to be something called RSN which I have emailed Payless (Avis) about as I don't recall being advised of or agreeing to this - I am awaiting a reply from them.

There seemed to have been a breakdown in communication between Avis and AutoEurope, which was very frustrating. The instructions for finding the car and checking it for damage were also very unclear and confusing, leading to a lot of wasted time. I was initially asked to sign a document saying I was happy with the car's condition without even seeing the car! When dropping off the car, I was not given any paperwork or receipt to confirm drop off and condition. I then found unspecified "additional products" added to my bill. I queried what this charge was for and have not yet heard back. "

" I booked at vehical class deliberately to ensure that I could travel on F class roads. Several weeks after initally confirming the booking Auto Europe advised there had been a mistake and the original car I had booked was unavaiable but they had arranged another through Avis at the same class and at the same cost. (It was a Suzuki Vitara as oppossed to a Dacia Duster). On picking up the vehicle from Avis it had messages all over the vehicle that it could not be taken on F roads. This is completely contrary to why I hired the class of vehicle that I did. "
" The counter staff at pickup were very pushy in trying to sell and convince me to take out additional insurance I had already declined. In addition I was misinformed on the cost of the one additional insurance I did agree to. I took the road assist out which I was told on 3 separate occassions was £2 a day for 7 days and then free after that, so capped at £14 for a 2 week hire. I was charged on return approx. £34. This charge was not seperately detailed and hard to discover. On repeated requests for the breakdown I finally got the detail and complained about the over charging. The manager informed me that I had been incorrectly advised by the counter staff but eventually agreed to reduce the cost to approximately £17 which I accepted but was still more than the £14 I was originally advised. In addition the billing process included other charges of approximately £30 which were not seperately detailed or explained. After several requests for the nature of the charges and being initally told this could not be provided I was told it was for use of tunnels but could not be told for which tunnels or how many uses. Eventually we collectively determined it was for two uses together with additional administration charges for non payment within 3 hours of use. The whole process took approximately 30 minutes to resolve and left me very disatisfied. "

" The car I was provided with was unusable and unsafe and almost caused a nasty accident upon leaving the airport. How this managed to pass any kind of checks I do not know. When driving in a straight line the was veering off to the right very badly, and when I had to break hard, the pull to the right was so severe it almost put me off the road and into a ditch. When I took the car back to where I got it from, that itself was actually quick to be swapped. However, upon returning the car from rental, they charged me an extortionate amount for a chip in the windscreen which was there when I drove the car off. I only noticed this about 5mins up the road after collecting the car, and after having to go back already with the previous car, and hassle involved in sorting all that, I didn't think I`d need to do anything about it, as I`d have thought this was recorded already. When dropping the car back, they were insistent that they were going to charge me for this damage to the screen which was already there. They couldn't even check the previous car to see if it was fit for road use, which as I said almost caused us to have a severe accident, and they claim they`d have noticed a screen chip.

" The car I was provided with was unusable and unsafe and almost caused a nasty accident upon leaving the airport. How this managed to pass any kind of checks I do not know. When driving in a straight line the was veering off to the right very badly, and when I had to break hard, the pull to the right was so severe it almost put me off the road and into a ditch. When I took the car back to where I got it from, that itself was actually quick to be swapped. However, upon returning the car from rental, they charged me an extortionate amount for a chip in the windscreen which was there when I drove the car off. I only noticed this about 5mins up the road after collecting the car, and after having to go back already with the previous car, and hassle involved in sorting all that, I didn't think I`d need to do anything about it, as I`d have thought this was recorded already. When dropping the car back, they were insistent that they were going to charge me for this damage to the screen which was already there. They couldn't even check the previous car to see if it was fit for road use, which as I said almost caused us to have a severe accident, and they claim they`d have noticed a screen chip. I`m furious about the whole situation and is quite a large chunk out of pocket for something that wasn't even my fault. They didn't even offer a discount for the inconvenience of the previous car, nor seem bothered about the accident I almost had due to the car condition. I would never ever use this company again, nor anything related to them. Once I have caught up with my work from being away for a few days, I`ll be contacting my lawyer to seek legal advice. "

" The lies we were told by the staff member of staff while picking up our rental car was unbelievable! The sole motivation was to make us purchase optional extras such as sand and ash protection (which was £200 for 4 days). For example, we were told that we didn't have windscreen damage waiver included and needed this extra cover. Windscreen cover was included in our original package. We were told the state of the roads were terrible in Iceland when in fact they're better than the UK. We were told we wouldn't be charged for fuel if the car was returned with a full tank yet £77 was taken from my credit card which I'm still trying to get back. Our Hyundai i10 had 90,000 miles on the clock and a cracked windscreen when we picked it up – which is very dangerous, especially with the high winds in Iceland. Not surprised that this damage wasn't marked on the contract when we picked up the key as no one would accept this! "

" The experience with Auto Europe was ok. However you are promoting a terrible company who is happy to rip off customers to be greedy and make more money for themselves. I will never go near Avis ever again - they ruined our holiday and completely scammed us. "
" 1. Avis lied to us and told us we would need a GPS at £20 as we wouldn't get signal in Iceland with our phones. We had 4G at the top of a glacier. they knowingly ripped us off 2. They made us buy additional insurance and never refunded us for the first lot of insurance we paid for 3. They miss sold us SCDW and said that our standard CDW would not cover us. They lied to us and mislead us on purpose. They said that we would have to pay £1600 on normal CDW should there be any damage however we had excess reimbursement on the original cover 4. They made us buy sand and ash protection when we didn't need it. I know they have to make money off insurance as they don't make money on rentals but a company with some integrity would advise what you do and don't need. We didn't leave the city in the car and the weather was good - we did not need this cover 5. We tried to contact Avis to discuss this and their customer services team would not help us and said that we were wrong. They would not let us speak with management or escalate the complaint and they ended up putting the phone down with us. 6. We were totally fooled into hiring a 'Budget' vehicle and they totally shafted us on insurance - totally unfair and unreasonable company and the worst experience I have ever had in my life. "

" Auto-europe sells a full cover package that is supposed to cover all potential excess costs, and recommends customers do not be pressured into purchasing additional cover at counters. Unfortunately, in Iceland, this is the exception to the rule, as sand and ash cover is not covered by auto-europe, and required an additional 50%+ charge at the counter. "
" Budget was great, and nicely informed me of additional charges that the excess cover that auto-europe provided wasn't actually sufficient. Despite the auto-europe recommendation to not allow counter staff to pressure customers into purchasing extras, it turned out they were absolutely correct, and auto-europe had misled me.

" Even though I had intentionally purchased the extra insurance with Auto Europe, and I showed the voucher to the counter staff, we were told at the counter that we had no insurance and should not take the vehicle without upgrading to Avis's insurance. This ended up costing us an additional £415 for the rental period!! Almost the same as the original price paid. In addition, I was not given a chance to actually read the contract I was signing, as the agent kept scrolling through all the text on the ipad and only stopped for me to sign on the line at the bottom. This lead to me unintentionally and unknowingly agreeing to be charged in GBP rather than local currency, which increased the price of the additional insurance and 2nd driver by £35 because Avis add their own 7% conversion fee on top!! Not once was I made aware of this, and I am furious! I have complained to Avis about this, but was just told that I'd signed the agreement and that's it. I feel totally ripped off and will NEVER rent through Avis again. I'm also in two minds about my Auto Europe experience, as I was under the impression that I would only have to pay for the additional driver at the counter, nothing else. "

" Allowing for comment in #3 above, the staff at pick up and drop off were very helpful, pleasant and friendly. they made a tourist feel welcome. "
" Overall very happy. My one comment is that at pick up the staff should be more clear about explaining local road laws. For example, explain toll roads, lights must be on at all times etc. In many countries road tolls can be paid online up to 24 hours after going through the booth. In Iceland they had to be paid by cash or card to an operator at the time. This was not obvious and neither was it explained at pick up. "

" The car we got originally was dirty old and the smell inside was shocking when I drove it a loud banging noise from the front of the car that was only a couple of hundred yards . I went back to the counte to exchange the car they exchanged it for another car a bit better it had 80000 kilometres on the clock we have been to Iceland on numerous occasions this was one of the worst cars I have ever hired driving a few miles out of the airport the pressure tyre warning lights came on I had to pump up the tyres in the garage in Reykjavík i will not be using this hire company again "

" First time trying out Auto Europe. I like the fact that I can get the no-excess insurance included. "
" No issues for us, but it took a long time waiting at the counter because there were several other customers who needed a rather long time. I don't understand why companies like Avis have to charge such huge sums for zero excess (especially because I need to buy several additional add-ons to be fully covered - almost doubling rental costs). How is it then that I can buy separate excess insurance so much more cheaply? "

" Once again the counter staffs main aim is to sell more extras rather than just use information I'd already given when spending time booking online. They took over 40 mins trying to tell me I'd booked two cars when it was obvious I hadn't as they could see my confirmation email on my phone. Moaning it must be wrong as I had paid £10 cheaper than their current cost even when I say I had a voucher that reduced it. Also trying to sell me extra Excess insurance as "the website" yours doesn't give adiquate cover for ash & Chips. I actually have annual Hire car Excess already which does cover me but still tried to bully more out of me. In fact it must be policy as customers either side of me at the counter weee getting same treatment. (Their warnings "oh especially if you're visiting the South with the flying Ash" is scare mongering. I had to spend 5 mins going around the car in pouring rain to check all the damaged bodywork (photographing chips not on their form) The car itself wasn't particularly clean inside & getting it into any gear was a constant struggle for the whole 4 days, from someone who drives over 20,000 miles a year. Dropping off the car was the easiest thing staff friendly & efficient. "

" Handy comparison website which found a cheaper option than any other comparison website. "
" Cheapest price for auto car I could find Car was brand new and cheap to fill. Reliable for our trip but could not drive on some of the roads as they were gravel or had lots of potholes. There was no one at the airport to meet us when we initially arrived and so had to wait around for half an hour or so for someone to turn up with the shuttle. Waited in line at the Procar shop to pick up our car for approx 2 hours. All staff were very determined to upsell on insurance which was very expensive. Not necessary in summer I think. Drop off was fairly efficient as it was 4:30am but we had to wait for the shuttle to fill up with other people before they would take us to the airport. Not great if you're in a rush for a flight. "

" The car we had was a bit long in the tooth for a rental with over 90,000Km on the clock. We were unable to select 2 wheel drive so probably used more petrol than we should have. "
" I handed back the vehicle and was told that everything was in order. I spent the next hour and a half talking to friends both inside Procar's office and outside. I was then approached by a company official and told that the car was damaged and that they had made a mistake in declaring the vehicle was in good order. I protested saying that Procar had been in possession of the car for an hour and half since I returned it and had I moved away from their offices there would have been no issue. Secondly I had no idea what they had done to the car after it was returned to them. I took the utmost care of their whilst it was in my charge. The moral of the story is: "when returning a vehicle to Procar and receiving the all-clear, run like hell". "
" We waited for ten minutes before anyone turned up to greet us, then had a to wait another ten minutes for the shuttle bus. Car OK, but customer service a bit lazy. They told us to read the small print of the rental contract rather than talk us through it. On returning the car with a full tank, we were told that the fuel gauge was showing not quite full (although it looked the same to us as when we picked it up). We declined their offer to fill it up for us for a 'small' charge (I think they charge 5000 krona plus any additional fuel, which was written in the small print). We backtracked to the nearest fuel station where we put in just over 1 litre of diesel to top the car up to brim full! The fuel gauge did not move. "

We went back to the office and the staff tried and couldn't work it. They gave us a portable one for free, but it wasted a good 30 minutes to get sorted. I did not opt for any extra insurance and there was no hard sell and no trying to find fault with the car upon return, as I have read about other companies, so, yes, I was happy with Procar and would recommend them.
