We got picked up from the airport within the hour.
We initially tried to rent a Nissan nv200 campervan. When we got there a ford transit connect was the replacement, this was a little bigger and had more features than we expected.
Throughout the journey we had no issues with the campervan whatsoever and it enabled us to travel almost 2000km around Iceland.
When we went to return the campervan we got stuck in some traffic as a snowstorm has come on, meaning we were cutting it fine to make our flight. We needed to be at the airport in 20mins!
We told a staff member, Adrian that we were in a hurry. Adrian dropped us to the airport almost immediately after checks were completed on the car. Nice guy.
We were very happy with the price, service and campervan we recieved especially what felt like the extra mile of service when we were in a rush at the end.
Anita was welcoming from the start, offered us a delicious coffee and made us feel confident with our rental. She made sure we got the best deal possible and went out of her way to give us a safe and reliable vehicle for our trip. She was super friendly and a great person to help us start our Iceland trip!
Car drop off:
We dropped our car off with Robert and he was absolutely lovely. He was quick to check the car and confirm that there weee no damages. He also then asked about our trip and we chatted for ages! He was very professional and through with what he did. Thank you Robert for chatting to us :)
Tips:
- we had a great experience with them but just to be safe, I would take a video of the car and pictures both when you pick up the car and drop it off. This is so you have proof of what condition the car was in and is in when dropping it off.
- they have lovely cappuccinos from the machine so don’t miss out of them.
- don’t be like us and rent a small car in winter. It pays to have a larger vehicle (4x4) with comprehensive insurance and winter tires/tyres. Thank you Anita for looking after us!
- RESPECT the weather warnings! We’re Canadian and thought we could handle snow. It’s very different here and can turn into “a blizzard” very quickly. This is why you have to have your lights on at all times. Just trust that these are not the roads or conditions you’re used to in winter and take your time. A yellow weather warning in Iceland is probably a red in Canada ????
- we tidied the inside of the car upon drop off but didn’t have to car wash it before returning. I believe there is some leniency around it being winter and returning the car without a wash externally.
