Great value and car! Car was in great condition, clean and very reliable. Check out process was smooth and fast. I would recommend this rental company to anyone traveling to Iceland and I certainly won’t hesitate to book it again anytime I’m back to Iceland . Thank you

Was a pleasure using Project Car Rental for our trip, Communication was a breeze and staff were friendly and prompt. Unlike some of the counter folk at the other car rental employees at the airport like Avis who seemed disinterested and bored with life. It’s a bit of a walk to get to the car, especially with all the luggage and the cold ! We were travelling with young children so that was a bit of a challenge. Key collection and drop off were easy enough. Big plus that they very flexible with timing since you do all of this yourself. Would highly recommended and will certainly use them again should we return to Iceland.
