It was my very first experience renting a car in a foreign country on my own, and I enjoyed it a lot. Following the tips of my friend, I booked exactly the SUV because it's heavier than a regular car in the case of a windy weather, and took full coverage. Before arriving in Iceland, I've got an informative email from Blue Car Rental with useful tips and links to the local sites where I can check the road and weather conditions, and my knowledge of the local road rules. Picking up the car right at the airport and dropping it off went very smoothly.

We loved our van, and we were sad to leave it. Lava Car was helpful and convenient. During our trip, we had a flat tire and we reached out to them, and they were very helpful. The campervan itself was great and brand new, along with excellent camping supplies (e.g., nice sleeping bag, utensils, etc.). Overall, our van made our experience in Iceland; we would definitely rent from Lava Car again!
