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.

I loved the car, apparently "the" car brand for tourists in Iceland. Not ideal for the city or towns, but perfect for the countryside. No trouble with pick up at the airport. I ended up upgrading to the full insurance after researching online about the road conditions I might encounter. Glad I did, it made the whole thing a lot easier. Staff was friendly, handed out the required papers and driving guide. No issue dropping off the car at the rental location, and they drove me straight over to the airport. Good service, will likely book with them again!
