The car and service was excellent.

I highly recommend Golden Circle Cart Rental for its service and value. We rented a 4WD stick shift which was very nice for our needs. We got door-to-door pickup from the airport, and many helpful tips and recommendations for driving in Iceland and things to see.
Sadhbh Moran
Amazing service and the car was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and explained everything clearly for us at the beginning. The only downfall was not getting a confirmation that the car had been returned successfully when we left it back. We left it back early in the morning before they opened. It would be nice to have confirmation that everything was ok. But I would definitely rent from blue car rental again in the future.

I received a compact car at a reasonable price, making it easy to travel around Iceland with no issues. The car was in perfect condition and equipped with advanced options such as USB charging ports, heated seats, a rearview camera, and smart cruise control, making driving long distances in cold weather comfortable. Additionally, there was a discount benefit when refueling at partnered gas stations, and a free shuttle service to the airport was provided. I am 100% willing to use this company again next time.
