Review of Star Car Rental

The camping car we rented was perfect for us. Very well-equipped with cooking gear and blankets. The car was fairly new, too, and had some nice features. We also added the 46/Wifi box and an inverter to our contract, and both worked perfectly. Booking the car was easy, and we appreciated being met at the airport when we arrived. Star Rental was very flexible and accommodating with our car pick-up and return arrangements. In short, Star Car Rental was a great choice for us!

Review of Go Iceland

They didn’t have the car I reserved so I received a Dacia Duster. The guys picked us up even fast even though we arrived almost two hours early at 0500. The check out process was fast and efficient.

Frequently asked questions

What sort of cars are Small & Cheap Cars in Iceland?

Small and cheap cars are categorised by their size and price, as well as whether or not they are three years or older. Vehicles within this category are generally priced lower than models that are either larger or newer. Within this section, you can find cars such as Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1, Volkswagen Golf and Toyota Yaris. Smaller and cheaper cars come without 4WD or AWD.

Are these cars suitable for all seasons in Iceland?

These vehicles are best suited to driving around Reykjavik and the paved road between Iceland’s towns but may be unsuitable for rural driving in poor weather. Because of this, these cars are not recommended for traveling around Iceland in the winter. They are perfectly sufficient for all asphalt travel in the summer, however.

Can I go into the Icelandic highlands with this type of car?

Unfortunately, no. The cars found within this category are unsuitable for travelling on gravel paths, dirt tracks or F-roads. Travellers should be aware that driving one of these vehicles on unsuitable roads will void any insurance and make you liable to pay for any potential damage to the suspension or undercarriage. If you are planning on travelling to the Highlands, make sure to rent a 4WD.

What is included in the rental?

This depends on what vehicle rental is chosen, requiring travellers to pay special attention to the ‘included’ section on the booking documents. For instance, some deals come with GPS devices or additional insurance. Thankfully, all rentals in Iceland come with both CDW insurance and unlimited mileage. CDW covers damage and injury caused by the vehicle (ie. in the case of traffic accidents) but does not cover damage made to the vehicle itself.
