I rented a Dacia Duster...

From Google reviwes:

I rented a Dacia Duster. The car was fit for the Icelandic dirt roads. The price is also nice. We delivered the car a few hours late because of weather challenges, but the rental company understood the situation and was nice. Keep in mind that they are located outside the city center.

From Tripadvisor:

We hired from them on probably 6 or 7 occasions and never had a problem. Their cars a pretty new and therefore likely to be more reliable than cheaper rental companies with older cars.
We always take all the insurances and staff inspect the car with you on arrival and return and note all damage down. Office is just across from arrivals and they transfer you in a mini bus. I always walk to the terminal Fter I drop the car off.
Enjoy your trip, be aware it'll be the beginning of winter so be flexible in your plans. Hopefully you have winter driving experience.

From Tripadvisor:

Overall, I think they are genuine car rental company with pretty good customer service. During my visit to Iceland in the month of Nov 2016, I booked Toyota Rav4 and the condition of the car was nice and clean and the young dude at the counter showed me the basic functions of the car. By the way, Rav4 is a good car with spacious back to load 4 big luggage.
I did not encounter any problem with them - the online booking was smooth, feedback was prompt, the car inspect was quick and return the car without any problem.
They even were flexible to accommodate my last-minute requests to add one additional days to the rental due to unpredictable weather at the east coast causing us unable to return car at Akureyri.
So, despite the comparatively higher price they charged, I would still opt for them simply because the ease of mind they gave me during my trip in the country. Thumbs up to them.

Wanted to add to the stream of praises....

From Tripadvisor:

Wanted to add to the stream of praises. This is an excellent company! They are very quick to respond to emails, and in a pinch, you can call them. I rented a Suzuki Forester 4WD from them. We showed up early in the morning, and walked to their shop from the airport. It is not inside the terminal, but only a very short distance (there are a cluster of car companies right outside the terminal).
Not sure what to say...the pickup was smooth, we drove around the entire island, dropped off the car at the parking lot after hours, and went home. No problems, no hassles, no surprise charges for non-existent damage, no scams. They are a good, honest company. I would recommend them to anyone.

We travelled for two weeks around Iceland ...

From Tripadvisor:

We travelled for two weeks around Iceland in June 2016. It was our second journey to this country. Both times we rented car from Reykjavik Rent a Car because of low price and good service. It was Suzuki Grand Vitara. This time we injured car, it was our fault but the Company changed car very quickly and we were able to continue our journey. We are very thankful to Mr. Halldor Baldvinsson for great help and humanity. Sure, to use Reykjavik Rent a Car in our future trip and recommend it to everybody.

For my 4th trip to Iceland I'll back to Reykayavik rent a car company...

From Tripadvisor:

For my 4th trip to Iceland I'll back to Reykayavik rent a car company. Because of :
-lower prices
-BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER EXISTS
-perfect conditions for your road trip (pick up, consulting,tips,ideas etc)
-good cars (we choose Suzuki Jimny, Grand Vitara and now taking Hyundai i30)
first year we´ve got a car crash but the help and support from managers was on the highest level we could even imagine.
so, it's going to be the HIGHLY RECOMMENDED company for road trip travellers.
we tried another one company next year with pretty the same prices, car was ok and that's all I can say about.
Special thanks to Mr.Magnusson and Kristian who made our trip unforgettable!

My trip to Iceland was in late April 2016...

From Tripadvisor:

My trip to Iceland was in late April 2016...
After searching through every Iceland car rental company and being horrified by the scams and bad experiences folk were having i almost cancelled my trip because I couldn't find a company that didn't do the ash damage scam that charges enormous deductible fees for the tiniest of marks? I then at the very last moment stumbled across this thread and was so relieved to see such awesome reviews of a decent respectful car rental company that is REYKJAVIK RENT A CAR that seemed to not be involved with the scam.
Feeling relieved and happy with the glowing reviews I proceeded to make a booking for my trip. I went to Iceland and rented the car which was a great car and took me all over the island flawlessly with no issues whatsoever and ended with a flawless hand over on its return, no scams, no outrageous charges for tiny marks that were already there before.
Everything went 100% perfect and gave us an amazing holiday to remember for life. I will be returning again in late October hopefully and will be renting from them again and again for sure.
I am uber happy with my experience with Reykjavik Rent a Car and will be visiting Iceland every year from now on and will definitely rent from them every time I visit Iceland. This company values your repeat business and don't operate underhand like the others do. Make sure you rent your car in Iceland with this company if you wish to have a good holiday!!
Avoid all the big names like Avis, Sixt, Europe Car etc as they all deep into the scam it so appears!

Highly recommended company! ...

From Tripadvisor:

Highly recommended company! We were at a lost on which rental company to choose since the reviews from other companies weren't that good. so, we decided to walk around the area and got lucky talking with the guys from Reykjavik Rent a Car. Since we are a group of 7 and the only car they can give us is the 11-seater Starex, they advised us to look for another since it would be a bit expensive for us. But we decided to just get the van and they were nice about it. will rent from them again if ever we come back to Iceland!

Just wanted to add to this stream of replies. ...

From Tripadvisor:

Just wanted to add to this stream of replies. My family and I, a total of 4 just got back from Iceland. We rented a a 4x4 Dacia Duster from Reykjavik Rent a car so that we could tour the country for about a week, (which we did, 2800 kilometres in fact). From the moment we got our bags and went outside they had their rep waiting there with my name on a clip board. The young man was very friendly and took us over to their rental office about a 2-minute drive from the airport. There he just took a copy of my Driver's License and card we used to make the booking. After which we went outside, we looked at the car, did a quick inspection, and he gave us some tips about the vehicle. After that we were on our merry way! That simple. No BS, no added fees, no hidden fees. Straight forward. They were very easy to deal with. We toured the country as mentioned above about 2800 km's and never once had a break down or any issues with the car. They gave us the car with a full tank which was nice, because the last thing you want to do after an 8-hr flight is stop and get gas. I have nothing but good things to say about this company, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone renting a car in Iceland. I don't know how their prices compare to others but I felt we got a good deal for a week's worth of travel in a nice safe 4x4. As mentioned in other replies their general manager Kristjan never sleeps! He answers emails often within an hour or two tops, and was very helpful and nice to deal with. So, save yourself the headache and just deal with the best. These guys will have my return business when my wife and I plan to go back to Iceland this winter.

We were a group of six ...

From Tripadvisor:

We were a group of six and hired a Mercedes Benz Vito 9 seats 4WD automatic transmission. We picked up our car at the Egilsstadir airport. Their service was excellent. I can say that they are great! I met their staff at the Reykjavik domestic airport. The staff was professional, friendly and nice. During my trip, I was once stucked in the snow. They provided me a very prompt assistance to solve out the problem when I called them in the first place. I highly recommend this company.
