The car was in an amazing condition, but the pickup process was so painful. Had to wait 45 minutes for the pickup at the airport to reach the Lava rental site and then another 90 minutes to pick up the car. Lava needs more staff to handle the demand.

Initially, I was worried about hidden charges when picking up the car. I specifically told the staff that I had already bought insurance through QEEQ, and they reassured me that there was no need to purchase additional insurance. They didn't try to upsell any services afterwards. It was a smooth and reassuring experience.

Waited ages for the car in a huge line. When we got the keys it was a 5 minute walk in torrential rain to pick up the car. Other car rentals had a bus to take them there and back. On the way back there was a bus to take us back to the terminal which was appreciated.

Used Alamo in both USA (West Coast) and Iceland. Expect upsell of insurance from Alamo's service staff at the counter, regardless of whatever insurance package you've taken. They will likely sell you: Comprehensive Insurance, Tyre Damage, 24-hr roadside assistance, prepaid fuel, prepaid tolls, windscreen cover etc etc. Each of these items are INDIVIDUAL coverage (requiring top up) and yet there is no "fully comprehensive" option that provides 1-price for all. nonetheless, they cars are generally quite new, fully featured (bluetooth, CarPlay) etc.

The queue was quite slow. If you're rushing to catch a flight, it's best to arrive early. I used Apple's built-in maps and found them more useful than Google Maps. It's important to buy full insurance and gravel insurance as stones can easily hit the car on the road.

This rental company didn't have any Toyota RAV4 models available. They gave us a Jeep Compass instead, which was dirty and old. The trunk was half the size of the RAV4's. The only upgrade option was a Toyota Land Cruiser, and it cost 600 euros extra just to fit in our three pieces of luggage. A RAV4 would have had no issues fitting them all in, and because of that, we had to spend an extra 600 euros.

I booked a 4x4 abd did not receive one. The condition of the car I received was not very good. No one to meet us at airport with a sign with my name on. Waited over an hour to finally see a guy with 10 rental car companies on it. City Car Rental was one of them. Shuttle only runs every 30 mins so very crowded and no room for luggage. Check in process was terrible. 2 customer service reps for all those companies. Waited almost 2 hours to wait to check in. So many people waiting. Returning the car was almost as bad. When ai booke with Qeeq, I thought you were the car rental company and not the agent. Next time I will go direct with the major companies ecen if I have to pay more!

1. Pickup service was not timely, had to wait at the airport for over half an hour and made several calls before someone arrived. 2. The vehicle was old and poorly maintained, broke down halfway. The car had run 268,000 kilometers and was still in use; on the second day, it indicated an oil change was needed, and on the third day, the radiator boiled over. 3. Communication was not smooth. After the oil change warning, called multiple times but the calls were abruptly cut off halfway. After the radiator issue, they answered the first call and provided timely remote guidance but did not respond to calls made after office hours. 4. The address in the contract GPS led to a repair shop, which was 2 kilometers away from the return point. An elderly person who couldn't speak English gave me a map, indicating this might not be the first time it happened. 5. Price fraud. Not sure if it's a problem with the rental platform or the car company. I rented for 5 days at an average price of around 2000 RMB per day and got an old car with 268,000 kilometers. A friend who booked on the same day rented for 3 days at an average price of 1300 RMB per day. Rental platform customer service and after-sales teams, please put yourself in a consumer's position; do your ridiculous reasons make sense?

It was smooth and systematic process for pick up as well as drop off! The vehicle, Dacia Duster had 83000 KM during pick up yet the maintenance of the car was excellent, no dents or major scratches. During pick up, the staff informed about the three minor scratches that the vehicle has and asked to click pictures and videos for reference. No problem whatsoever during drop off too. Actual process of pick up and drop off took 20-25 minutes each but due to other guests to it took time. Will definitely rent a car from Wheego whenever I plan next trips!

The service was excellent. The actual vehicle was provided by Ace Rent a Car, but the stores are together, so they seem to be jointly operated. On the fourth day, a small stone chipped the windshield, but the staff didn't ask for compensation when I returned the car! Great service! When refueling, avoid the gas station near the black sand beach in the South; the fuel there runs out quickly.

Overall pretty good. Remember to check what type of fuel the car uses; ours was diesel, so be careful not to fill it with the wrong fuel. Upon arrival, the company will say there's only basic insurance. Show them the document QEEQ prepared, or tell them that the car is insured by a domestic insurance company. The car was quite new and the system supports CarPlay. There isn't much else to mention except that I left my glasses in the car, and there's a small crack in the windshield. Be mindful of strong side winds and drive safely. Have a great journey!

I have booked cars multiple times through ZZCar and this is my first time leaving a review for AVIS, an international car rental company: During the Chinese New Year in 2019, I went on a self-driving trip to Iceland and rented a so-called Land Rover Discovery Sport through ZZCar at AVIS. The cost wasn't high, 6000 RMB for 6 days including full insurance, which seemed like a great deal. However, I ended up with a compact SUV that didn't have enough space, severely affecting the travel experience. This is a serious case of deception or consumer misleading, and other customers have reported similar experiences. The most frustrating and tormenting part was when returning the car. AVIS staff noticed a crack in the right rear mudguard and immediately charged 12000 RMB, yes, twelve thousand RMB. Everyone was shocked. How could a simple crack in a mudguard possibly cost 12000 RMB? After a long argument, the AVIS staff maintained a stiff attitude throughout, and I had no choice but to pay upfront. Fortunately, I had the full insurance and managed to claim compensation later, only losing a few hundred RMB due to the exchange rate difference, but it was still a very unpleasant experience.

Pretty good. The staff will pick you up at the airport. Buying insurance at the store seems to be cheaper than buying it here. There are detailed insurance descriptions on the table when registering information. I suggest buying insurance at the store. Additionally, there was a small incident where the rear window wiper fell off due to aging. I was worried there would be a compensation dispute, but the rental company kept apologizing once they found out.

The service from this company is very poor. They always give you the smallest car available despite your reservation. The vehicles are in poor condition and very dirty. They aggressively push insurance sales, and if you tell them you bought insurance in your own country, they mock you and claim you don't understand Iceland. There are many hidden charges, and they have no ethics when it comes to making money. Our car was rear-ended by another vehicle, and even though the other party was fully responsible and we filled out the quick settlement form, we were still charged for mutual vehicle processing fees! I've been to Iceland five times, and this company is the most unscrupulous.

The staff did not inform us of any road condition precautions when we picked up the car, and they didn't inspect the car with us. As a result, we didn't realize that the car lacked essential tools like a spare tire and a jack. Later, we got stuck in the snow on a mountain and were trapped for two hours because we didn't have a shovel or other tools. Although we had full insurance, it did not include roadside assistance. When we called for help, they wanted to charge us 650 euros. A kind passerby eventually helped us, and we immediately called the company to cancel the assistance, only 20 minutes after our first call. However, they still insisted on charging us, even though their employee allegedly came for the rescue. We had no way to confirm if they had actually been dispatched. When we returned the car, they said we had to pay a basic rescue fee of 35,000 ISK. When I tried to explain and negotiate, they directly charged my credit card without my consent and forced me to sign, then rushed us to the airport. Their attitude was extremely rude.
