Brittney Peden
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Easy pick-up and drop-off. We had a flat tire during our trip, the Car Rental and the roadside assistance were both very helpful and made the process as painless as possible.
Would definitely recommend renting!

Go Car Rental is the place to get your rental car in Iceland. They offer city pick-up and have great advice for driving around Iceland. Great service when we made a reservation mistake on return time and they did not charge us for the error. These guys are awesome.
Go with GO if you rent a car in Iceland!

Adrian Gherman
We rented a Dacia Duster car and drive 3500km around Iceland. Service was great, the car behaved as expected. The picking and dropping of the car was fast, location of the office is behind hotel Aurora, a 3-5 min walk from the terminal. The small friendly team of people, no line, our agent handled the paperwork, did the car inspection and we were driving the rental in about 7-10 minutes.
Definitely recommended.

Greg & Emma
The customer service upon our arrival into Iceland was lovely. We got some good trip recommendations and had a great cup of coffee. Our rental car was, without a doubt, the trusty steed on our Ring Road adventure, and we really appreciated the included wifi.
We ended up dropping our car off in Reykjavik instead of back at the airport and they provided a shuttle back to downtown Reykjavik. Super nice people and great service.

Very easy and straightforward car rental company.
We picked up and dropped off the rental car right behind the Keflavik airport (behind the Aurora Hotel). The staff was pleasant, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable.
