Lava Car Rental Reviews

It was our first Rental in Iceland and everything was very good and without any problems. Honest prices and also they give the car with the full tank wich i find very good. The car was a Suzuki S Cross very reliable and comfortable for driving in Iceland. Would rent again with Lava. Michele

We found Lava Car easy and friendly to deal with and the prices were reasonable. Would use again and recommend.

Quick easy pick up from departures. Drive very nice. Set up for a Rav4 but got a Suzuki. It was fine and a hybrid so saved on gas. Pretty high mileage at 110,000 km.

Good car rental with good price

We recently rented a Toyota Rav 4x4 for our trip to Iceland. The experience was quite good. The WiFi device made travel around Iceland very easy and the spiked tires gave us the confidence to travel when conditions were not as favorable. We would use this company again if we were to return based on this experience.

Great !!! The car was clean , all was easy !!! I had a problem with windshield but no problem with the assurance…

Really straightforward booking, pick up and drop off, everyone was super helpful when communicating and the car was just as described

Our trip was fine with a good car, pick up at the airport was really friendly but the checkout wasn't unfortunately,the reception was very cold. I've reported at checkout that the tank was not full when we took possession of the car and no commercial gesture was offered.

very kind, great service, everything perfect

Easy booking process Very reasonable hire charges Car as described Shuttle between the airport and car pick up Refreshments available Highly recommend

We had rented also for security reasons a Toyota Landcruiser, normally a safe car. - But unfortunately the spike tires were probably too old, then there were hardly any spikes to be seen any more. With a little luck we managed a few icy situations without accident, but it was definitely "not harmless"...

Servizio impeccabile. Sono arrivati a prenderci in aeroporto con la navetta dopo pochissimo e ci hanno fatto un upgrade gratuito. Prezzi competitivi, nulla da invidiare ad altre compagnie di noleggio. Mi è stata consigliata da un amico e io ho già fatto lo stesso.

Second time we rent a Jimny in Iceland and second time with Lava Car ! (One month first time,and then 10 days) We love you guys :D. If all car rental companies could be that simple/straight forward/good quality ! Best car rental company i used so far. No doubt we will come there again with you.

We were picked up at the airport and transported to the car rental office to acquire the Tesla Model Y. All went smoothly. The car had a minor tire leak that was quickly repaired. The rental was for a week and we had no problems with the car. We will rent from Lava Car Rental again and we recommend the company.

It was our first experience in renting a car on our holiday and Lava Car rental has made it a breeze. When we landed, we've made it to the pick up point (watch the youtube instructions video, its really helpful). Unfortunately, we must have just missed a pick up, so ive called on the number provided and were picked up 20min later. It's a 5min transfer to the office. There is a bathroom and coffee/tea. Collection was quick. Car was immaculate in and out. We didn't purchase additional insurance and thankfully didn't need it. You receive 2 phobs for fuel discount: N1 and OB, but shop around as even with discount (about 3 krona per litre) it wasn't always the cheapest. If you exploring the south then Sefloss has cheapest fuel at OB with the phob. After that the prices only go up. We had 4x4 Dacia (90%of cars in Iceland are Dacias) for the winter roads and it performed beautifully in a snow, on and off main road. We drove a lot, there aren't restrictions on the km which if very useful as you will cover a lot of ground. We've removed all the rubbish, didn't need to hoover or wash the car, they do it for you. Our car had quite a lot of dirt due to the weather, but they didn't mind it. Note: when you book and select drop off time, choose the very latest you would drop off as you will be expected to drop off within an hour of booked time or you will be charged for an extra day. You get transfer to the airport without any delay. Again, only 5 min. Also, there is a petrol station right next to the Lava office. You will need to return it with the full tank ( as it is given with the full tank). We will be back and we will definitely use them again! Thoroughly recommend!

We rented a car in early March 2025; pick up and transfer back to the airport (at 2 am!) were as presented and promised. We did not have any problems, and that is also to be appreciated, since it means that the car was properly mentained. We drove through several days of snow storms, strong wind storms and icy roads. We were happy to rent from a family owned business, and we will certainly come back when in Iceland next.

We had booked a Susuzki Vitara for 4 people for a week, but got a Susuzki S-cross, which was not a big problem just unexpected. The windshield wipers were shit and one of the doors was a bit creaky, but other than that we had no problems. Pick-up and drop-off of the car went smooth (within office hours), was just a bit difficult to understand where the shuttle pick-up location at the airport was, as it was not with all the other car rental companies, but by the departures drop-off.

Simple booking, reasonable price, exactly the right car (Dacia Duster) with studded tyres, quick pick up and drop off, would definitely use Lava again.

Car booked few months in advance with free up to 24 hours cancellation in case plans change. Great customer service - emailed few times with additional questions re insurance etc, every time reply with information asked. Easy pick-up and drop-off at the airport. Fast check in/out. Got free upgrade, happy with car and service. Defo would use again 😃

Excellent service throughout, prompt, informative, friendly. Lovely car supplied, very economical. Would use again if we were to return to Iceland.
