"Helpful and convenient as well as good value"

Hiring from this company was very straightforward. We were met at the airport and driven to the office so we could complete the paperwork etc there.
The car was in good condition - all dents and scratches were marked on a diagram clearly, so we had no worries that we might be blamed for a scratch we hadn't made.
We were also warned about which roads were very icy and which were OK (we were travelling in January).
Our only problem with the car was not much of a problem....just that quite a few of the studs in the tires had come out, so there were fewer than we would have liked - but the car still drove fine, even on ice, so we needn't have worried.
Arrangements at the end of our holiday were also very easy. We drove to the car-hire office and then were taken on, from there, to the airport.
Next time we come to Iceland we will use Fair Car again.

"More than fair!"

As a first time solo traveler, having a dependable car was very important to me. Being away for the amount of time I was traveling on a budget, a good price was also important to me. I am a member of triple A insurance, which comes with car rental discounts (normally around 20% off). I researched reviews, was in contact with a triple A representative who was watching prices for me and continually watched for price changes. Faircars is who I chose. It was a comparable car and beat the lowest price triple A could find. It also included GPS (some other companies charge extra). Aside from that, their other extras are really great for travelers: chairs, tents, sleeping bags, local phones etc. Another thing I liked is that the price included taxes and fees. It is what its listed as, no surprises later. I was able to pick exactly what I wanted and pay up front online with no problems. The staff is professional and polite. I emailed the first time with every question I could think of and was surprised at the quick and thorough response. I got nothing less each time we exchanged emails. I called once when my internet was not working, i was greeted with the same hospitality and professionalism. Impressive company all around. I highly recommend them! You won't beat their price vs quality so save yourself the time and stop looking. .

"Great value - great service."

Faircar rental Iceland.

We hired a small car for 6 days in April 2014. It was a Hyundai i10 – the same car as my wife owns so it was very familiar to us.

We were met just outside of arrivals with a placard with my name on it. A cheerful helpful and polite representative drove us the car depot about a 5 minute drive away. A really delightful way in which to start your holiday break.

I have hired many cars over the years – well over 100. Usually they simply hand over the keys after filling in the forms and taking your money. They also check over the car for damage.

With Faircar the give you the most thorough handing over I have ever received. They inform you of the fuel type required, give you advice on driving in Iceland, a map, details of the weather forecast, and even a Sat Nav with HOME being marked as to where to return the car. We arranged to return the car at 8.00 am six days later with a full tank of fuel. Amazing.

All of the above cost 182 euros… around £146. This was booked through economycarrentals.com (I usually use them as I find they over great service and are easily contacted if required and often cheaper to boot!!). This I believe is cheaper than booking directly with them.

Overall great value, service second to none. Superb. We strongly recommend you use them – first class.

"Probably one of the best value for money car renting company in Iceland."

If I have really good memories of Iceland, that's in part because everything gone well with the car I had rented.
Someone was waiting for me at the airport, picked me up from the airport to the company. And then, when I had the keys, I could go wherever I wanted to.
I just had to come back to the company the due date to give back the car, and the same person drove me again from the company to the airport. Perfect!

"Great Cars, Excellent Rates, Fantastic People"

2014 - We rented two different vehicles during our 2-week stay in Iceland and we were extremely satisfied with our 2 cars. Sturdy and reliable, our vehicles from FairCar made our stay really great! The rates were really good and other extras/insurance coverage provided by FairCar was comprehensive. Website was easy to use and navigate too.

More importantly, the people at FairCar made the biggest difference for us - Einar was warm, friendly & professional. Punctual when he picked us up, helpful when we kept asking him questions, Einar showed us what good customer service is. And he is now more of a friend to us than just a car rental owner! His sincere outlook made it so easy to trust him and work with him.

Thank you Einar and the team at FairCar!

We made our 2nd trip to Iceland in 2015 and we experienced the same great service from Einar and his team at FairCar!

The cars were sturdy and well-maintained, lasting us the full 2 weeks we rented them without any problems at affordable rates. We were serviced by Einar and his very warm & friendly team and it was always a pleasure to see a familiar face that offers such great service! The team went the extra mile to make the complicated things regarding the rental easy to understand and it was a smooth transaction.

No car problems, no payment complications - if and when I head back to Iceland in the future, I will definitely rent my vehicle from FairCar Iceland!

On behalf of all 8 of us,

"Best Value in Iceland!"

We hired a Nissan Qashqai for 4 days during our trip to Iceland. Einar met us at the airport and took us to get the car. Unfortunately one of the headlamps was out, but we got it fixed at a local garage and was refunded the cost. Fair car were the cheapest car rental by far and we were very happy with the service. Happy to recommend.

"Unbelievably affordable with n° 1 service."

Having worked for Hertz in the past for 5 years as station manager, I am well placed to assess car rental quality. It is important to make each customer feel special ( not an easy thing to do !) Einar and his staff did just that, a faultless performance; guaranteed studded tyres at reservation ( not available at the major rental companies ), free pick up and drop off at the airport, free GPS, the car ( astra automatic 150000 kms) in perfect working order during our 3000+ km trip around the country, and of course all the advice and tips necessary when it's your first trip to Iceland. All this for a price which enabled us on a limited budget to splash out on accomodation which was sometimes unavoidably a little costly.

We'll be back in a few years to see the Western fjords. Don't need to tell you where we'll be renting our car from.

"Easy going & reliable car rental company"

Faircar provided us with a good winter ready Hyundai Tucson 4 wheel drive with spikes. These proven to be essential on the icy roads of iceland. No problems in keeping the car on the road. Unfortunately my friend hired a car with only winter tires without spikes, that slowed us down a lot. He even skipped roads that we could easily follow.
The collection & return process was easy; the owner waited in the airport terminal and brought us to the car, we returned the car at the same spot and were brought to the terminal.

"Personal service; quality car; would definitely rent from them again"

We had to choose among several well known and lesser known/local companies. We are sure glad that we went with FairCar!! One of the owners picked us up upon arrival at the airport, oriented us to our car with studded snow tires for our December visit, gave us an Iceland map, and -very important for us- the included GPS made it easy to get around.
Other companies charge 10 euros/day for the GPS that was included for us.
Personal service made all the difference.

"Seamless, professional and friendly hire car company"

I have to say, our holiday was very dependent on a car.
We hired two Astras and have to say they were awesome! Yes they have a few miles on the clock, but regardless, they were fantastic little run arounds (and competed well with the bigger hire cars)
Einar also was awesome! We had a problem with one of the cars, and with a flash he came to the rescue and delivered us a replacement. A very friendly guy who ran our hire seamlessly!

So on behalf of us all, thank you Einar and Faircar for completing our holiday :)
