"Alquilamos desde España un coche para…"

Alquilamos desde España un coche para pasar unos días por Islandia, nos salió en la pàgina que el coche iba a ser un Toyota aigo de 5 puertas y nos dieron un Ford Ka de 3 puertas más pequeño, aparte que en el aeropuerto de keflavik aparecieron 20 minutos después de la hora acordada habiéndoles llamado previamente. Honestamente, no lo recomiendo

"AWFUL CAR RENTAL PLACE"

We were waiting for the shuttle to take us to the rental office and were the first family the driver acknowledged us and told us to wait. He went in and got a whole bunch more people who beat us the van, filled it and then left us 6 stranded for another 30 min. 2 seniors in the group could not walk fast enough and the driver didn't care. The car my son and daughter in law were given was awful. Taillight light falling off, no working USB ports, over 225,000 miles. Never again and beware. Not friendly staff and hard sell on the extras.

"Helpful staff"

I was helped by Anita when I picked up my rental car and she went above and beyond, she showed me all 3 of the cars available to me in the class I rented and I was able to choose the one that best fit my family and luggage. When I dropped off the car I was helped by Klara and she was was very helpful and efficient so drop off was a breeze.

"PLEASE DONT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!"

TOURISTS PLEASE DONT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!

First of all once you land on Iceland you have to wait 1hr to even get to the headquarters. The people that pick you up are RUDE.

We ordered a 4x4 and they have us an old DACIA with 183.480km with rusty and smooth tires. We asked them to give us a new car. They gave us the same car with less rusty tires but with 198.456km and low pressure tires. Even though we told him those tires aren’t adequate for Iceland they told us it is. 4 days into the trip we popped a tire. The EXACT tire we told them it was not adequate.

I CANT BELIEVE THIS COMPANY ISNT OUT OF BUSINESS!!

I would recommend everyone to pay for a better company. At the end of the day what comes out cheap isn’t always worth it.

"Rented a jeep type for a week in Iceland"

Rented a jeep type for a week in Iceland and paying €800. The company then wanted me to sign a full insurance for €230, as when I signed it understood was not a full insurance after all. And what did I get: an old Dacia duster bungled and ugly.
Keep clear

"Dreadful company"

Took out insurance with the booking website rather than Fair Car, had to pay a £2700 deposit on pickup as a result. Returned the almost new car clean and undamaged and was then told it was damaged, 3 miniscule stone chips, repair cost estimate £3800 subsequently reduced to £2400. Read the earlier review by Max, exactly the same experience a couple of weeks before me. There is no point arguing, you are 5 miles from the airport on an industrial estate, flight to catch. Fair Car were well practiced at supplying all the documentation you need to claim from your insurer.
So your choices with this company are either a new car you will need to wrap in cotton wool, or some million mile junker that may leave you stranded. I parked up next to some rusty blue thing that I assumed was a staff car until someone with a clipboard started looking over it.
It's been 6 weeks now and I'm still waiting for my insurer to settle. They have received an unexpectedly large number of claims this year. I wonder why?
So, an expensive, unresolved lesson for me. Do yourself a favour, don't be me.
Edit 18/07/23, HolidayCars.com have now settled the claim without any fuss so big 5 star thank you to them. Maybe they will remove Fair Car from their offerings roster.

"Great time in Iceland"

Cars are a bit old and used, but ours worked flawlessly during our 5 day trip. The trade off is that they offer competitive prices.

Our drop off was easy and fast thanks to Klara and Amanda!
