Excellent customer service, clear pricing and booking process was super easy.

People very Nice
Shuttle from the airport is very fast
If I have the chance to come back again I will sure book a car here !
Experience was great, pickup and drop off was nice and easy. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Everything was perfect - my family really enjoyed the car, and the customer service works perfectly. I could even manage my booking and make changes, receiving in short notice back part of my payment back.
Fabulous experience with Lava Car Rental. Came to Iceland for 4 days in December with my boyfriend. When we arrived at the airport a shuttle was outside waiting for us to take us to collect the car. Was a smooth process, went inside signed a waiver then got the keys. Car was brilliant and equipped well for Icelands weather. Drop off was also a breeze then they took us back to the airport. Would defo recommend.
Great service and the Wi-Fi purchase on top was perfect
Wonderful service y best cars. I was ok is my visit to iceland
This was our first time renting from Lava Car Rental primarily for their reviews. In our past two trips to Iceland, the first being planned by Nordic Visitor in Reykjavik and the second trip we rented at the airport, also good. Although our car was changed upon our very early morning arrival, it was still the same model I reserved so that was fine. They have a large selection and I was particularly looking for a vehicle with studded snow tires as this rental was in early December with snow and ice. They're very accommodating and there were no extra fees for this.
We plan to return to Iceland and when we do we'll start with Lava Car Rental first as we know they're trustworthy and their customer service team are great.
I bought the Full Insurance Protection package for peace of mind having previous driving knowledge of the Iceland roads in Summer and being December, I knew the weather and roads could be challenging.
All that was promised was infact as it should be. Very nice and very satisfied!
Absolutely recommend Lava Car Rental. I read so many company reviews before finally decided on Lava - and I’m so glad we did! The airport pick up is fantastic and only a very short ride away from the airport. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive and the car selection is vast! 100% opt for the full insurance package to put your mind at ease and know that you’re fully covered. The check out was a breeze and I will 100% be recommending them to anyone travelling here and can’t wait to come back!
I travel to Iceland a lot, and this is my go-to rental car company. I think I've rented from them 8 or 9 times. Pick-up is always easy (just remember to go to the DEPARTURES area outside to be picked up), it's just a short ride from the airport, and I usually get the car I want or one very similar. Plus, out of all the companies, I have consistently found them to offer the lowest rental prices.
When we arrived in Iceland at the airport the pick up service was there within 20 minutes. We were at Lava quickly, which was great. The vehicle that we were supposed to rent was not available. We ended up with a Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid. Great car, lots of room for everybody and our luggage. The only downside was the tank was not even half full, even though they said it would be full. When we returned the car, everything went very smoothly. We were in and out and at the airport within 20 minutes. We were very impressed with the staff overall.Made for a great trip in Iceland!
Really helpful sorting the car and checking in during rental. Car was set up perfectly for the conditions with winter tyres, the addition of the fuel discount was a bonus.
Only down side is in the airport you don’t get the shuttle where the sign suggests, keep going to the left. We also found only one person collecting people which with quite a few people to be picked up meant them racing to get in first leading to quite a cold wait outside or risk staying in the warm until the next shuttle and other people jumping you to get it first.
Brilliant car rental company. Friendly. Good pick up/drop off service and close to airport. Super helpful throughout the process. No issues at all.
Excellent service. No problems anywhere along the way.
Booking efficient. We were picked up promptly in shuttle bus from airport and taken to office to collect car. Shuttle bus easy to find. Only queued for short time to drop car off then taken to airport swifly by very cheery helpful guy.
Car was lovely, well looked after with good grip 4WD and studded tyres to help us feel safe on the icy roads.
Good value for money.
Would definately recommend
Found the hire process with Lava really good, communication was excellent and having a video of where to go in the airport was really helpful.
Advice from the team was great and they were friendly and knowledgable.
Drop off was easy and we’d definitely hire from Lava again
