What Trustpilot reviews say
A breakdown of Trustpilot reviews for every Iceland campervan rental company — scores, common themes, and what renters consistently mention.
Happy Campers
Rating snapshot
Happy Campers holds a 4.1-star rating from 158 Trustpilot reviews, with 74% 5-star reviews and 10% 1-star reviews. One caveat worth knowing: the company's own responses flag that some negative reviews appear to be misdirected from a different "Happy Camper" business unrelated to Iceland, which means the raw score may slightly overstate Iceland-specific problems.
What reviewers praise
- Warm, memorable staff interactions -- the single most repeated theme across recent reviews, with multiple reviewers naming specific team members by name and describing genuinely helpful, friendly handoffs
- Smooth pickup and return logistics -- the airport shuttle cycle and check-in process come up repeatedly as low-stress and well-organized
- Local tips at handoff -- staff regularly share trip advice at pickup, which reviewers mention as a practical bonus for first-time Iceland visitors
- Vans that work as a real home base -- reviewers describe the kit as genuinely usable for cooking stops, tea breaks, and multi-day road trips, not just sleeping
What reviewers complain about
- Vehicle age and condition -- the most common frustration is not a breakdown but a mismatch between expectations and the actual van: older bodywork, rust, worn curtains, and tired tires show up across multiple reviews
- Inconsistent service when something goes wrong -- a smaller but more pointed pattern involves unclear insurance explanations, unhelpful interactions at the meeting point, and poor handling of edge cases like late returns or equipment failures
- Feeling like you drew the short straw -- some renters note their van felt like the oldest or least-maintained in the fleet, even if the trip itself was fine
Notable reviews
Warm welcome from Denisa, great trip tips at pickup, and a smooth return -- exactly what you want from a rental. -- Trustpilot reviewer, April 2026
Clean van, easy pickup and return, everything you need for the road. I've rented with them before and would again. -- Repeat renter, May 2026
The staff and shuttle were great and the price was fair, but I'm pretty sure we got the oldest Caddy in the fleet. -- 4-star reviewer, May 2026
The trip itself was wonderful, but the help at the meeting point was minimal, the inverter didn't work, and late-return handling was handled poorly. -- 2-star reviewer, March 2026
The 4-star review above is particularly useful for trip planning: it suggests that Happy Campers delivers on the fundamentals -- staff, shuttle, price -- but that van condition is genuinely variable across the fleet.
Bottom line
Happy Campers delivers a net positive experience for most renters, driven by a friendly team, clean logistics, and vans that are practical for Iceland road trips. The 4.1-star Trustpilot score puts it in solid-but-not-standout territory: if you get a good van and a smooth trip, reviewers tend to love it. If something goes sideways -- an older vehicle, an equipment issue, an edge-case return -- the service recovery is inconsistent enough that a minority of renters come away frustrated. For budget-conscious travelers who prioritize staff warmth and operational ease over a pristine vehicle, Happy Campers is a reliable pick. For travelers who want assurance about vehicle condition, it's worth setting expectations accordingly.
CampEasy
Rating snapshot
4.9 out of 5 from 668 reviews -- 95% 5-star, less than 1% 1-star. This is the strongest rating profile in the Iceland camper rental space, and the volume is large enough to take seriously.
What reviewers praise
- Staff quality stands out above everything else -- reviewers consistently describe the team as warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making the trip work
- The onboarding tablet loaded with routes, weather alerts, road conditions, and a chat line is cited repeatedly as a differentiator that actually gets used on the road
- Vehicles feel purpose-built for Iceland, not just rental-fleet generic -- reviewers note the fit-out, kitchenware, and overall thoughtfulness of the equipment
- Winter capability gets unusually strong praise: heaters, insulation quality, and 4x4 performance in snow are mentioned far more often than at comparable vendors
- The handoff process -- airport greeting, walkthrough, and the sense that staff want you to succeed before you drive off -- is a consistent high point
- Trip support beyond the rental -- weather guidance, route suggestions, and responsive chat during the trip are treated as part of the product, not an afterthought
What reviewers complain about
- Breakdowns, when they happen, have been serious -- not frequent in the review pool, but the rare negative review describes genuine safety concerns, not minor inconveniences
- Replacement vehicle timing during breakdowns has disappointed some customers -- the gap between "24/7 assistance" as marketed and the actual response window during a real mechanical failure
- Missed plans due to vehicle issues -- when something goes wrong, the downstream cost in a place like Iceland (remote locations, time-sensitive road conditions) can be significant
Notable reviews
Smooth, hassle-free rental process -- everything from start to finish was seamless. -- 5-star review, May 2026
Our home on wheels. The heating worked perfectly, the kitchenware was complete, and the staff went out of their way to help us plan the trip. -- 5-star review, April 2023
Fantastic from start to finish. The airport greeting, the tablet with maps and road info, the chat support on the road -- we're already planning to book again. -- 5-star review, November 2022
Serious malfunctions endanger lives. We had two breakdowns in remote areas. The "24/7 assistance" did not match what we experienced waiting for a replacement. Missed plans we cannot get back. -- 1-star review, November 2022
Bottom line
CampEasy is the clearest premium option among Iceland camper rental companies on Trustpilot. The praise isn't just high-volume -- it's unusually specific and consistent, with customers describing a company that thought carefully about the Iceland context: the cold, the remoteness, the need for good information on the road. The built-in tablet, the winter-ready vehicles, and the staff quality are genuine differentiators.
The one honest caveat: the rare breakdown complaint is serious. CampEasy's tail risk is low-probability but high-consequence, and if you're considering a winter trip to remote areas, it's worth reading the critical reviews carefully and understanding what their actual breakdown response looks like in practice. For most travelers -- especially first-timers or anyone doing winter Iceland -- the overall case for CampEasy is strong.
KuKu Campers
Rating snapshot
3.8 / 5 on Trustpilot from 2 reviews -- both 5-star. That combination (sub-4.0 score, all visible reviews positive) usually means hidden or removed negative reviews are dragging the average down, though with a sample this small it is impossible to say with confidence. Treat this rating as essentially uninformative.
What reviewers praise
- Good value pricing relative to what you get
- Unlimited mileage included in the base rate
- Free additional drivers -- a meaningful saving over competitors who charge per day
- Cooking gear included, so you are not scrambling to source it separately
- Vehicle condition described as newish and decent inside
- Fair handling of issues -- at least one reviewer noted compensation was offered for a minor problem without any pushback
What reviewers complain about
No negative reviews are visible on Trustpilot. This is not the same as saying there are no complaints -- with only two reviews on record, the sample tells you almost nothing. Do not interpret the absence of complaints here as a clean track record.
Notable reviews
Incroyable aventure -- attractive pricing, unlimited mileage, free extra drivers, cooking gear included. Great experience overall. -- 5-star review, July 2023
Servicio bueno, furgones nuevo -- new vans, good interior, and they compensated us for a small issue without us having to push for it. -- 5-star review, November 2021
Bottom line
KuKu's Trustpilot presence is too thin to be useful as a decision-making tool. The two visible reviews are positive and touch on genuinely appealing features -- unlimited mileage, free extra drivers, included cooking gear -- but two data points prove nothing. If you are comparing KuKu seriously against Happy Campers, CampEasy, or Go Campers, weight their Trustpilot scores far more heavily and look to Google Reviews or travel forums for a fuller picture of KuKu's actual reliability.
Cozy Campers
Rating snapshot
4.8 / 5 based on approximately 40--42 reviews on Trustpilot. The sample is small compared to larger operators like CampEasy or Rent.is, but the consistency is striking -- nearly every review lands at 5 stars, with almost no noise in between.
What reviewers praise
- Genuinely warm, cozy vans -- reviewers use words like "magical" and specifically call out that the vehicles feel lived-in and comfortable rather than bare-bones rental units
- Very friendly, low-stress staff -- the pickup and return process is repeatedly described as uncomplicated and human
- The sunroof aurora experience -- this comes up enough to feel like a signature feature; multiple reviewers specifically mention watching the northern lights from inside the van
- Strong problem resolution -- one reviewer had a heater failure and Cozy covered a hotel night and delivered a replacement van the next morning, turning a bad situation into a trust-builder
- Price-performance ratio -- described as fair for what you get, not budget-basement but not overpriced
What reviewers complain about
- Location relative to Keflavik Airport -- the one sharp negative review flags that the pickup point is inconvenient to reach from KEF, with no easy transfer option
- Off-hours support gaps -- limited help available outside business hours when things go wrong
- Dead battery with no meaningful recourse -- the same negative reviewer describes a dead-battery incident that cost them significantly despite having top-tier insurance coverage
It bears repeating: the negative signal here comes almost entirely from one 1-star review. That review is pointed and specific, but it is not corroborated by other reviewers.
Notable reviews
Everything was perfect -- magical, cozy experience. -- 5-star review, March 2026
Big recommendation. Very friendly and uncomplicated process. -- 5-star review, April 2026
Perfect price-performance ratio. -- 5-star review, April 2026
STAY AWAY -- distance from KEF, no real off-hours help, dead battery cost us a fortune despite full insurance. -- 1-star review, February 2025
Bottom line
Cozy Campers punches well above its size. If the sunroof aurora experience or a genuinely warm aesthetic matters to you, this operator delivers something distinct that the more utilitarian rental companies simply don't offer. Staff friendliness and a real willingness to fix problems mid-trip (see: the hotel-night recovery) suggest an owner-operated culture that larger fleets can't always match.
The honest caveat is volume: ~40 reviews is a thin evidence base, and one bad experience carries more statistical weight than it would at a company with hundreds of reviews. The KEF pickup logistics complaint is also worth checking directly before you book -- if you're arriving at Keflavik late at night, confirm exactly how the transfer works and what happens if something goes wrong after hours.
Go Campers
Rating snapshot
4.1 / 5 from 87 reviews (June 2026), with 77% 5-star and 15% 1-star. The polarised distribution is the tell: most customers leave happy, but the unhappy minority is proportionally larger than at the top-rated Iceland operators.
What reviewers praise
- Friendly, knowledgeable staff who take time to explain road rules, F-road conditions, and local weather before you drive away
- Hassle-free upgrades and vehicle swaps -- multiple reviewers received a better vehicle than booked with no drama
- Vehicles that handle Iceland's conditions well, including reliable winter-road performance
- Responsive email support when something comes up before or during the trip
- Short, convenient airport transfer process
What reviewers complain about
- Unclear or frustrating pickup logistics, particularly airport collection directions
- Curt, disengaged staff interactions -- the single most consistent complaint is that some employees feel transactional rather than helpful
- Disputes over fuel levels and return charges, with at least one reviewer reporting they felt accused of dishonesty
- Service quality that feels inconsistent depending on which staff member you get
Notable reviews
Amazing experience with Go -- detailed explanations of road rules and conditions, and the vehicle was completely reliable throughout the trip. -- 5-star, December 2025
Smooth upgrade from a Duster to a Land Cruiser with no hassle, and their email support was responsive every time I reached out. -- 5-star, December 2025
When the Android Auto and satnav were faulty they swapped the vehicle immediately, no questions asked. Handled winter roads brilliantly after that. -- 5-star, November 2025
Horrible customer service. A dispute over one bar of fuel turned into an accusation of lying. The airport pickup was frustrating on top of that. -- 1-star, November 2025
The car itself was reliable and did the job. But the employees came across as curt and unengaged -- not what you expect when you're paying a premium for Iceland. -- 4-star, December 2025
Bottom line
GO Campers is a solid mid-tier choice -- the vehicles are capable, upgrades and swaps are handled well, and most customers finish the trip satisfied. Where it lags behind the best-rated operators is in the human side of the transaction: Iceland rental companies are often praised precisely for being warm and advisory, and GO Campers reviews split sharply on whether you get that experience or a curt, by-the-book interaction instead. If you book here, the practical side is unlikely to let you down; the customer-service tone is more of a lottery than it should be at this price point.
Rent.is
Rating snapshot
4.7 / 5 from 969 reviews -- one of the higher-volume review bases among Iceland camper rental companies. 78% 5-star and just 5% 1-star.
What reviewers praise
- Speed and simplicity -- fast airport shuttle, quick paperwork, and a checkout process that reviewers consistently describe as painless
- Value for money -- repeatedly cited as competitive against other Iceland options, especially given included or available gear
- Responsive staff -- flexibility with extensions and last-minute changes (flight reschedules, extra days) comes up often
- Adequate vehicle condition -- most renters report vans that are clean, functional, and well-kitted for the trip
What reviewers complain about
- Older fleet -- some vans feel rattly or well-worn, which bothers renters expecting a more polished vehicle
- Tired linens and equipment -- stained or worn soft furnishings appear in moderate-criticism reviews
- Incomplete handovers -- instructions at pickup can be sparse, leaving renters to figure out gear themselves
- Minor mechanical and equipment annoyances -- small issues (nothing catastrophic) that suggest some vehicles need closer pre-trip attention
Notable reviews
5 day VW California Camper hire -- warm, complete equipment, easy parking, smooth pickup. Exactly what we needed. -- 5-star review, late May 2026
On-time shuttle, clean van, and when our flight got rescheduled they let us extend without fuss. Excellent experience. -- 5-star review, April 2026
Good equipment and fair pricing for a rooftop-tent Duster. Straightforward from start to finish. -- 5-star review, May 2026
Liked the service and price but the van rattled and the linens had seen better days. Fine for the money, just not pristine. -- 3-star review, summer 2025
Bottom line
Rent.is is the definition of a "no drama" rental. It won't give you the boutique warmth of CampEasy or the cult following of Cozy, but what it delivers reliably is: fast process, reasonable prices, and a van that gets you around Iceland without incident. The large review volume at a sustained 4.7 is a meaningful signal -- this many people giving four and five stars is harder to fake than a smaller, curated set. If your priority is efficiency and value over luxury, Rent.is earns its spot near the top of the shortlist. Go in expecting a practical, slightly aged fleet and you will almost certainly leave satisfied.
Lava Car Rental
Rating snapshot
4.2 / 5 from 3,728 reviews (as of June 2026), making Lava one of the most-reviewed camper rental operators on Icelandic Trustpilot. The volume is the headline -- nearly 3,700 data points is harder to dismiss than a polished 5.0 from a handful of customers.
What reviewers praise
- Fast airport transfers and collection -- the most consistently mentioned positive, with reviewers repeatedly describing pickup as smooth and quick
- Competitive pricing -- value-for-money comes up often, with customers noting they got more car for less money than alternatives
- Clean vehicles and an easy, low-friction rental process at scale
- Simple return procedures, including early-morning dropoffs with no friction
- Debit card acceptance -- a practical differentiator that matters for travelers who don't carry a credit card
- Occasional free upgrades, which some reviewers noted made a real difference in challenging Icelandic weather conditions
What reviewers complain about
- Inconsistent vehicle condition -- cars described as "far from new," with freshness varying noticeably between rentals
- Support during incidents -- the most serious complaints involve difficulty reaching anyone when something goes wrong roadside; one reviewer reported a two-hour window with no phone or email response during a tire problem
- The overall experience reads as functional rather than warm -- the service works, but it's a scaled operator, not a boutique one, and that shows in the emotional tone of reviews
Notable reviews
Smooth from start to finish -- spotless 4WD, quick pickup, easy early-morning dropoff. Nothing to complain about. -- 5-star, January 2026
Price was cheaper and there was no real difference in the vehicle. Good value and freedom throughout the trip. -- 4-star, March 2026
The car was far from new, but the experience still went well overall. -- 4-star, June 2025
We feel alone, with no help. Tire problem, full insurance, but nobody answered calls or emails for two hours. -- 1-star, April 2025 (Lava responded noting email reply had gone out within 30 minutes -- a dispute that itself illustrates the support communication gap)
Bottom line
Lava Car Rental is the right choice if you want a large, established operator with a proven process and strong value pricing. The scale of its review base -- nearly 3,700 reviews at 4.2 stars -- is genuinely reassuring for the core experience: airport pickup, clean car, easy return. Where it falls short of top-tier is on vehicle freshness consistency and what happens when something goes sideways. If your trip goes normally, you'll likely leave satisfied. If you hit a problem, the support experience is a known weak point. Debit card acceptance is a useful bonus for travelers without credit cards. Think of Lava as the dependable mid-tier operator -- not the most polished, but broadly reliable at a price that justifies the tradeoff.
Indie Campers
Rating snapshot
Indie Campers has 23,406 reviews on Trustpilot -- by far the largest review volume of any vendor on this page. The visible distribution shows 62% 5-star and 16% 1-star, which sounds decent until you read the fine print: the profile currently carries a Trustpilot guideline breach flag, and it's a merged global profile covering depots across Europe, Iceland, North America, and beyond. That makes the aggregate number a poor signal for Iceland specifically.
What reviewers praise
- Easy, friction-free booking process -- the most consistent positive across recent reviews
- Wide vehicle selection, with multiple camper sizes and configurations available
- Good price-to-quality ratio in many cases, particularly for travelers who had smooth trips
- Clean, well-equipped vans when preparation goes right -- a recent Iceland-labeled 5-star review specifically praised a van that was easy to drive and had everything needed for the trip
What reviewers complain about
- Poorly maintained or broken vehicles -- mechanical and equipment failures appear repeatedly in 1-star reviews
- Sanitation and prep issues -- dirty vans, missing kit items, and fridges that don't work show up often enough to be a pattern
- Support failures when things go wrong -- compensation handling described as disappointing; escalation paths unclear
- Review-gating behavior -- at least one reviewer noted the site blocked access to booking details until a review was submitted, which is likely what triggered the Trustpilot guideline flag
- Global noise problem -- because the profile is merged, you cannot easily tell whether any given complaint is about the Iceland depot or a location in Portugal or Canada
Notable reviews
Clean, well-equipped camper that was easy to drive. Only minor thing -- no stovetop kettle, but otherwise a great trip. -- 5-star, Iceland-labeled, May 2026
Our honeymoon was majorly impacted. The vehicle was dirty, the fridge was malfunctioning, several kit items were missing, and when we raised it, the compensation offered was deeply disappointing. -- 1-star, September 2025
The website did not let me access my booking details otherwise [without leaving a review]. -- 5-star rating, but flagging a process complaint that speaks directly to why the profile has a guideline breach notice
Bottom line
Indie Campers is a large, professional operator with real Iceland presence, and when a trip goes smoothly, reviewers are genuinely happy. But the Trustpilot profile is structurally unreliable for Iceland-specific research: it's global, merged, currently flagged for a guideline breach, and polarized enough that the 5-star and 1-star tails tell very different stories. The 16% 1-star rate is not negligible for a company this size, and the complaint patterns -- dirty vans, broken equipment, poor resolution -- are exactly the things that hurt most when you're mid-trip in a remote country. Use this page as a rough directional signal, not a verdict. If Iceland depot quality is your main concern, cross-reference with Google Reviews for the Reykjavik location specifically, and weight Iceland-only operators' Trustpilot pages more heavily in your comparison.
PK Campers
Rating snapshot
No verified Trustpilot profile for PK Campers could be identified. A rating and review count cannot be reported here without fabricating data.
What reviewers praise
Not assessable -- no corroborated Trustpilot source was located for PK Campers.
What reviewers complain about
Not assessable -- same reason as above.
Notable reviews
No representative reviews are available from a confirmed PK Campers Trustpilot profile.
Bottom line
PK Campers does not appear to have a verifiable Trustpilot presence, or their profile is too sparse to surface reliably. If Trustpilot reviews matter to your decision, search directly on trustpilot.com for "PK Campers" before booking -- the picture may have changed. For now, weight your research toward their own site, Google Reviews, and community forums.
McRent
Rating snapshot
McRent holds a 3.1 out of 5 from 73 reviews on Trustpilot, with a striking 55% of reviews being 1-star. That number demands immediate context: McRent operates as a multi-country franchise spanning the UK, Ireland, Portugal, Iceland, and more. The Trustpilot page aggregates all of them into a single score. Treat the overall rating as franchise-wide noise, not an Iceland verdict.
What reviewers praise
- Location-specific staff quality stands out -- strong depots get genuinely warm reviews focused on attentive handovers and well-maintained vehicles
- Customers who had good experiences consistently highlight personalized service from local depot teams rather than anything about the brand itself
- Some reviewers praise vehicle size and equipment when the fleet is in good shape at their location
What reviewers complain about
- Damage and deposit disputes are the most common complaint across the franchise -- customers report being charged for pre-existing marks or damages they say they did not cause
- Vehicles arriving in poor condition -- interior wear, odors, and cleanliness issues appear across multiple depots
- Weak post-issue support -- headquarters responses described as dismissive when complaints are escalated beyond the local depot
- For Iceland specifically: a lengthy return inspection process combined with requirements to wash and empty the vehicle before handback drew pointed criticism
- The franchise structure means a bad experience at one depot gets no real remedy from the center
Notable reviews
McRent in Iceland found two damages not done by us... the return inspection took a very long time and we had to wash and empty the motorhome before giving it back. -- 1-star review, July 2023, Iceland location
It very much depends on the location -- McRent London was exceptional and I would not want people to generalize from bad reviews at other depots. -- 5-star review, September 2025, London location
Pickup took six hours, the vehicle smelled, the interior was worn, and when we contacted headquarters they were completely dismissive. -- 1-star review, December 2025, Porto location
Bottom line
McRent's Trustpilot page is arguably the least useful rating in this comparison for Iceland-specific decision-making. The score reflects franchise variance across multiple countries more than it reflects what you will actually experience at the Reykjavik depot. The one Iceland-specific signal visible in the reviews is negative -- a damage dispute and frustrating return process. If you are considering McRent for Iceland, dig for Iceland-specific feedback on forums and travel communities rather than relying on this aggregate score. The franchise structure means your mileage will vary enormously by depot, and the overall 3.1 stars obscures that reality entirely.
Camper Rental Iceland
Rating snapshot
4.7 / 5 from 26 Trustpilot reviews (as of June 2026). The review pool is small, so individual experiences carry more weight than they would for a larger fleet. That said, the trend line is clearly positive -- recent reviews are meaningfully stronger than older ones.
Identity note: the closest Trustpilot match found was Campericeland on campericeland.is. Because the profile label does not exactly match, this is treated as a probable but not certain match.
What reviewers praise
- Named staff members -- Felix and Sebastian come up repeatedly as standout employees who go out of their way to make the handoff smooth
- Airport pickup logistics -- the collection process at Keflavik is described as easy and well-organized
- Vehicle condition (recent) -- newer reviewers consistently describe vehicles as clean and in good shape, with one calling the camper "like-new"
- Clear pre-trip walkthroughs -- detailed explanations of equipment, layouts, and on-road use are specifically mentioned
- WhatsApp responsiveness -- fast replies during the trip itself, not just at the booking stage
What reviewers complain about
- Worn interiors -- older reviews flagged tired, dated vehicle interiors that didn't match expectations
- Empty or missing gas bottles -- at least one reviewer found the gas supply not ready on pickup
- Refund and dispute resolution -- complaints about slow or unsatisfying resolution after damage disputes
- Misleading optional add-ons -- one reviewer found that a foldable baby bed booked as an extra was not functional as described
- Late-arrival fees -- a fee for arriving outside the agreed window caught at least one renter off guard
- Strict return inspections -- damage scrutiny on return was described as aggressive in older reviews
Notable reviews
PERFECT EXPERIENCE. Felix met us at the airport, the camper was like new, and every time we messaged on WhatsApp during the trip we got a fast reply. Could not have asked for more. -- 5-star, May 2026
Sebastian is a super star -- honestly he made the whole trip. The handoff was seamless and he answered every question we had. -- 5-star, September 2025
We do not recommend this company. The interior was worn, the gas bottle was empty, and the dispute after we returned took weeks and was not resolved fairly. -- 1-star, November 2021
I do not recommend! The baby bed option we paid for was completely unusable. Then we were charged a late-arrival fee that was never clearly explained at booking. -- 1-star, November 2019
Bottom line
Camper Rental Iceland has a small but currently encouraging Trustpilot presence. If you're booking for a trip in the near future, the recent pattern -- attentive staff, clean vehicles, solid on-trip support -- is genuinely reassuring. The older complaints about worn gear, surprise fees, and post-return disputes are worth knowing about, but they cluster in 2019--2021 and the more recent record looks like a real improvement.
One practical caveat: 26 reviews is a thin sample. A single bad experience can shift the average noticeably, and you can't read too much into any one trend. Cross-check with Google Reviews and travel forums before booking, and make sure any extras (baby beds, gas, equipment add-ons) are confirmed explicitly in writing before arrival.
Geysir Car Rental
Rating snapshot
- TrustScore 3.2 / 5, labeled "Average" -- across 36 Trustpilot reviews for the geysir.is car-rental brand (profile claimed September 2017). Note that Geysir runs its campers under a sister brand, Motorhome.is, which carries its own separate (and higher) review presence -- the numbers here are the geysir.is car-rental score.
- Heavily polarized, bimodal profile -- 18 of 36 reviews are 1-star (50%) while 12 are 5-star (33%); only 3 four-star, 1 three-star, and 2 two-star. Very little middle ground.
- Low recent volume -- just 3 reviews in the last 12 months, so the score is shaped mostly by older experiences.
- Responds to critics, but slowly -- Geysir has replied to 100% of negative reviews, though Trustpilot notes it "typically takes over 1 month to reply." Trustpilot also flags "no history of asking for reviews," so the sample may not be fully representative.
What reviewers praise
- Fast, staffed pickup and drop-off -- multiple 5-star reviewers highlight quick, no-wait collection, including staff being present even early on a Sunday morning.
- Clean, near-new vehicles -- several describe cars as "brand new and in excellent condition," including a Hyundai Tucson Hybrid rented for a week.
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees -- recurring praise for "no surprises" and not being charged sneaky add-ons.
- Repeat and local customers -- some reviewers are on their second rental and note the company is attentive to Iceland's often dangerous driving conditions.
What reviewers complain about
- Warning lights and maintenance on pickup -- the single most recurring complaint; several report tire-pressure warnings at collection and cars with high mileage. (In its replies, Geysir argues tire-pressure sensor warnings are a common winter and studded-tire artifact and "do not necessarily indicate that the vehicle is unsafe.")
- Charge and damage disputes at drop-off -- multiple reviewers use words like "scam," "fraud," and "sharks" over end-of-rental charges.
- Unresponsive customer service -- reports of unanswered calls and emails, and little help locating the car in the lot.
- Airport-shuttle logistics -- complaints that shuttle times weren't communicated or that no shuttle showed up for late arrivals.
Notable reviews
Easy pick-up, no waiting time, fantastic customer service. -- Luka (5-star)
No surprises. Which is what you always look for with your rental. -- David (5-star)
They rent cars with over 100,000 km on the odometer and without proper maintenance. If you try calling them, they don't answer... emails reporting problems are ignored. -- Francesco (1-star)
Bad experience. Did not help us find the car in the parking lot. Pointed us in the wrong direction. -- Nicole Sommer (1-star)
Bottom line
Geysir Car Rental is a genuinely divisive vendor on Trustpilot: a 3.2 "Average" TrustScore hides a bimodal split where half of reviewers report a bad experience and a third give top marks. Happy customers get clean, near-new cars, fast staffed pickup, and transparent pricing; unhappy ones describe warning lights on delivery, disputed drop-off charges, and hard-to-reach support. Because recent review volume is low -- and because the campers are operated under the higher-rated Motorhome.is brand -- read the latest reviews yourself, and thoroughly document the vehicle's condition (photos, dashboard lights, existing damage) at both pickup and return.
