Had to give 1 star as 0 was not a option, wait a hour and a half for pickup at the airport, staff very rude! Waited an extra hour at the pickup depot to be given a car that is debatable if it is actually road worthy, while waiting witnessed another couple receiving a faulty car, which they got the blame for even though they hadn’t even driven it, again very rude staff, spoke to who appeared to be the manager who very arrogant and didn’t care about the whole situation! Avoid at all costs! Disgraceful service and unsafe cars!

Upon arrival, our transport driver was very rude and curt with other passengers (not to me but I was embarrassed for him) Upon arrival, it was pouring rain and the rear wiper of the car selected for me did not work. The representative said that that was the only car she had and when I then told the manager it was an unsafe car, he agreed immediately and without hesitation found another car without difficulty. After I returned my car to leave Iceland, I received a notice that I had gotten a 4 Euro parking ticket and with their overhead, they would have to charge me about $60 dollars to cover the 4 Euro ticket. The actual credit card bill for the ticket turned out to be $116 ! I am unaware of having received a ticket and they did not show me a copy. My son, also rented a car from them on a different contract, he too received a 4 Euro "parking" ticket and was charged about $60 dollars for the "overhead" expense. He also is unaware of having received any tickets. We both have asked the credit card to dispute these charges. I would not rent from this agency again.

I completely regret renting from this agency. They were deceptive and sketchy throughout the whole process, and had a number of fees and expenses they tried to charge without explanation. When we returned our car, the attendant found damage to one of the doors immediately as if he knew it was already there. It was the only door he checked, and he looked at the hinges before even taking the car’s mileage. When we explained that not only we’re we unaware of the damage, but also certain that it didn’t happen during our rental, he accused us of lying and attempted to charge us anyway. When he claimed he had proof, we asked to see it and he refused, saying that the pictures “are not for you.” Looking on any website, you can see this exact practice repeated over and over with different customers. Your wallet will thank you for avoiding this company.

We were charged for damages previously inflicted on the car. We picked the car up at 5 am, so our pictures on pick up were too dark to see the small dents they claimed we made. They claimed to have obviously photo proof of the car before we rented it and the car now to show the damage. We asked to see the pictures for ourselves, and they said, “No. Those pictures are for us, not for the customer.” When I explained that we were having an issue assuming this expensive responsibility without seeing the proof they have, the man just kept saying they have proof, but can’t let us see it. The whole company seemed weird and sketchy - we’re currently disputing the claim. Of course, it’s their damages department that has the final say on the matter. Like I said, the whole company seems like it’s trying to take advantage of tourists. I completely regret renting from here. Look on Google Reviews, the stories are horrific.

Breve riepilogo : Noleggio dacia duster con rooftent. Per mio eccesso di fiducia non controllo accuratamente il mezzo. 1.Alla prima sera mi rendo che l atenda non è utilizzabile. cerniera rotta e non sta su a causa di uno dei 2 sostegno piegato. 2. Cerco di contattarli ma dopo le 18 è inutile. Prima notte in macchina 3. Il giorno dopo lasciano passare ututta la giornata , senza far nulla se non dire "10 min e la richiamiamo" ad ogni mio sollecito. Seconda Notte in macchina 4.Al secondo giorno Allera arancione ,e cosi non possono sostituire il mezzo. terza notte in macchina 5. Foriamo e non ci sono i ferri per cambiare la ruota per fortuna riesco a raggiungere un meccanico che mi presta una chiave Non propongono spese di albergo ne altre soluzioni a loro carico. 5. terzo giorno sostituiscono la duster con un dokker (categoria inferiore) al posto del materasso un pazzo di gommapiuma senza federa e abastanza sudicio. 6.Anche questo non ha i ferri (per fortuna me ne accorgo e li ottengo dalla dotazione del tipo che mi ha portato la dokker) 7 Alla riconsegna scontatono 60€ Per il periodo del noleggio sul sito la differenza di prezzo è di circa 300€ Improvvisati

Rented a Yaris or Similar (with Air conditonning), when I got to FairCar in Keflavik, I was given a circa 2008 Hyundai i20 with 120,000 Miles (200000km) with a badly damaged wheel bearing, this car is unsafe to drive in any North American or EU country. It did not have Air conditioning like I Paid for. They said, it's the only car we have. They had lots of new 2021, Hyundai i20 and Toyota Yaris in the parking but they were not for me they said. For safety sake, (I was doing the Iceland Ring road, like most tourists) The only solution was to upgrade to a larger class vehicle, the only one they had was a 60$/day upgrade, it was a Dacia Duster, which still hasn't Air conditioning and had a non functioning Radio unit..... The engine had Oil pressure issues at start up.... I mean Fair Car rents used cars, used cars that are very old.. I'm extremely disappointed and will never use Wisecar again since I will make sure I rent my car at a one of the Rental Giants. WiseCar customer experience is good. FairCar in Keflavik is a ripoff.

Customer service is poor, vehicle condition is not great, old 150k+ driven cars. Made us get an premium insurance for EU55 per day for this old junk. If there are any issues with car, he said “Don’t call me, call another number for any help”. Interestingly I was pulled over by a cop, saying the License plate had some issues with the owner of the car and the cop was nice and asked me to keep driving and he will contact the company who owns this car. Overall recommend renting from a better brand than here, overall you pay the same price for an unreliable and unusable car.

Is it possible to rate it with 0 stars? Seriously. It says on the voucher that they come and pick you up in the arrival Hall at keflavik. Waited 2 hours until some kid who barely spoke English (or Icelandic for that matter) arrived and picked me up. However he left a senior couple behind because he said he would only take the main driver's to pick up the cars. On the way he was blasting techno and driving recklessly. Once arrived at the office I waited another hour. Finally I went through the registration process. The agent went to get the car. It was completely run down. Never seen anything like it. Rusty. Full of dents. Parts missing. 200k miles down. Complete garbage. She wanted to make me sign those damage report papers because those didn't cover all of the damages. Once I drove of the yard (yes, junkyard) the car signaled an electrical failure. I returned. The mechanic reset it, instead of running a diagnosis and sent me away. While there I saw how many people returned their cars and were made to pay horrendous sums on the spot. The whole office runs 8 different (but same) car rental companies. Same people, different names. Ripping people off. Stay away, spend money on hertz or sixt or whatever. Don't go independent in iceland. They'll make you pay muuuuch more. I guess I won't have to tell what kind of people work there. Just place a call and get an impression. Btw the battery was dead after a day. The hood was also loose and almost came off. If you value your health, stay away

After reading all the other reviews I was pretty terrified as to what the experience would be! But to be honest everything was fine…smooth pickup and drop off. Yes, the car had an obscene amount of miles on it and check engine light blinked the whole trip, but it got me through 800 miles in the West Fjords. The rental price was so much less than the big rental companies so you get what you pay for! But all in all it worked out just fine.

Comment décrire mon expérience avec Wild Campers/ Fair Car / Nordic Car si ce n'est horrible ?? Vente forcée, véhicule ridiculement âgé et en mauvais état... Bref je vous explique tout ! Malgré les avis négatifs, j'ai choisi de faire confiance à cette société, notamment par via ses tarifs attractifs. Quelle n'a pas été ma bêtise ... Tout commence lors de mon arrivée dans leur bureaux pour récupérer le véhicule.. après 2 heures d'attente, on s'occupe enfin de moi ! Ne serait-il pas raisonnable d'augmenter l'effectif de personnel lorsqu'il y a beaucoup de check -in et check-out ?? Deuxième déconvenue: quand je présente ma carte bancaire pour déposer une caution, on me dit qu'il me faut une carte de "CREDIT" et non de "DEBIT". Sachez que si vous avez une carte de crédit, on vous chargera une caution de 3000€ qui sera bloquée un mois après la remise du véhicule.. on peut donc se servir sur votre compte. Étant donné que je n'ai pas de carte de Crédit, mais bien de Débit, on me dit qu'il faut que je prenne l'assurance Platinum à 50€ par jour (sinon ce ne serait pas drôle) sans quoi ma location serait annulée. 50€ par jour de plus pour 17 jours de location, ça fait plus de 800€ en plus du prix de location !! J'appelle donc ça de la vente forcée, du vol... Ensuite, on ne me présente pas un véhicule de 2016 (Dacia Dokker) comme présenté sur l'annonce, mais un vieux van Renault Trafic de 2005 avec énormément de kilomètres au compteur... Imaginez-vous un véhicule qui a 15 ans de location derrière lui.. de surcroît en Islande avec ses Gravel roads.. Usé de toute part en terme de mécanique, ce camper van n'aura eu que des problèmes de bougies de préchauffage, de voyants orange (voir rouge sur la gravel) ou encore de défaillance de turbo. En effet, le turbo ne se déclanchait que vers les 2700 tours.. soit le moment où l'on doit passer le rapport supérieur.. Ainsi, ce van n'avait pas la pêche et beaucoup de problème de reprise. Ne vous penchez pas non plus sous les véhicules de Wild Campers/ Nordic Cars/ Fair Car, vous risqueriez de prendre peur en voyant l'état et l'omniprésence de rouille.. Clé cassée obligeant à ouvrir manuellement la porte conducteur afin de déverrouiller les autres portes.. Infiltration d'eau lors de forte pluie.. Duvet ridiculement petit.. Pas de poêle ni la présence de la cartouche de gaz que j'avais acheté... Un chauffage webasto qui n'a pas de sonde.. Un véhicule livré sale autant extérieurement qu'intérieurement... Bref, inutile d'en dire plus, je crois que vous avez compris !! Passez votre chemin et faites confiance à des sociétés sérieuses tels que Kuku Campers, Happy Campers ou Go Campers !

Langes Warten auf den Shuttlebus, ewig langes Warten in einem ungemütlichen Warteraum, eine total unfreundliche, arrogante Mitarbeiterin der es total egal war, was wir im Internet für einen Vertrag abgeschlossen hatten. Dann der Wagen.... Der erste Eindruck (im strömenden Regen), angerostete Felgen, Steinschläge in der Windschutzscheibe. Sitze nicht sauber gereinigt, beim anlassen des Wagens wurde mir erklärt, dass das Warnlicht das leuchtete nur ein Sensor sei und alles in Ordnung ist. Kein Angebot für einen Ersatzwagen. Nach einigen Tagen hätten wir die Allrad Funktion gebraucht. Die hat leider nicht funktioniert. Es fehlten ein Abschleppseil und der Verbandskasten. Als dann auch noch regelmäßig ein rotes Kontrolllämpchen aufleuchtete und ich nachsehen wollte, was das sein könnte , weil das Auto beim Gas geben plötzlich in der Leistung abfiel, mussten wir feststellen, das wir noch nicht mal ein Anleitungsbuch im Wagen hatten. Nur fürs Radio und das noch nicht einmal auf englisch. Es fehlt ein Aufkleber mit Adresse und Telefonnummer der Vermietung im Wagen. Alles in Allem sehr enttäuschend. Bei der Rückgabe habe ich insgesamt drei ( sehr freundlichen) Mitarbeitern die Mängel erklärt. War denen aber total egal. Vermutlich sind die Kummer gewöhnt. Deshalb meine Empfehlung, bucht bei einem anderen Unternehmen!

Nous avons loué un van pour 8 jours début septembre. Déjà 1h30 d'attente, bon ça encore on peut s'y attendre. Mais le véhicule donné n'avait pas de chauffage arrière, ce qui était pourtant noté et nécessaire pour un voyage en Islande en septembre. Nous nous en sommes rendu compte seulement parce qu'on a insisté pour faire l'état des lieux ensemble car une des responsables voulait juste nous faire signer le contrat après avoir dit qu'elle avait pris des photos. C'était sans parler de l'impact sur le pare-brise, un voyant allumé et le plastique du clignotant avant cassé. C'était un van Renault 3 places. Et cela après devoir payer 585€ de plus pour prendre l'assurance maximale car les cartes de débit française ne passent pas (à vérifier avec votre banque bien avant de partir même si la plupart ne le savent pas !) Après 6h d'attente (on est partis faire un tour), on a récupérer un van bien plus petit, sans baisse du prix. Nous avons dû insister pour faire vérifier si l'assurance ne changeait pas car nous partions sur un Dokker Dacia de la catégorie en-dessous et après vérification "ah oui c'est 300e moins cher". Cerise sur le gâteau : la bouteille de gaz était incompatible avec l'adaptateur, donc nous avons dû en racheter une autre, et refus de la rembourser quand on a rendu le véhicule alors même qu'on avait appelé pour prévenir et demandé à ce que ce soit noté sur le dossier. Pour en rajouter une couche, la pile de la clé marchait une fois sur deux, le "sleeping kit" était constitué de 2 oreillers et de 2 plaids 1 place extrêmement fins ( prenez aussi des duvets), et la voiture était une essence (noté sur le volet du truc à fuel) alors que sur le contrat c'était noté diesel. Une seule des employés a essayé de nous aider, les autres ont fait preuve d'un grand mépris malgré les preuves que nous fournissions. Rapprochez-vous plutôt des compagnies type kuku campers ou cozy campers, et voyez avec votre banque (même si je crois qu'en France on ne fait jamais de carte de crédit), préparez-vous à payer l'assurance maximale et préférez payer un peu plus cher pour être tranquille durant votre voyage.

Schlimmste Autovermietung überhaupt! Es wurde keine Abnahme gemacht, sondern lediglich gesagt, dass sie dann alles in der Werkstatt prüfen. Wenn ich im Fliger nach Hause sitze..."Ja klar, das erfüllt natürlich den Zweck einer Übergabe ;) Da wusste ich eigentlich schon das die mir einen Kratzer o.ä anhängen wollen. Das Auto war bei Abholung von Kratzern übersäht. Zum Glück hatte ich vorher nachher Bilder! So konnte ich das einbehaltene Geld von der von der Kreditkartengesellschaft zurück buchen lassen. Danach hat mir " FAIR Car" - haha unfassbar - mir in Deutschland drei Inkassounternhemn auf den Hals gehetzt. Ich habe dann gesagt, dass ich sie wegen Betrug anzeigen werde, danach habe ich nie wieder etwas gehört.

J’ai attendu presque 1h30 avant que quelqu’un vienne me chercher. J’ai ensuite eu un problème pour la caution, ma carte était une carte de crédit et non de débit. Le personnel n’était que moyennement aimable J’ai du attendre 1h de plus car mon véhicule n’était pas prêt. Et enfin la trappe à essence ne s’ouvrait qu’à 2 personne habille quand on part en road trip en solo. Bref je ne recommande pas

Ungenügend! Wollen nur zusätzliche Versicherungen abschließen. Die Online gebuchte existiert wohl nur über einen 3. Anbieter. Auto sehr mitgenommen. Steinschläge bereits bei Start, die man uns am Ende noch andrehen wollte. Hupe defekt. Dreckig! Es war noch Tierkot in der oberen Ablage. VORSICHTIG: wollen 3700€ Kaution die nicht aufgeteilt werden können! Sollte die Kreditkarte nicht gedeckt sein muss man für zusätzliche 50€/Tag eine Premiumversicherung abschließen, die im Endeffekt auch nichts bringt. Wir haben uns Verarscht gefühlt!

The worste car rental in island. The car was old and not well Mantained, the engine belt maked a noise all the time, the pick up at the airpot was in delay of about 1 hour, and for our drop off we almost lose our flight, The lady at the desk didn’t help us and saied that was not her business. Per gli italiani anche se può sembrare il più economico car rental il servizio è totalmente inefficiente le macchine sono vecchie e mal tenute. Personale scortese e svogliato e il servizio navetta per L aereoporto è assolutamente pessimo. Prendetevi almeno un ora da quando lasciate L macchina per esser riaccompagnati. Mai più anche se fosse l’ultimo car rental sulla faccia della terra.

Die schlechteste Autovermietung, die ich je erlebt habe. Ich frage mich wie hier gute Bewertungen ins Netzt kommen?? Mit ca. 20 anderen Kunden dieser Firma ca. 3 Stunden Wartezeit auf den shuttle. Der Fahrer konnte dann nur 8 Kunden mitnehmen. Wir wurden in eine Baracke gebracht und ich bekam nach weitern 1,5 Stunden einen vollkommen verrosteten und vermackten Kleinwagen. Zwei Klassen kleiner als gebucht! Das Personal vollkommen unfähig ind teils arrogant: Vorsicht bei diesem Anbieter!!!!!

I rented a car there and I didn't pay for the tunnel in Iceland which is 10 € (you must pay on line) and I crossed it 3 times, for which I paid cca 180 € (50 extra for each transaction). But that wasn't all, they abused my credit card and charged me the same thing again, I called them several times always promises and they don't want to return the money

Probably the worst car rent company in the whole world !!! We've made a car reservation this summer in Iceland with FairCar through CarFlexi website and while going through all the little details we've never been told that we will get an 8 years old car with more than 100K under it's wings, all rusty with bents, no head support at all at rear row, tires from day 1 of the car and never were replaced, strange and clunking noises coming out of it's engine, several warning lights are lit and it's normal as we've been told by a customer representative at the rental company, very unsafe and scary car to driver. We were in shock when we got the car but couldn't do much in 1:30AM and just wanted to get to bed, so we took it and drove away. On the second day we drove to the supermarket in Reykjavik Mall and on the main road the exhaust pipe simply fell off underneath the car, we saw it rumbling and rolling away in our back view mirror, afterwards the car became very noisy and unbearable to drive, so we went back to FairCar rental company and begged them to replace it with a newer car that works okay and not that old, but the only thing they agreed to do for us is to replace it with another one exactly as we have only different color. Again huge disappointment !!! While we were waiting in the waiting room of the FairCar we only heard other people complaining about their rentals either broken on the road or about to. CarFlexi company should be aware and check their service providers from time to time in order to provide safe and reliable cars to the travelers and not just to make money. I will not recommend FairCar to anyone and will only warn to stay clear of this rental company. Dennis

Buenas, yo alquilé una furgoneta camperizada con ellos (FairCar) e iba cagado por los malos comentarios generalizados. Cuando llegamos al aeropuerto tardaron como 15 minutos en recogernos después de llamarlos, vino un chico que recoge muchas empresas de alquileres ya que FairCar, al igual que otras muchas, es una revendora de servicios y quién realmente nos alquiló la camper fue otra ( WildCampers si no recuerdo mal). Lo peor de todo fue que nada mas llegar tuvimos que esperar 3 horas a que nos dieron la furgona, si 3 horas esperando!!! iban lentisimos y con cada entrega de cliente se pegaban 40 minutos de media. Una vez nos dieron la furgona todo correcto y le recalcamos tanto lo de si la teniamos q devolver limpia y si con el mismo nivel de combustible ya que habiamos leido que ahí es donde normalmente te "engañaban". El dia antes de la devolución se nos rompió el marcador de combustible (se quedó fijo en una misma posición) y al llegar a la entrega se lo recalcamos de que vaya mala suerte que justo el dia antes se rompió, la chica sólo nos pidió justificantes de si le habiamos echado combustible y le enseñamos los cobros de la tarjeta por lo que no puso inpedimento alguno. En cuanto a la limpieza nos dijo que estaba muy bien (la dejamos tal y como la encontramos) y he esperado un par de semanas a ver si me encontraba algun cobro sorpresa en la tarjeta una vez terminada las vacaciones. Todo bien y correcto sólo que eso, el servicio que prestan es un poco malo...se ve que alli viven sin estrés y tienes que tomartelo un poco con calma. Saludos
