Book Avis car rentals in Reykjavik

Avis was ok, but Dacias are maybe not the most reliable car.

Pros: Car was clean and comfortable, pickup was efficient. There was some incorrect information on the reservation and they cleared it up. They gave me a free shuttle ride back to my airbnb. They have free coffee.

Cons: The car, a Dacia Duster, threw a check engine light on while on the other side of Iceland. I went to Avis service center in Hoffn but it wasn't staffed. Avis did pay for a mechanic to look at it, but his assessment was inconclusive on whether it would make it back to Reykjavik. I lost nearly 4 hours of my trip trying to make sure car would make it back without breaking down on the road. They are extremely pushy on upselling insurance. I ended up buying their general liability with windshield protection on top of the policy I got from Kayak as that policy wouldn't cover the full value of car if it were totalled. Cost approx 100EUR extra for 3 day rental.

Excellent service, slow pickup

Pros: Great car, awesome drop-off experience. Attentive employees who knew what they were doing.

Cons: The pickup still took more than 1.5 hours, even though I had reserved/booked in advance, which made me miss my hotel check-out time. One unfortunate employee was left to deal with a long line of customers who hadn't booked in advance, further penalizing those who had planned ahead.

Pros: Easy

Cons: nothing
