The service was excellent. I arrived one and a half hours earlier than the scheduled time, and it was very smooth to pick up the car. The car provided was an upgrade from the one I booked, which was genuinely great. Four days of driving without any issues, very hassle-free. The return process was also very smooth, and they dropped us off at the airport, so there was nothing to worry about.

It is the worse car rental company in my travelling journey up to now!! Unreliability - I was booked a diesel used car for ten days more journey half-year before in order to economy fuel consumption , but only a gasoline car to be chosen.... Untruthful - The staff mislead much compensated cost instead of the fact as some damage to be found!

It's the same company as SIXT, with pick-up and drop-off at the same location. The car was in great condition, and in December, all cars are equipped with winter tires as required by local law, so no need to worry about that. Added a driver born after 2000 as an additional driver, and after including taxes and fees, the average cost was roughly 20 euros per day for 7 days. Maybe the 44.55-euro fee was because the second driver was young. For drivers older than 26, this fee might not apply. Just for your reference. After exiting the airport, take the door with the covered walkway. Follow the navigation to SIXT; it's about a 10-15 minute walk. There's a free shuttle bus, but I’m not sure which door to wait at.

Like: This company use older cars and price accordingly. We might not have had the smartest car in Iceland but we felt we had a good deal.
Dislike: The car was over 3 years old and had so many scratches, dents etc it was difficult to check them all. FLIZZR are part of SIXT. Although in Iceland there is a sign over the door we did not realise we were to use SIXT for the check in. This caused confusion. Check out took longer than other car hire firms.

The rental company's service is unacceptable! No customer service, no shuttle bus, and no clear pickup location! The car wasn’t given with a full tank of fuel, luckily we took a photo as proof! When returning the car, they even dared to question me! During the trip, the diesel’s Adblue ran out halfway, which is a maintenance issue they irresponsibly left for the customers to deal with! The car couldn’t start because of this, and their rescue hotline was unresponsive! The steering wheel was faulty and constantly veering to the right! Avoid this car rental company when traveling to Iceland!

Had to wait two and a half hours to pick up the car and one and a half hours to return it. The staff was inexperienced and kept consulting others during both pickup and return processes. No specific notice was given about the additional facilities installed in the car, which were of poor quality and caused issues shortly after leaving Reykjavik. Ten days after returning the car, charges were still being applied, and no explanation for these charges has been provided.

Reviewed: Aug 26, 2024

Overall pretty good. The car's condition was decent, although it wasn't spotless like a brand-new vehicle. There were some scratches on the exterior and a few crumbs inside, but it was generally clean. The car drove well and handled both Highway 1 and interior routes without any issues. Service was also good, the staff were friendly, and the price was lower compared to Hertz and Europcar. The trade-off is that the pickup and drop-off location is outside the airport, requiring you to wait for a shuttle at the airport meeting point. The ride takes about five to eight minutes. So, if you're in a rush, like catching a flight, waiting for the shuttle might make you a bit anxious. Another thing is the counter service—there's never enough staff. While they are polite and relaxed, no matter how long the queue gets, they don’t seem to hurry. They stick to their schedule strictly, clocking out on time without staying longer to help clear a long line of waiting customers. Just a heads-up: if you are returning the car and have a flight to catch, make sure to leave plenty of buffer time. Keflavík Airport is often crowded, and the efficiency of manual check-in counters is low. Personally, I’d recommend arriving at least three hours early.

Overall smooth process, but the pickup queue was somewhat long; initially, a less familiar car from the same category was arranged. Concerned about driving comfort, I requested a replacement and was provided the originally booked Toyota SUV. The pickup took nearly an hour!

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Waited 40 minutes at the airport for someone to pick me up. After returning the car, I had to find my own way to the airport. Bought insurance at the store, but when a small issue occurred during the rental, no one took responsibility. They recommended a repair person to check the issue, which took around 5 minutes, then demanded 60,000 Icelandic Krona and refused to use the insurance. During the return process, they inspected the car like it was a treasure, taking nearly 30 minutes.

It wasn't obvious where the car hire depots were - the symbol in the airport was a car with a key above and we were not sure we were following the correct signs. The girl at desk was not happy that I didn't take any additional insurance policy. I chose a policy on the website that I thought covered everything I might encounter but she advised it didn't cover for natural disasters. I chose not to pay for this as the areas she indicated there might be a problem I wasn't going to visit.

1. Provide unresonalble class of the car, the land rover should be Premium SUV class and it is not the same as nissan xtrail. The car price of Land rover could be 2 or 3 times higher than Xtrail how can AVIS put it in the same class? this is unfair for customer! 2. Provide mulfunction car to customer. Your staff said The Nissan Xtrail car is the brand new one that use only 8000 km. But it show speed fault. The car speed that was checked with speed limit on the road has 10km/h different from the speed shown in the car instrument panel. This caused me a lot problem for controling speed and it delay my trip a lot! 3. Your staff lied to me that the car don’t have built in GPS so i need to add more cost to borrow the GPS from AVIS but actually there is in the CAR! This make me feel very bad that AVIS is unreliable and untrustable. From these 3 reasons, I won’t use your service again and won’t recommend anybody to use your brand.

I rented a GOLF in auto transmission with a higher price but end the staffs offer me with a Mazda 2 in manual transmission. I was surprise and asked them that I thought I rented a GOLF in auto when booking but I was told by the staffs it is similar car. I said when I book online that time Mazda 2 or Hyundai i30 is cheaper than a GOLF. But the staffs told me that this is only similar car that they have so end up I they give me a Mazda 2 auto transmission. I’m very big size so when I’m getting in or out from the Mazda 2 always will have some difficulties. The car conditions was terrible as the engine check light indicator was on when I got the car and they told me is fine as it has been like this for awhile and after i drove for a feed day the water and tires indicator light on. I’m quite disappointed and upsets that it was a totally different type of car that I booked and the condition of the cars was so terrible that I need to worry for my whole trips that will this car breakdown halfway. I will definitely not to recommend any of my friends or book any car rental from this company again.

First, we landed at Iceland International Airport, and this car rental company did not have a pickup counter there. Following the address provided, we had to take an airport bus to the domestic airport at our own expense, which took an hour. However, there was no pickup counter at the domestic airport either. We called the rental company and waited at the domestic airport for over 10 minutes until someone came to pick us up. It took another 10-minute drive to reach the pickup point, which turned out to be a Honda dealership. The pickup process was very slow, and we were charged a deposit of 335000 ISK. Returning the car was also problematic; it was at a different location and hard to find based on the address given by the staff. We had to ask two people for directions before finding the place, which was stressful as we had a flight to catch right after returning the car. The return point was another Honda dealership. Even though the car was in perfect condition, the deposit would take one to two months to be refunded. It’s really better to rent from a big company; this local rental company is very unreliable. This has been my worst car rental experience ever, definitely a negative review.

Picking up the car was extremely complicated. After landing, I checked the pickup location based on the navigation information, and it turned out to be more than 50 kilometers away! I was instantly confused and noticed there was another domestic airport. I quickly took the airport shuttle to the domestic airport, but when I reached the end of the road shown on the map, I had to carry my luggage and ask people at the domestic airport. Even the only staff member at the airport didn't know where this rental company was. I had to call the rental car company with my bad English, and all they could say was 'sorry' and 'please wait.' After several calls, and contacting Zuzuche customer service, I waited for an hour before the rental company finally brought the car. It turned out that the pickup and drop-off locations on their order were at the international airport, which we totally missed. Whether it was the rental company's mistake or Zuzuche's, it was an extremely bad experience. Thankfully, the rest of the self-drive trip went smoothly.
