Great experience! The rental is closest from all to the airport and main road. I rented a Tesla Y made in Germany and everything went smooth despite my many concerns, as it was the first time in a EV for me. Charging was not an issue at all (Tesla superchargers in south road and in the capital - the one from Tesla dealer is not that busy, plus an ON local network available - including the bigest attraction parks - so nuce ti charge while you visit a waterfall). The rental process was smooth and guy there helped me with all kind of answers and advices. Return was also easy (shittle back to airport not available at night, but it, s si close to let off the family, drop teh car and than walk for less than 5 mins). Oh, and the Tesla Y was GREAT! Such a different experience from what I drive.

I rented a Tesla Model Y from this rental agency, and I'm glad I did. The price of gas is very expensive in Iceland so paying a little more than $20 to fully charge a car sounds like a good bargain to me. Unlike other agencies, Sixt adds you as a driver to the Tesla app so you can control the car from your phone. So in order to save some time during the pickup process, I highly recommend preinstalling the app ahead of time, creating an account and adding a credit card so it can be used for payment at Tesla Supercharger. Also I would suggest to create an account and download an app for ON Charging stations and add a credit card to it too so it will save you time when you need to charge on the road.

These guys are top notch!! Great service, I had an electric car this time and it was perfect, not having to worry about fuel the whole time. Most places in Iceland have electric charging stations. New MG

Well, all the car hire companies in Iceland have a lot of very bad reviews, among the "least worst" reviews I have hand picked Sixt. Based on other people experiences we decided to grab the full insurance coverage and refuel the car by ourselves before return it a week later. As per reviews suggestions on the collection day we checked every single part of the car looking for dents, scratches and any faulty thing. I took loads of photos and my wife had some videos as evidence thinking ahead on the return date, actually the agent recommended us to do that as well. Even after perform all these visual checks I called the agent to personally show him some small scratches, as per other people reviews recommendation. The only unexpected expense was he offered us a "sand & ash protection" policy which pays any damage excess OVER 2000 EUR. In case of a strong storm or a volcanic eruption car painting can get damaged and it is supposed that the full protection policy doesn't cover it. Despite we additionally had our personal full car coverage policy from UK we decided to grab it just in case. We asked him if they had free WiFi in their office and he offered us a WiFi mobile spot instead to take with us for 10 EUR a day. Neither O2 nor Vodafone roaming data services worked and based on previous bad experiences buying local SIMs abroad we decided to take it. We all four were using it on our trip through SW Iceland and it was pretty useful, I recommend it mainly for families or groups. I drove 1.300+ km with no issues, just one day last strong blizzard. Return date came over and we refueled on the service station next to Sixt office located turning the corner. All the return process was OK, no issues, I have had no extra charges since February when I hired the car. I know it can sound as lot of work to hire a car in Iceland, but it is worth to do it, you are free to go wherever you want, just try to use paved roads in order to avoid any inconvenience. Tip, next to the main office entrance door there is a kind of umbrella stand containing an angled mirror, it is intended to check the car bottom body so you don't have to kneel looking for any hidden damage.

Sixt was great to hire from when we arrived in iceland, James on the desk was super helpful to help plan our trip and advise us on how to save money on toll roads etc. Thanks James.!

Had an exceptional experience at the Sixt location at Keflavík Airport in Iceland. The person assisting us was James. I highly recommend you seek him out. He thoroughly explains everything, shares helpful tips, and makes sure you are well aware of the repercussions of getting caught speeding. We had an electric AWD MG SUV that was brand new. It handled exceptionally well and the maps were already set to English for us. We definitely received first class service.

Staff is very accommodating. New trainee, Karlo (sorry I am butchering your name!) was very pleasant and answered all of our questions. Return was a breeze too. The electric vehicle was fun to drive and provided us the capabilities needed for the terrain to reach our destination.
