From Google reviews:
My experience with Sad cars was nothing but excellent. We picked up our car at the Keflavik airport, no wait, prompt service. The car was exactly what we had booked online. Brand new, barely any miles on it. We drove the ring road through Iceland without any issues, car was fantastic. We did purchase all the insurance just in case. The thing I love most about Sad-cars is that you are able to drop off the car at the Reykjavík office even if you picked up at the airport office! They have a drop box at the Reykjavík office, so even if the office is closed or you are getting in late, you are able to drop the key in the box and go on your way. This was very convenient as we were spending our last couple nights in downtown Reykjavík and no longer had a need for the car, but didn’t want to take it all the way back to the airport and pay for a shuttle back. We walked from the office to downtown afterwards, only took about 45 minutes. I would definitely use this company ag
Our office in Keflavik is at Arnarvöllur 4b, 235 Reykjanesbær. See our location on Google maps.
Just hop on board the free shuttle bus that goes every fifteen minutes around-the-clock between the arrival hall and car rentals. When you exit the customs area, continue straight ahead and outside the airport entrance. From there, you walk through a covered footpath and at the end of the path you will find the shuttle service. Exit the shuttle at stop number 3. We are in the same office as Átak car rental, just follow the SADcars logo.

SADCars has service partners all around the country if something breaks down or if something has to be replaced. If you have an accident or the car totally breaks down we will of course replace the car with a new one.
Should the car break down, you can call our 24 hour hotline and we will decide if the car is repairable or if you need a new car. If the car is repairable then we will direct you to one of our numerous service partners around the country. If it is not then we will bring you a new car as soon as possible.
We have a road side service network all over the country so if something happens to the car we can quickly assist you but the cost of that is not included in the price if you have an accident. If the car on the other hand breaks down the car will be fixed for free or you will get another car. If for example in case you have a flat tyre, that is not included in the cost of the rental of the car. All the cars have spare tyres.

Choosing a rental car for your trip to Iceland depends on when you want to visit, what you want to experience, and how many people you will be travelling with. If you are visiting during the winter, when the weather is at its most volatile, we would recommend using a 4x4 vehicle that is suited to driving in the snow. During the summer, a mini, economy or compact vehicle may be suitable, provided you are not planning on driving the F-roads in the highlands.
If there are more than 5 of you travelling together, a minivan gives you the option for up to 9 people to travel in the same vehicle.
Our range of cheap hire cars in Iceland offers everything from small cars to 4x4s, so you can be confident that we have a vehicle that will be right for you.
Planning your road trip prior to your arrival in Iceland is the best way to ensure you schedule enough time to experience all of the top attractions. Once you have collected your rental car from the Keflavik International Airport your options are endless. Some of the most popular destinations for road trips in Iceland include:
