From Google reviews:

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:
