"Landed at KEF at 11 PM with two kids and no credit card - just my Visa debit. The compact SUV was ready, child seats already fitted, no deposit hold, no fuss. We drove the Golden Circle the next morning and the car handled the gravel beautifully. By far the smoothest car rental experience we've had in Iceland."
