Poor airport pickup and impractical hybrid setup
Overall, the experience was okay. The car worked well and we had no major issues with the vehicle itself during the rental. However, there were two aspects that significantly affected our experience.
The airport pickup was terrible. When we called, we were initially told we would have to wait around 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, I called again and was told it would take another 30 minutes. When we asked for some support because we had an event booked and were getting very late, the person simply stopped answering the phone. We almost missed our event because of the delay, and the whole situation was extremely stressful.
The second issue was the car “upgrade.” We were given a larger hybrid vehicle, which of course had some advantages, but it was not particularly suitable for travelling around Iceland. The gasoline range was only around 400 km, and the car was provided only with a home-charging cable. There was no cable or solution to charge it at public charging stations, so the electric part was useless. In a country like Iceland, where distances can be long and charging options vary, providing a hybrid with such a limited fuel range but no usable public-charging cable makes very little sense.
Overall, these issues negatively affected our holiday.
