We rented a VW California for 5 nights in October. When we arrived at the airport in Keflavík, the shuttle driver was really easy to find. The rain was torrential and for some reason the driver of the shuttle didn’t feel like being able to see through the windscreen was important, so he barely used the wipers, which was both confusing and worrying. They don’t cost anything, mate!The van we left the office with was absolutely terrible. We should never have been given that van and we should never have accepted it. I was too keen to start the adventure to stop to think “this van is horrible”, and I take responsibility for that. Where to start? The van’s diesel tank was empty, the tyre pressure sensor warning came on immediately. Three of the tyres were overinflated and one was under inflated by 20psi. The floor had a scorch mark where someone has put down a hot pan, the interior plastics were mostly cracked, the privacy blinds didn’t stay shut, the wiper blades made a GOD AWFUL noise like they should’ve been replaced 10,000km ago. The pop-top had mould looking crap in it and trying to lock it down into place seemed a lot harder than it should have been. The worst part was when the wiper blades STOPPED WORKING in the middle of torrential rain at night at 80km/h, followed by the roof leaking. That was a rough night. The next morning I phoned the rental place up about it and they couldn’t have been nicer about it. They agreed to send a different van, even though we were 3 hours away from their office. The new one that we were given was sooooo much better and our mood instantly improved. However, this van also had TERRIBLE wiper blades. Is there something about Iceland and their wiper blades? I live in Scotland where we get significantly more rain than Iceland and I’ve never in my life seen such poor wiper blades. Replace the bloody wiper blades, people. They’re not expensive or difficult to renew. I paid extra for WiFi which was a total waste of money.
