A family trip to Iceland is the stuff of dreams, but when you’re traveling with a five-month-old baby boy, those dreams need a solid foundation of comfort, safety, and reliability. Finding the right car is arguably the most important decision you’ll make. This time around, we chose to book with Saga Car Rental, and our experience was so exceptional that it completely changed our view on what a car rental company can be.
From the very beginning, Saga Car Rental was a breath of fresh air. Unlike the impersonal service we’ve experienced with larger, international companies, Saga was incredibly easy to deal with. Their communication was prompt, clear, and friendly, which instantly put our minds at ease. But what truly set them apart was the human touch. When we picked up our car, the team went above and beyond, not just handing over the keys, but genuinely helping us plan our journey. They gave us invaluable travel ideas, sharing hidden gems that weren’t in the guidebooks and offering practical advice for navigating Iceland’s wild and beautiful landscapes with a little one in tow. This wasn’t just a transaction; it was the start of our adventure, guided by locals who truly love their country.
And what a car they gave us! Our chariot for the week was a fantastic Volvo XC90. With a baby on board, safety is our number one priority, and the XC90 is a vehicle that delivers peace of mind in spades. Its reputation for safety is legendary, and we felt utterly secure on every road, from paved highways to gravel tracks. The car was spotless and felt brand new, with a spacious interior that was a lifesaver. We had plenty of room for all of our luggage, a stroller, and, most importantly, our little boy’s car seat. The ride was so smooth that he slept soundly through long stretches, which is a blessing any parent will understand.
For us, the entire experience with Saga Car Rental highlighted what truly matters: quality service and a reasonable price point. We received a top-quality vehicle at a cost that was fair and transparent, with no hidden fees or surprises. But the real value came from the service. The personalized recommendations for places to visit, from a scenic coffee shop with a great view to a quiet stretch of road perfect for a photo op, made our trip feel custom-made. It’s a level of care that the competition simply can’t match.
Our Iceland adventure was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to Saga Car Rental. They didn’t just provide a mode of transport; they provided a quality, safe vehicle that felt like a second home, and a level of friendly expertise that made our journey infinitely better. We honestly believe that if you’re traveling to Iceland, especially with family, this is the company you need to go with. They are, without a doubt, a shining example of what great service looks like.
