With all the peer to peer services spawning due to cheap powerful smart phones and instant touch apps, I decided to try Turo last August during a family trip to Montreal. The processing, pick up/drop off and car experience was very good so I had no problem trying Iceland's peer to peer car rental service Carrenters.is. When planning a hike & car camping tour with my daughter this past summer.

I found their sign up & in quite easy, search was easy with even more car selections added during my research during my spring 2022 rental search.
I found the selection & prices offered by Icelander car owners on Carrenters.is, to be reasonable & lower than the car rental agencies. I liked seeing all kinds of well equipped cars, different sizes and extra options over the minimum stock basic standard offered by every cookie cutter car rental agency. Sure, one can find a fully equipped German full sized luxury fr the big 3 renters but guaranteed it will come with an absolutely eye popping high rental rates!
Nope... that was not for me and as everything in Nordic Iceland is already higher than in Canada, I needed and was hoping to find a zero emission EV to touring Iceland's yonder's for 8 days- preferably a Tesla Model Y or X better optioned and w less cost than say a big Hertz even though I like Hertz.

Too my delight, I found an UltraMarine Blue, Tesla Long Range Model Y, the only one on Carrenters. The price was decent & fair given all the included features & options compared to the big car agencies. Carrenters staff was very quick in replying to my all email questions so it was a go after my Model Y owner's follow up and acceptance of my rental dates and payment authorizations.
Picking up the Model Y was straight forward, EV destination charging was surprisingly simple n easy and my car drop return was easy including all follow up calls and texts with my Tesla owner during my 8 day summer EV car rental period. No EV charging range anxiety at all as TeslaSuper Charging stations were well planned & located. Plus there are some free 22.5kw and 50kw fast charging stations near popular tourist sites to boot as well 3 other faster charger providers w their stations in towns.
In short would I use Carrenters again and or recommend them to my friends & visitors to Iceland? That would be a 5 star yes... absolutely without question!

Thanks for your follow up,
Cheers,
