Unlucky, but great service all the way through

The car was easy to pick up at the airport, clean and surprised us with a panoramic roof which was great for the teenagers in the back. They could see the mountains as we drove.
The windshield wipers stopped working but the car company drove to our turist site and swapped the car when we where hiking. No extra charge.
We were so unlucky that another driver hit our car in a parking lot and the company dealt with all of it free of charge for us.
So inspite of really bad luck we felt safe, taken care of and didn't have to change any plans.
Would definitely recommend again.

Rental car

We received a very clean car at the best price in the Faroe Islands. Picking up and dropping off was made very easy with their locker system. Very glad we chose to rent with arctic!

Super experience

Super experience. Our flight was a few hours delayed, so we called and asked if we could prolong our rental a few hours more. They were very helpful and said it was no problem whatsoever.

We will definitely use them again.

A small saving, a great deal of disappointment

Despite the already unjustifiably high rental cost in the Faroe Islands, for a very small saving I was given a 10-year-old car with more than 100,000 km on the clock. The rear windows could not be opened, and the fifth gear struggled noticeably. I genuinely did not appreciate this, especially considering that competing rental companies offer significantly better vehicles for only a slightly higher price.

Furthermore, the pick-up location is not particularly convenient, especially during periods of severe weather.

The payment process was also unnecessarily complicated, requiring multiple steps to complete. Furthermore, the surcharge applied to the tolls for using the subsea tunnels was unjustified and added to the overall sense of poor value for money.

Fantastic service from Arctic

Fantastic service from Arctic. We rented a new Peugeot 2008 in perfect shape, and everything from pickup to communication was incredibly easy. When our flight was delayed, they immediately helped us extend the rental, and every reply was fast and friendly. Great car, great price, great experience. I can warmly recommend them.

Great service

Hired a car for 4 days with Arctic cars whilst exploring this incredible country. We found the whole process really easy and straightforward. From the online booking to collecting and then returning the car, it couldn't have been simpler. When we needed support, staff were flexible and helpful. Thank you, Arctic cars.

Forget the big evil car hire chains

Forget the big evil car hire chains. Arctic Rental Cars offer an amazing local service. Magni was my main point of contact and is a legend! Used them multiple times and they provide a very responsive service. A very human experience. Like is the Faroese way. We had a problem during our stay as I smashed my phone screen which caused disruption to our trip. I was able to contact them and they were very understanding and helpful. Magni I owe you a beer.

Would not recommend, go with another company

No information provided that the car for the pick up was located up the hill on another parking space (we received this info 2 days after, ha ha ha). We were not informed that GPS google maps of Faroe Islands do not work and also language was not set to English, we struggled to change it. The car was not properly cleaned (for example we found a chip on the floor). After 6 days we got an alert icon and it was about the pressure in the wheel - we noticed then that it had been patched up with tar or sth similar. There is no help desk at the airport, you just pick up the key from the box (other companies have their desks) and since I had problems with the internet I could not open the box at first.

Avoid if possible

Avoid if possible! More like rent-a-wreck!
We rented a car in Faroe islands in July. We chose a mixed:economy car. Arctic web page states that they use mostly 2024 models, some from 2023. No info that mixed:economy would equal very old cars. We got a car from 2015 with 140 000 km on the meter!! Completely filthy inside, nasty stains on all seats.
Pick-up process confusing as we got an email the same morning saying the car was ready for pick-up but in reality wasn´t when we arrived. Rental office closed at airport. No further information given. After several contacts a representative came, turns out our car was late and uncleaned. Asked for a replacement but there were none available according to the guy.
Contacted company after rental period and asked for a reduced price due to inferior vehicle but was denied by customer service who suggested a free passage through one of the tunnels in Faroe islands as compensation! That is useless to us as we would hardly go to Faroe islands again and certainly not chance on renting with these scammers...
Also please observe that Arctic adds 400 dkr for pick up and drop off at the airport, most other companies includes that in the price given when searching for rentals.
