Great experience what particularly stood out was that when we were returning the car and stated we could not wait for the shuttle since we were running late for our departure at the airport , the staff offered to drive us to the airport after doing a quick inspection of the car. It was December in Iceland so even though it was just a 5 min walk or so , it was very kind.
