Our History
The Journey of Mountain Car Rentals
Mountain Car Rentals began with a simple idea: to provide travelers in Iceland with reliable, affordable, and high-quality vehicles to explore one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Our journey has been one of dedication, growth, and a relentless commitment to customer satisfaction.
Founding Vision
Our story starts in 2010, when our founder, Arkadiusz Dworak, a passionate traveler and native Pole, recognized the need for a car rental service that truly understood the unique challenges and opportunities of driving in Iceland. With its diverse landscapes, unpredictable weather, and hidden gems, Iceland demands more than just a car – it requires a vehicle that can handle the adventure.
Early Years
In the early years, Mountain Car Rentals operated with a small but sturdy fleet, focusing on providing robust 4×4 vehicles capable of navigating Iceland’s rugged terrain. Word of mouth quickly spread, and our reputation for reliability, excellent customer service, and competitive prices began to grow. By 2015, we had expanded our fleet and opened new locations to better serve our growing customer base.
Adapting to Change
The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to the travel industry. During this time, we adapted by enhancing our health and safety protocols, introducing flexible booking options, and providing comprehensive customer support to ensure the well-being of our clients. This period of adaptation reinforced our commitment to resilience and innovation.
Growth and Expansion
As Iceland’s popularity as a travel destination soared, so did the demand for quality rental vehicles. We expanded our fleet to include a wide range of options, from compact cars perfect for city travel to spacious SUVs designed for family road trips. Our locations increased, and we introduced convenient services like airport pickup and drop-off, ensuring a seamless rental experience for our customers.
Commitment to Sustainability
Iceland’s stunning natural beauty is one of its greatest assets, and we are committed to preserving it. In 2018, we began integrating eco-friendly vehicles into our fleet, including hybrid and electric cars, to reduce our environmental footprint. We also partnered with local conservation organizations to support environmental initiatives and promote sustainable tourism practices.
Looking Ahead
Today, Mountain Car Rentals is proud to be a trusted name in Iceland’s car rental industry. We continue to innovate and improve, always with our customers’ needs in mind. Our recent introduction of long-term rental services is just one example of how we strive to meet the diverse needs of our clients.
