It was easy collecting our rental car in Reykjavik, but we arranged to drop off car at Keflavik. This took longer than expected to turn in car and have it inspected, then wait for shuttle van to airport. We had over 3 hours from arrival at car return before our flight and only barely made it on-time. Had we damaged the car at all (easy to do in Iceland), we likely would have missed our flight. We did this mid-July so I think it is even busier in August. Airport departure is slow too.
