We rented with Reykjavik Auto, which is apparently Blue Car relabeled. It was the cheapest. I am pretty sure the credit card would have covered any damage but with the fine print and everything I kind of always felt a bit nervous about it the gravel roads and passing cars.
We just bought our SIMs at the Olis gas station, but I am sure there are other places. Pretty straight forward and cell service is pretty good everywhere. We went with the 5gb with free local calls and 50 sms. It cost 2500 ISK. I forget how long it lasts, but thought it was a month.
By the way, if you are looking for a nice hike outside, we camped at Pakgil (or Thakgil) and it is beautiful there.
