Fleet & Vehicles
CampEasy operates an Iceland-only fleet where every vehicle is marketed as no more than three years old. Their lineup runs from the budget-oriented Easy Small vans up through the Easy Auto comfort tier and a Tesla Camper Y 4x4 -- one of the few electric campervan options available in Iceland. The company emphasizes a premium-first positioning: CDW insurance, unlimited mileage, and a Webasto diesel heater come included with every rental. Sleeping gear is provided as part of the standard package, though cooking equipment carries some caveats and furniture items like tables and chairs are available as paid add-ons.
Indie Campers draws from a fleet of over 10,000 vehicles across more than 100 locations in Europe, with an Iceland depot located roughly ten minutes from Keflavik Airport. Their Iceland categories include the budget-level Active Bunk and Standard Select, the mid-range California and Comfort Standard, the premium Comfort Standard Select, and the off-road-capable Adventure Tent Select. As a multinational operation founded in Lisbon in 2013, Indie Campers offers multi-currency and multi-language booking, 24/7 online assistance, and a standardized rental process designed to feel consistent whether you are picking up in Reykjavik or Rome. Cooking gear comes included, while sleeping equipment and furniture are available as add-ons.
The two vendors occupy distinct positions in Iceland's rental market. CampEasy is a specialist: a single-country operator that controls its own fleet age and bundles inclusions to minimize surprise costs at pickup. Indie Campers is a generalist: a pan-European platform offering breadth of vehicle categories, flexible booking infrastructure, and the convenience of a single account across multiple countries. Travelers comparing the two are essentially choosing between a locally focused, inclusion-heavy rental and a globally standardized, platform-driven one.
