CampEasy vs Lava Car Rental

CampEasy operates a broader fleet spanning multiple categories: the budget-oriented Easy Small, the comfort-focused Easy Auto, and a Tesla Camper Y with 4x4 capability. This range lets travelers match their vehicle to their route and budget, including highland F-road access with the Tesla model. Lava Car Rental takes the opposite approach, offering a single campervan model -- the Renault Kangoo (2024-2025, automatic, 2WD). With just one option, Lava eliminates the comparison process entirely, which can be an advantage for travelers who prefer a straightforward booking decision.

Both companies are based near Keflavik Airport and were founded in 2016, but they occupy different positions in the market. CampEasy markets itself as a premium-first rental company, enforcing a policy that all vehicles in its fleet are no more than three years old and including a Webasto diesel heater as standard. Lava Car Rental is primarily a family-owned car rental business that extends into campervans, keeping its camper offering focused on a single modern vehicle rather than maintaining a large specialized fleet.

On the equipment side, CampEasy provides trip-ready sleeping gear and a trip-ready heating setup, with cooking equipment noted as a caveat and furniture and wifi available as add-ons. Lava Car Rental includes trip-ready furniture and heating in its base package, with sleeping and cooking gear listed as caveats and wifi as an add-on. Both vendors include unlimited mileage and collision damage waiver coverage in their base pricing, and both offer free cancellation with 24 hours notice.
