Fleet & Vehicles
Go Campers has operated since 2014 and has served over 400,000 travelers, offering a fleet that spans five distinct categories: budget/compact, medium, large, 4x4/F-road, and rooftop tent. All vehicles are built and maintained in-house. Konvin Car Rental, founded in 2020 as part of the KONVIN Hotel & Travel Group near Keflavik Airport, runs a focused 19-vehicle fleet split between purpose-built Fiat campervans and 4x4 SUVs fitted with rooftop tents, alongside conventional car rentals.
The two fleets diverge in scope and specialization. Go Campers covers nearly every campervan category a traveler might need, from a basic two-person compact to a family-sized large camper or a highland-ready 4x4. Konvin concentrates on two niches: Fiat-based campervans (the Doblo Maxi and Scudo 3) designed for couples or small groups, and rooftop tent setups on 4x4 SUVs such as the Renegade, Duster, and Bigster for travelers who want highland access without a full campervan footprint. Konvin does not offer large or medium campervan categories.
Operationally, Go Campers provides pickup from both Keflavik Airport and Reykjavik with 24/7 self-service key collection, giving travelers flexibility on arrival timing and starting point. Konvin operates exclusively from Keflavik Airport with a free shuttle service. On equipment, Konvin campervans come with kitchenettes, furniture, and water systems ready to go, while Go Campers includes some essentials but lists items like furniture and Wi-Fi as paid add-ons. Cancellation terms also differ: Konvin offers free cancellation with 24 hours notice, whereas Go Campers' standard rate is non-refundable, with an optional refundable rate available at additional cost.

Choose Go Campersif…
- •You want a wide selection of vehicle types, from budget compacts to large family campervans and dedicated 4x4 F-road vehicles, all from a single operator.
- •You need pickup or drop-off in Reykjavik rather than only at Keflavik Airport, or you want the flexibility of choosing between two pickup locations.
- •You prefer a long-established operator with a substantial public review history (4.7 on Google from over 2,300 reviews) and over a decade of operations in Iceland.
- •You value 24/7 self-service key collection, which allows you to pick up your vehicle outside standard business hours.
- •Environmental considerations matter to you: Go Campers runs a sustainability program through Kolvidur reforestation.
Choose Konvin Car Rentalif…
- •You want free cancellation with just 24 hours notice, giving you maximum booking flexibility without paying for a refundable rate upgrade.
- •You are looking for a compact, well-equipped campervan for two with kitchenette, furniture, and water included in the base rental rather than as paid add-ons.
- •You want a 4x4 SUV with a rooftop tent for highland and F-road access in a lighter, more maneuverable vehicle than a full-size 4x4 campervan.
- •You are flying into Keflavik Airport and prefer a free shuttle transfer to the rental depot rather than self-service pickup.
- •You prefer a smaller operation where the fleet size is limited, which some travelers associate with more personalized service and vehicle availability transparency.
