Fleet & Vehicles
Happy Campers offers one of the broadest vehicle selections in Iceland, with over 200 campervans organized into three tiers: budget EX vans that trade cosmetic wear for lower prices, standard campers with more comfort and included amenities, and dedicated 4x4 highland models built for F-roads and winter conditions. This range means Happy Campers can serve travelers at multiple price points within a single company, from backpackers stretching a budget to couples seeking a well-equipped camper for a ring road circuit. Pickup is available at both Keflavik Airport (via a free shuttle) and Reykjavik, giving flexibility for different itinerary shapes.
CampEasy takes a different approach by positioning around vehicle freshness and premium options. The company states that all vehicles in its fleet are no more than three years old, which removes the older-vehicle trade-off that budget tiers at other vendors involve. The lineup includes the Easy Small for cost-conscious travelers, the Easy Auto as a mid-range comfort option, and a Tesla Camper Y 4x4 for those who want an electric vehicle experience. CampEasy's pickup location is in Reykjanesbaer, a short distance from Keflavik Airport, though the company does not list a separate Reykjavik city pickup point.
On the insurance front, both vendors include basic CDW with every booking. CampEasy differentiates with its Zero Risk insurance upgrade, which reduces the deductible to 0 ISK. Happy Campers counters with a more generous baseline equipment package: Wi-Fi, heating, bedding, and cooking gear come standard on its non-EX vehicles, whereas CampEasy lists Wi-Fi as an add-on and notes caveats on cooking equipment. Both vendors offer free cancellation with 24 hours notice. Review volumes tell their own story: CampEasy holds a 4.9 on Google from over 4,200 reviews, while Happy Campers sits at 4.8 from roughly 2,700 Google reviews.
