Happy Campers vs Konvin Car Rental

Happy Campers operates one of the largest campervan fleets in Iceland with over 200 vehicles, organized into three tiers. Their budget EX vans offer lower pricing in exchange for older vehicles with more wear. Standard campers come better equipped with features like Wi-Fi, bedding, and heating included. Their 4x4 highland campers are purpose-built for F-roads and winter conditions, featuring Webasto diesel heaters and the ground clearance needed for interior highland routes. The fleet covers a wide range of group sizes and travel styles, from solo travelers to families.

Konvin Car Rental takes a different approach with a compact fleet of roughly 19 vehicles split between two distinct formats. Their campervan side consists of Fiat-based models -- the Doblo Maxi and Scudo 3 -- equipped with built-in kitchenettes and diesel heaters, sized for couples or solo travelers. Their other offering is a lineup of 4x4 SUVs (Dacia Duster, Renault Bigster, Jeep Renegade) fitted with rooftop tents, which provide highland access in a vehicle that doubles as a regular car when the tent is stowed. Konvin is part of the broader KONVIN Hotel & Travel Group based near Keflavik Airport.

The two vendors occupy notably different positions in the market. Happy Campers is an established operator founded in 2015 with extensive public review history -- a 4.8 Google rating across nearly 2,700 reviews and a 4.0 on Trustpilot. They offer pickup from both Keflavik Airport and Reykjavik, and their equipment loadout covers heating, cooking, sleeping, cooling, power, water, and Wi-Fi in trip-ready condition on standard models. Konvin, founded in 2020, does not yet have published Google or Trustpilot scores and offers pickup exclusively from Keflavik Airport. Their campervans come with sleeping, cooking, water, and furniture ready to go, though heating, cooling, and power carry caveats that travelers should confirm before booking. Konvin does not offer in-vehicle Wi-Fi.
