Fleet & Vehicles

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.

Who Should Choose Whom

Choose Happy Campersif…

  • You want to pick up or drop off in Reykjavik -- Happy Campers serves both Keflavik Airport and Reykjavik, while Konvin operates from Keflavik only.
  • You are a first-time Iceland campervan renter and value an operator with thousands of public reviews (4.8 on Google from 2,690 ratings) and an in-person vehicle walkthrough at pickup.
  • You need a larger or family-sized campervan -- Happy Campers' 200+ vehicle fleet spans budget, standard, and 4x4 categories across multiple size classes.
  • You want Wi-Fi, heating, bedding, and cooking gear included as standard without needing to verify equipment caveats or arrange add-ons.
  • You are on a tight budget and willing to accept an older vehicle -- Happy Campers' EX tier provides a transparent low-cost option with known trade-offs on vehicle age and condition.

Choose Konvin Car Rentalif…

  • You want a rooftop tent on a 4x4 SUV rather than a traditional campervan -- Konvin's Dacia, Renault, and Jeep models offer highland-capable camping with a vehicle that handles like a regular car on paved roads.
  • You are a couple or solo traveler looking for a compact, well-equipped Fiat-based campervan without paying for space you do not need.
  • You prefer booking through a hospitality group with local infrastructure near Keflavik -- Konvin is part of the KONVIN Hotel & Travel Group in Reykjanesbaer.
  • You want built-in furniture included with your campervan rather than as an add-on -- Konvin lists furniture as trip-ready across their fleet.
  • You are drawn to a smaller operator where fleet size is limited and you may receive more individualized service during the rental process.
