Fleet & Vehicles

Happy Campers operates one of the largest documented fleets in Iceland, with over 200 vehicles spanning three distinct tiers. Their budget EX vans offer older, higher-mileage vehicles at lower price points, while their standard campers come with newer builds and more included amenities such as Wi-Fi, heating, and bedding. For travelers heading into the highlands or visiting during winter, Happy Campers maintains a dedicated 4x4 lineup with Webasto heating systems and the ground clearance required for F-roads. Pickup is available at both Keflavik Airport (with a free shuttle) and Reykjavik.

PK Campers is an active participant in the Icelandic campervan rental market, but their fleet size, vehicle categories, and specific model offerings have not been independently confirmed. During research, their website could not be fully parsed, which means details about insurance inclusions, standard equipment levels, and pickup logistics remain unverified. Their equipment profile suggests sleeping and heating gear come trip-ready, but cooking equipment and power supply carry caveats that prospective renters should clarify before booking.

The information gap between these two vendors is itself a meaningful difference. Happy Campers publishes detailed fleet breakdowns, equipment lists, and booking terms that allow travelers to plan with confidence before arriving in Iceland. PK Campers may well offer competitive vehicles and service, but prospective renters will need to contact them directly to confirm specifics such as fleet age, included gear, pickup locations, and insurance coverage. Travelers who prefer to research and compare details online before committing will find substantially more to work with on the Happy Campers side.
