Indie Campers vs Konvin Car Rental

Indie Campers operates one of the largest campervan fleets in Europe, with over 10,000 vehicles across 100+ locations. Their Iceland depot near Keflavik Airport draws from a standardized catalog that spans several tiers: budget-oriented Active Bunk and Standard Select models, mid-range California and Comfort Standard vans, the premium Comfort Standard Select, and the off-road Adventure Tent Select. This breadth means travelers can pick a vehicle class they have rented before in Portugal or France and expect a comparable setup in Iceland. Konvin Car Rental, by contrast, fields a focused fleet of 19 vehicles from its base near Keflavik. Their campervan lineup centers on Fiat Doblo Maxi and Fiat Scudo models fitted with kitchenettes, diesel heaters, and sleeping arrangements, alongside a distinctive roster of 4x4 SUVs equipped with rooftop tents -- including the Dacia Duster, Jeep Renegade, and Dacia Bigster.

The two vendors diverge on equipment philosophy. Indie Campers provides cooking gear, a cooler, heating, power, and water as part of the standard package, but treats bedding, furniture extras, and Wi-Fi as paid add-ons. Konvin includes sleeping gear, cooking equipment, water, and furniture as trip-ready from the start, though heating, cooling, and power come with caveats that vary by vehicle -- and Wi-Fi is not offered. Travelers who want everything included on day one will want to compare the total cost once Indie Campers' add-ons are factored in against Konvin's bundled approach.

Market positioning separates the two clearly. Indie Campers is a Lisbon-headquartered company founded in 2013 that has facilitated over 350,000 road trips, offering multi-currency and multi-language booking plus 24/7 online assistance. Konvin Car Rental launched in 2020 as part of the KONVIN Hotel and Travel Group based in Reykjanesbaer, providing a free airport shuttle and the kind of proximity that comes with a locally managed operation. Indie Campers' default rate is non-refundable, with a flexible cancellation option available at additional cost, while Konvin offers free cancellation with just 24 hours' notice.
