Fleet & Vehicles

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 offers several defined fleet categories: the Active Bunk and Standard Select for budget-conscious travelers, the California and Comfort Standard for mid-range trips, the Comfort Standard Select as a premium option, and the Adventure Tent Select for travelers seeking off-road capability. This tiered structure gives renters a clear sense of what to expect at each price point, backed by the standardization that comes with a large-scale operation.

PK Campers is an Icelandic campervan rental company active in the local market. However, during research their website could not be fully parsed, which means specific fleet categories, vehicle counts, and detailed specifications have not been independently verified. Travelers interested in PK Campers should contact the company directly for current availability and vehicle details. Their equipment profile suggests vehicles come with sleeping gear, heating, cooling, and water systems included as standard, though cooking equipment and power setups may come with certain conditions worth confirming before booking.

The two vendors sit at opposite ends of the scale spectrum. Indie Campers is a publicly documented, multinational operation founded in Lisbon in 2013, with multi-currency and multi-language booking, 24/7 online assistance, and a depot roughly ten minutes from Keflavik Airport. PK Campers, by contrast, appears to be a smaller Icelandic operation. Their Google review rating of 4.8 out of 5 across 427 reviews is notably high, while Indie Campers holds a 3.9 out of 5 across a larger base of 821 Google reviews. Neither vendor has a Trustpilot rating available for comparison.

Who Should Choose Whom

Choose Indie Campersif…

  • You want a structured booking experience with multi-language support, multi-currency payment, and 24/7 online assistance from a platform built for international travelers.
  • You are renting campervans across multiple European countries and value a consistent experience with the same company -- Indie Campers operates in 100+ locations continent-wide.
  • You prefer choosing from clearly defined fleet categories ranging from budget (Active Bunk) to off-road capable (Adventure Tent Select), with documented specifications for each tier.
  • You want the option to add a flexible cancellation rate at booking time, allowing free cancellation up to 31 days before pickup rather than committing to a non-refundable rate.
  • You need confirmed Keflavik Airport pickup with a depot approximately ten minutes from KEF, and you value knowing the logistics before you book.

Choose PK Campersif…

  • You prioritize renting from a locally based Icelandic company rather than a multinational platform.
  • High customer satisfaction ratings matter to you -- PK Campers holds a 4.8 out of 5 on Google across 427 reviews, one of the higher ratings among Iceland campervan vendors.
  • You want sleeping gear, heating, cooling, and water systems included as standard rather than as paid add-ons -- PK Campers appears to include these in the base rental.
  • You are comfortable contacting the vendor directly to confirm fleet details, pickup logistics, and insurance terms before booking, and you prefer a more personal rental interaction.
