KuKu Campers vs Konvin Car Rental

KuKu Campers fields one of the broader fleets among Icelandic rental operators, with categories spanning A through I plus dedicated 4x4 vehicles. This range covers everything from compact economy vans suited to solo travelers and couples up to larger premium options and highland-capable 4x4 campervans. Having operated since 2012, KuKu has built out a fleet that emphasizes variety and choice across budget tiers, with detailed F-road permission information listed per vehicle category.

Konvin Car Rental takes a different approach with a smaller, more focused fleet of 19 vehicles. Their lineup splits into two distinct formats: purpose-built Fiat campervans (the Doblo Maxi and Scudo 3) and 4x4 SUVs fitted with rooftop tents (including models like the Dacia Duster and Bigster). The rooftop tent concept is a notable differentiator — it pairs highland-capable 4x4 driving with a camping setup that sits atop the vehicle rather than inside it. Konvin's campervans come equipped with kitchenettes, sleeping setups, and water systems ready to use from pickup.

The two vendors also differ in how much gear is included at booking. Konvin's campervans arrive with sleeping, cooking, and water equipment in a trip-ready state, while KuKu treats sleeping gear and several other equipment categories as paid add-ons or items with caveats to check before booking. KuKu counters with a notably large and explicit insurance menu that lets renters customize their coverage a la carte, whereas Konvin operates as part of the broader KONVIN Hotel and Travel Group and includes a free airport shuttle service with every rental.
