Fleet & Vehicles
McRent and Konvin Car Rental occupy notably different segments of the Iceland camping rental market. McRent is a pan-European motorhome specialist headquartered in Germany, offering larger motorhome-class vehicles in Compact, Family, and Premium tiers. These are full motorhomes rather than converted vans, which typically means more interior space, standing room, and onboard amenities. Konvin Car Rental, founded in 2020 and based in Reykjanesbær near Keflavik Airport, takes a different approach with a 19-vehicle fleet split between purpose-built Fiat campervans (Doblo Maxi and Scudo 3 models) and 4x4 SUVs fitted with rooftop tents, including models like the Renegade, Duster, and Bigster.
The equipment profiles reflect each vendor's positioning. Konvin's campervans come largely trip-ready with sleeping gear, kitchenettes, water systems, and interior furniture included as standard. Heating and power carry some caveats depending on the specific vehicle. McRent's motorhomes include heating, power, cooling, and water systems as trip-ready but list sleeping gear, furniture, and Wi-Fi as add-on options, which is consistent with European motorhome rental norms where renters often customize their setup. Neither vendor currently offers onboard Wi-Fi as a standard inclusion.
From an operational standpoint, Konvin provides free airport shuttle service and focuses exclusively on Keflavik Airport pickup, making it straightforward for travelers arriving by air. McRent's Iceland-specific station details and pickup logistics were not fully confirmed during research, so travelers should verify availability and location directly. Konvin offers free cancellation with 24 hours notice, while McRent uses a tiered cancellation fee structure ranging from a flat fee up to 95 percent of the rental cost depending on timing. McRent holds a 4.7 out of 5 Google rating from 310 reviews across its European operations, while Konvin does not yet have aggregated public review scores.
