Rent.is vs Konvin Car Rental

Rent.is, founded in 2012, positions itself around fleet breadth. With approximately 18 model lines, it spans compact two-person campers, 4x4 vehicles with roof tents and Crosscamp builds, California-style vans, larger panel van conversions, and full motorhomes. This range means travelers can compare vehicles across multiple size classes and drivetrain types from a single provider. Konvin Car Rental, founded in 2020 as part of the KONVIN Hotel & Travel Group, takes a more focused approach with a fleet of 19 vehicles split between purpose-built Fiat campervans (the Doblo Maxi and Scudo 3) and 4x4 SUVs fitted with rooftop tents, including models like the Dacia Duster, Dacia Bigster, and Jeep Renegade. Konvin also offers standard car rentals alongside its camping vehicles.

The two vendors differ notably in how they handle highland and F-road access. Konvin's 4x4 rooftop tent lineup is specifically positioned for travelers planning highland routes, offering rugged SUVs paired with pop-up sleeping setups. Rent.is also carries 4x4 options, including roof-tent vehicles and the Crosscamp line, but embeds them within a much larger catalog that extends all the way up to motorhomes -- a category Konvin does not offer. For travelers who already know they want a motorhome or a large California-style van, Rent.is is the only option of the two.

On the equipment side, Rent.is vehicles arrive trip-ready across most categories including sleeping, cooling, heating, power, water, and furniture, with cooking gear noted as a caveat and Wi-Fi available as a paid add-on. Konvin's campervans come equipped with kitchenettes, diesel heaters, and sleeping setups, though cooling, heating, and power carry caveats depending on the vehicle, and Wi-Fi is not offered. Both vendors operate from Keflavik Airport, provide free shuttle transfers, and offer free cancellation with 24 hours notice. Rent.is has accumulated significant review volume with a 4.3 on Google from over 1,500 reviews and a 4.7 on Trustpilot from nearly 1,000 reviews, while Konvin, as a newer entrant, does not yet have aggregated review scores on these platforms.
