Fleet & Vehicles
Rent.is presents one of the broadest vehicle menus available from a single Icelandic campervan vendor, with approximately 18 model lines spanning compact campers, 4x4 roof-tent vehicles, Crosscamp models, California-style vans, and full motorhomes. This range means a traveler can compare everything from a budget two-person setup to a family-sized motorhome without leaving one provider. Rent.is operates from Keflavik with a 24/7 schedule and free airport shuttle, and its insurance terms are documented with notable transparency compared to the broader market.
PK Campers is an active participant in the Icelandic campervan rental market and holds a strong Google rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 427 reviews. However, during research for this comparison, their website could not be fully parsed, which means their exact fleet composition, number of vehicle models, pickup logistics, and detailed booking policies have not been independently verified. Travelers considering PK Campers should contact them directly to confirm vehicle availability, included equipment, and rental terms.
The two vendors differ meaningfully in what can be verified before booking. Rent.is publishes detailed equipment lists, cancellation terms (free cancellation with 24 hours notice), and insurance breakdowns. PK Campers' default rate appears to be non-refundable, with a travel voucher offered at best, though travelers should confirm current terms directly. On the equipment side, both vendors provide trip-ready sleeping and heating setups, but they diverge on items like furniture (trip-ready at Rent.is versus add-on at PK Campers) and power supply (trip-ready at Rent.is versus a caveat-noted setup at PK Campers). Rent.is is reviewed on both Google and Trustpilot, while PK Campers currently has verified reviews only on Google.
