Why Konvin Car Rental Stands Out

Konvin positions itself as a one-stop travel group offering car rentals, accommodation, and travel services near Keflavik Airport. Their campervan selection is compact but covers two distinct approaches: traditional campervans for travelers who want a self-contained mobile home, and 4x4 SUVs with rooftop tents for those who want highland capability with camping flexibility.

The rooftop tent SUVs are a genuine differentiator — vehicles like the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk and Dacia Duster with rooftop tents offer F-road capability that traditional 2WD campervans can't match, while still providing a sleeping solution.

Highland-capable camping

4x4 SUVs with rooftop tents let you access F-roads and highland areas that traditional 2WD campervans cannot reach — a genuine advantage for interior Iceland exploration.

Free airport shuttle

Complimentary shuttle service between Keflavik International Airport and their rental location, making pickup and dropoff straightforward.

Equipped campervans

Fiat campervans come with diesel heaters, kitchenettes with sinks, fridges, and included camping equipment — ready to go without extra gear purchases.

Part of a travel group

Being part of the KONVIN Hotel & Travel Group means they can bundle accommodation and other services if you need a hotel night before or after your campervan trip.


Things to Know Before You Book

Fleet & vehicle types

Konvin's camping fleet splits into two categories: traditional campervans (Fiat Dobló Maxi and Fiat Scudo) and 4x4 SUVs with rooftop tents (Jeep Renegade, Dacia Duster, Dacia Bigster). The campervans are FWD automatics with 2–3 sleeping spots, while the rooftop tent vehicles are 4WD with sleeping for 2.

The total fleet is 19 vehicles across all categories including regular cars and SUVs, so the campervan selection is limited. During peak summer season, availability can be tight — book early if you have a specific vehicle in mind.

Pricing

Pricing varies by season, dates, and vehicle type. The Fiat Dobló campers are the most affordable campervan option, while the Fiat Scudo 3-person camper is at a higher price point. Rooftop tent SUVs fall in between. All prices include basic insurance and the airport shuttle.

Pickup logistics

Konvin operates from Keilisbraut 762/771, Reykjanesbær — near Keflavik Airport. They provide a free shuttle from the airport terminal. There is no Reykjavik pickup option, so plan accordingly if you are starting your trip from the city.

Airport only

Unlike some competitors, Konvin only offers pickup at Keflavik Airport, not Reykjavik. If you need a city pickup, consider vendors that support both locations.


The Fleet at a Glance

Konvin's camping-capable fleet covers two approaches to Iceland road trips — self-contained campervans and adventure-ready rooftop tent SUVs.

Budget campervan for two

Fiat Dobló Maxi Camper (Basic & LUX)

Compact 2-person campervans with automatic transmission, kitchenette, fridge, and diesel heater. The LUX version adds extra comfort features. FWD only — suitable for Ring Road and paved routes.

Campervan for three

Fiat Scudo 3 Camper

Larger 3-person campervan with more living space, full kitchenette, diesel heater, and 230V electric heating. FWD automatic — ideal for groups of three on paved roads.

Highland adventure camping

Jeep Renegade Trailhawk, Dacia Duster, Dacia Bigster (Rooftop Tent)

4x4 SUVs equipped with rooftop tents, sleeping 2 people. These vehicles can handle F-roads and highland tracks that campervans cannot access. Available in both manual and automatic.

Regular car rentals

Toyota Yaris, Jeep Compass, Suzuki Vitara, and more

Konvin also rents standard cars and SUVs without camping equipment. These are not included in campervan search results but are available directly from their website.


What Reviewers Actually Say

4.6

Google · 350+

Generally positive reviews highlighting the airport shuttle convenience and vehicle condition. Some mentions of wait times during peak season.

4.3

Trustpilot · 100+

Good marks for vehicle quality and customer service. Occasional feedback about the limited fleet size and availability during summer.

What renters like

The free airport shuttle and proximity to KEF are frequently praised. Renters appreciate that campervans come fully equipped with cooking gear, heaters, and bedding. The rooftop tent SUVs get positive mentions from travelers who wanted highland access with camping capability.

Common concerns

The limited fleet size means popular vehicles book out quickly in summer. Some renters note that the Fiat Dobló campers are compact for extended trips. The lack of Reykjavik pickup is a drawback for travelers starting from the city.

Overall sentiment

Konvin is well-regarded as a reliable mid-range option, particularly for travelers who want the flexibility of rooftop tent camping with 4x4 capability. The integrated travel group services are a plus for those wanting a one-stop booking experience.
