CampEasy Iceland review

CampEasy builds its Iceland camping offer around practical van conversions, with a choice of vehicle ages and a substantial diesel 4×4 range.

Profile reviewed and updated on

Background

Company overview

Founded in 2013, CampEasy Iceland is a family-run camper rental business operating from Reykjanesbær. It designs and converts its own campers and runs a workshop, combining vehicle preparation and rental operations at a single Icelandic base.

The range spans small two-person vans, larger campers for up to five people and electric camping vehicles. Seven diesel designs are offered in newer and EXP categories, giving the business a range differentiated by vehicle age as well as size and equipment. All rentals start and finish at the same base.

Our verdict

Editorial review

CampEasy offers enough meaningful variation to make choosing a camper worthwhile: a small van for two, a five-person layout and a larger, more equipped 4×4 serve quite different trips. The conversion business gives the range a coherent camping setup, while the age categories add another useful choice within familiar layouts.

The proposition needs closer attention when the trip depends on difficult-road access or flexible cancellation. The most capable vehicle and the most expensive protection package still leave important restrictions and financial exposure. CampEasy is therefore strongest as a carefully matched rental: choose the vehicle, permitted roads and contract together, rather than treating a 4×4 badge or package name as the answer.

Good points

  • A choice of age within the same design..The seven NEW/EXP pairs retain the core seating and sleeping layout, so accepting an older camper does not automatically mean moving to a different size or transmission.
  • Useful separation between arrival time and key access..Pre-arranged self-service collection can accommodate flights outside staffed hours, with the check-in and key arrangements completed ahead of arrival.
  • Positive handover feedback in the sampled reviews..Helpful explanations, prepared campers and straightforward collection recur in the 20 Trustpilot page-one reviews examined from April–August 2026. This is a limited, non-random sample; additional reviews include equipment and service complaints, so it does not establish a company-wide service rate.

Things to consider

  • River exposure remains substantial under Zero Risk..Its ISK 700,000 excess for eligible river damage makes this a significant financial decision even with the highest protection tier.
  • A refundable rate can still tie up money..The contract allows a cash-refund processing delay of up to two years in the specified pandemic-lockdown or volcanic-eruption circumstances.
  • Five berths do not settle child-seat suitability..The Big and Viking rear two-point belts cannot take the required child restraints, and Monster excludes child seats altogether. Families need to match the restraint and seating position to the camper before choosing a category.

The fleet ranges from compact sleeping vans to larger diesel campers with more living equipment, alongside two electric camping categories.

Size, sleeping space and vehicle age

Small and Ranger use the compact VW Caddy Maxi format. Their two-person bed is 195 cm long, 115 cm wide around the torso and narrows to 97 cm at the feet. Fun, Auto and Clever move to the Transporter format, with a wider bed and three travel seats and sleeping places. Fun is manual; Auto and Clever are automatic.

Big and Viking carry and sleep five, using two sleeping levels. Their upper beds have limited headroom: 50 cm in Big and 45 cm in Viking. Luxury and Monster instead use a larger body for three people, with a built-in kitchen, two fridges and a 3,000 W inverter. Monster reaches almost seven metres in length and uses 35-inch tyres; it is a substantially larger vehicle to handle than the compact vans.

NEW categories cover approximately the first three years of vehicle age; EXP categories are roughly three to six years old and can show visible wear. The pairs are Small, Fun, Auto, Big, Ranger, Clever and Viking. Specific features can differ between paired categories, and the rental terms allow substitution with a similar or higher category if the reserved type is unavailable.

Diesel or electric camping

The diesel campers list insulated living areas, Webasto night heating and running-water kitchens with a 16-litre tank. Heating uses both fuel and electrical power. Bedding is included for the booked occupants, and additional free items such as duvets or cooking equipment can be selected during booking.

Both Tesla categories sleep two and come with bedding, a stove, gas and cookware, rather than a built-in running-water kitchen. Camper Y 4×4 adds a listed 14-litre fridge. Camp Mode uses the driving battery overnight; CampEasy estimates roughly 10% per night, with temperature and electrical supply affecting consumption.

Four-wheel drive and road classification

The diesel 4×4 range includes Ranger, Clever, Viking, Luxury and Monster, with EXP versions of the first three. It offers several sizes for permitted F-road travel, subject to the rental restrictions below. The two Teslas need particular attention: Camper Y 4×4 is classified for F-roads, while Camping Y is not, despite having all-wheel drive. Neither Tesla may cross rivers.

Before booking

Practical facts

TopicWhat to know
Driver eligibilityDrivers must be at least 20 and have held a full driving licence for 12 months. Bring the physical licence; a digital-only version is not accepted. Additional drivers must be registered and meet the same requirements.
Licence formatCampEasy accepts US, Canadian and EEA licences. Other licences must meet its requirements for a readable number, photograph and Latin characters; an international driving permit is required where those criteria are not met.
Rental length and mileageThe minimum camper rental is three full days, with unlimited mileage included. Fuel, charging, campsites and road or parking charges remain separate.
Airport transfer and staffed pickupThe free Easy Shuttle serves Keflavík Airport and eligible nearby locations from 08:50 to 15:45. The airport meeting point is P2 after luggage collection and contact with CampEasy. Staffed camper pickup and return slots are 09:00–15:30; office hours are 09:00–16:00. All vehicles return to Selvík 5, rather than to an airport rental counter or a Reykjavík branch.
After-hours collectionPre-arranged KeyCafe collection and return can operate 24/7. Online check-in, documents, card details and the agreement must be completed as instructed, with check-in finished at least 24 hours before pickup. Outside shuttle hours, the journey to the base is by taxi at the traveller’s expense. Holiday pickup closures run from noon on 24 December to 09:00 on 26 December, and noon on 31 December to 09:00 on 2 January.
Payment card at collectionThe booking holder must present a valid credit or debit card in their own name, including after paying by another method or using a voucher. CampEasy can charge contractual extras, damage and other rental costs to the card.
Protection package pricesFor direct rentals, included insurance has no additional daily premium. Optional Premium costs ISK 3,990 per day for 2WD or ISK 4,490 for 4WD; Zero Risk costs ISK 7,190 or ISK 7,990 per day respectively. These are protection costs in addition to vehicle hire.
Damage responsibilityIncluded cover leaves an ISK 450,000 excess for covered collision damage and ISK 150,000 for covered windshield or gravel damage. Zero Risk reduces those covered excesses to zero, but exclusions remain. Eligible river damage has a separate ISK 1,400,000 excess with Premium or ISK 700,000 with Zero Risk. Excesses are potential liability, not an additional rental price or a refundable deposit.
River crossingsQualifying additional cover is required, and only these diesel categories are eligible: Ranger 4×4 and EXP, Clever 4×4 and EXP, Viking 4×4 and EXP, Luxury 4×4 and Monster 4×4. Neither Tesla nor any 2WD camper may cross rivers. Eligibility does not override road closures, prohibited routes or excluded driving behaviour.
Road restrictionsCampEasy prohibits F210, F249, F26, 337, F578, 622, F88, F903, F909, F980 and F233 for every vehicle. Route 939 over Öxi is also prohibited from 1 October to 30 April. Other F-roads require a category classified for that use and an open, permitted route in suitable conditions. Driving a non-classified vehicle on an F-road carries an ISK 200,000 supplier penalty, with other liability potentially additional. Off-road terrain driving is prohibited, and vehicles may not leave Iceland.
Faults and roadside assistanceReport problems during the rental and obtain CampEasy’s approval before arranging outside repairs or assistance. Emergency telephone contact is available 24/7; Easy Guide chat operates during office hours. Optional Super Service costs ISK 3,000 per rental day on direct bookings and covers qualifying customer-caused incidents such as getting stuck or a drained battery. It is separate from insurance and does not guarantee 24/7 recovery. For an undriveable vehicle, replacement timing depends on weather, roads, distance and time of day.
Cancellation and refundsA Fully Refundable direct rate allows cancellation without charge at least 24 hours before pickup; cancel online and request the refund by email. Cancellation within 24 hours or a no-show retains 100% of the order amount. Non-Refundable bookings do not receive a refund after purchase. In a pandemic that locks down Iceland or a volcanic eruption, the contract reserves up to two years to process refunds; a credit alternative is not a cash refund. Unused days are not refunded once the rental has started.
Taxes and price comparisonCampEasy’s direct prices include 24% VAT, but a road-tax line can be added after the initial vehicle-price step. Campsite accommodation or tourist tax is paid at the campsite. Compare the later booking total rather than treating the first displayed amount as the full trip cost.
Illustrative rental priceA direct promotional basket for Easy Clever 4×4 EXP, 7 November 2026 at 12:00 to 21 November 2026 at 12:00, displayed ISK 217,434 for 14 days: ISK 188,244 discounted vehicle hire with included insurance, plus ISK 29,190 road tax. It used a non-refundable full-payment selection and no paid extras or protection upgrades. This was an indicative, non-submitted basket, not a completed booking or an available offer.
Selected extrasDirect-booking extras include an additional driver at ISK 5,000 per rental, a table with two chairs at ISK 6,900 per rental, and personal-device Wi-Fi at ISK 990 per day for up to five devices. Wi-Fi is included in Luxury and Monster. The included Easy Guide tablet is separate from the personal-device Wi-Fi service.
Child restraintsChild-seat hire is ISK 9,900 per seat in the direct catalogue. CampEasy’s current campers have no ISOFIX; a suitable front three-point-belt position is required. Big and Viking rear two-point belts are unsuitable. Monster cannot take child seats because its passenger airbag cannot be deactivated.
Portable toiletHire costs ISK 17,000 per rental on compatible larger campers. It is not available for Small, Ranger or their EXP versions, or either Tesla category. Returning a hired unit without emptying its tank incurs ISK 20,000.
Return condition and timingOrdinary cleaning is included; remove rubbish and food, tidy the living area and gather bedding. Diesel vehicles return with a full tank: a short tank incurs ISK 5,000 administration plus fuel. Special cleaning can cost ISK 15,000 for a very dirty return. A return at least one hour late can incur up to another 24 hours of hire. Unattended night returns are inspected after the customer leaves.

Quick answers

CampEasy Iceland FAQ

Can I collect a CampEasy camper after a late flight?

Yes, through pre-arranged KeyCafe self-service, subject to the holiday pickup closures. Complete the required online check-in at least 24 hours before collection and follow the key instructions. The airport shuttle ends at 15:45, so late collection normally means paying for a taxi to the Reykjanesbær base; it does not include an overnight staffed handover.

Can both CampEasy Tesla categories use F-roads?

No. Tesla Camper Y 4×4 is classified for permitted F-roads, while Tesla Camping Y is not. Both have all-wheel drive, but that does not give them the same rental permissions. Neither may cross rivers, and CampEasy’s prohibited-road list applies to both.

Does Zero Risk remove all liability with CampEasy?

No. It removes the excess for specified covered damage, but eligible river damage still carries an ISK 700,000 excess. River cover applies only to the eight named diesel 4×4 categories with qualifying protection. Excluded uses, including closed-road driving and negligence, remain outside the package’s protection.

What is the difference between NEW and EXP campers?

NEW covers approximately zero to three years of vehicle age; EXP covers roughly three to six years and allows for visible wear. Seven diesel designs have both versions. The core seating and sleeping layout follows the design, but an equipment feature listed for NEW should not be assumed to come with its EXP counterpart.

Which CampEasy campers are automatic?

Auto, Big, Clever and Viking, including their EXP versions, are automatic, as are Luxury, Monster and both Teslas. Small, Fun and Ranger, including their EXP versions, are manual.

Can a family with child seats book Big, Viking or Monster?

Big and Viking require an individual check of the child restraint and front seating position: their rear two-point belts are unsuitable, even though the campers have five travel seats. CampEasy has no ISOFIX. Monster expressly excludes child seats because the passenger airbag cannot be switched off.

Is CampEasy’s Easy Guide tablet the same as included Wi-Fi?

No. The included tablet provides navigation, vehicle information and contact functions. Wi-Fi for personal devices is a separate service, priced at ISK 990 per day on direct rentals, except in Luxury and Monster where it is included.

Can I cancel a discounted CampEasy booking for a refund?

The rate selected controls the answer. A Non-Refundable booking is not refundable after purchase. A Fully Refundable rate permits cancellation without charge at least 24 hours before pickup, followed by an email refund request. The contract’s exceptional pandemic-lockdown and volcanic-eruption clause can delay refund processing for up to two years.
