"We rented a small Van for 5days in…"

We rented a small Van for 5days in wintertime. Really good price, no problems with the car and everything from booking, pick-up and Return went smooth! Moreover the webpage is full of useful guides. You can tell that is not just about making $$, but actually making sure you get an awesome experience in Iceland. Will def. Recommend using happycampers

"Well-equipped van, good service"

We hired a van last week - in the winter! The heater worked really well and we were never cold in the van in the night, we used the sleeping bags, duvets and blankets provided. Van was well-equipped. Would recommend getting a 4x4 as we opted not to, although we thankfully got on okay on the snowy roads. We managed to drive the entire Route 1 - completed the island and had a fantastic holiday.
Really helpful, friendly lady (glasses, dark hair, picked us up from the airport - sorry we don't know her name!) showed us how to use everything in the van.
Had to wait a little for pick-up from airport but all worked out well in the end!
All email contact prior to our trip was detailed, helpful and received quick responses. Resources on the website are really useful.
Everything is slick and the company is well done

"Great way to see Iceland - Just a few build niggles!"

Happy Campers were really great from start to finish. We hired the 4x4. When we arrived at the airport, we only waited for around 20 minutes for our shuttle to show up. We did, however have to wait almost two hours for our van to be ready but with free coffee and biscuits while we waited, it wasn't too bad!

The van itself was great, it got us around the ring road and then some in all weathers from wind, rain, snow and ice. It was a delight to drive.

The living quarters, while comfortable, were not as great. Our van had no independent lights at the back (apart from a reading light which didn't illuminate much) and in the winter, it was quite annoying having to use our phones as lights.

There was one drawer for food storage and a cooler, which was more than we needed for food, but very little space for bags. Luckily we travelled light and brought backpacks with us, I couldn't imagine doing it in a suitcase!

The gas cooker was a little finnicky when the gas bottle was less than half full, it couldn't heat a pot of water so we ended up having to buy a new gas bottle (the van came with 4 half full bottles, probably for that reason!). But once it got going, it was a great little cooker!

The best part about the van, was the diesel heater. We stayed in temperatures ranging from 4c to -7c and we were toasty and warm all night! The bedding that came with the van was so cosy and we didn't feel too cold at all during our trip.

Overall, it was a pretty good van, everything worked as it should, the price was great and the people at Happy Campers were an absolute delight to deal with. Any questions we had, they were right on hand to help with. It just didn't feel built for more than a day or two's travel due to the lack of storage and other points.

"Best price/value in Iceland"

Best price/value of a rental car in Iceland. Their van are nice and clean even if sometimes they have troubles. However they'll always able to help you and you should not worry about that. You'll enjoy your trip without be annoyed by stuffs.

"We had such an amazing experience in…"

We had such an amazing experience in Iceland with our Happy 1 EX. The van was well equiped and very comfortable: heater, fridge, wifi, bed sheets, ...
We could prepare our trip in the best conditions with the different resources available on the website, especially the camp site map (very useful !)
We felt also very confortable on the happy campers office.

The only bad point: no one came to ensure our transfer at the airport when we arrived (eventhough we booked it). We were told that no one found our flight number. We would have appreciated someone calling to check on us. We took a guesthouse in the end for the first night. Everything ended happily the next day, when they came to pick us up and refund us for 1 night.

This can of course happen and and it did not affect our overall experience, which was amazing. We recommend !

"Best trip with Happy Campers"

We rent a camping van from Happy Campers and got the best well-equipped camping van that Iceland can offer: kitchenware, Tablet with GPS and recommendations for the trip, free Wifi and more.

And all that with an amazing service, While we drove the van we had a technical problem, and when we contact Happy Campers they provide us with an alternative van and help us with fast and professional feedback.

If you want the best trip in Iceland - choose Happy Campers.

"Great Affordable Camper Van Option"

Happy Campers did a fantastic job and we feel we got more than we paid for all considering the other options various campers told us they chose instead. Their vehicle worked great and I felt safe driving throughout the ring road 1 and 2. The sleeper seats were comfortable and the cooking space was just the right amount we needed to prepare our daily meals. I wish I could remember everyone's name who helped us. Joe promptly picked us up at the main office and took us back to the airport! What an awesome guy.

"NOT ONE TO GIVE A BAD REVIEW BUT Happy…"

NOT ONE TO GIVE A BAD REVIEW BUT Happy Campers should review the van vents, biting gnats infiltrated our van in reykjadalur through the small rooftop mesh vent one night and we woke at 3am with a swarm in our van! NO JOKE! My wife, I, and two young kids 3 and 5 have bits all over. I had to tape over the vent and drive 45 mins to another campground. We were elated about using Happy Campers, so many great reviews and recommendations. Our experience was really unfortunate. Started out on arrival, 30 mins of standing around then finally greeted, another 2hrs until given a tour of our vehicle which we had to rush through since our rental car was due to return an hour prior. The paid for car seats we received had food remnants on them, they offered another set unprompted but were equally as encrusted. When we finally left we noticed how nasty and broken the van was. Refrigerator door was melted on the top and broke so overtime you lifted, it would fall off. The weather stripping was falling off around the windshield and doors, so we had to try and reattach it several times. The van tires were not filled properly and it was always pulled hard to one direction. Finally the van had a gnarly smell to it, like a teenagers boys room. We got used to it after a day but it made me alittle sick at first. Positives: Sheets/pillows were clean, stain free, and comfortable but not long enough to cover your feet. Sink and burner worked as advertised with enough propone for several weeks. Sharp knife. Fun to have a place to lay down and make soup after a long hike. Bottom line there are many other van rental options that have equally awesome looking equipment and are comparable to pricing. Be transparent as to your expectations of what you're receiving.
