Yes, if you are looking for a cheap camper in Iceland, you are in the right place. We are so confident in our low-cost campervans that we offer the low-cost guarantee if you find lower prices at other campervan rentals in Iceland. We're able to do this by minimizing operating and van-building costs, so the only "catch" is that you'll be getting a very basic campervan or "tent on wheels" as we like to call it. If that's cool with you, then it's a win-win that will help you explore Iceland and save money for other things. But we believe that you should not have to sacrifice professional service, reliability, and safety and we are confident that our brand new 2019 campers and 10+ years of experience in the campervan industry won't let you down. That's just the way we do it at Cheap Campervans Iceland.

Simply go through our booking process above, using our booking engine. You have the option to pay a 30% booking deposit or the full amount of the rental.  We accept all major credit cards but cash is not accepted. We do require a credit card to keep on file during the rental but please contact us if you have any concerns about that. Prepaid credit cards and debit cards are accepted if the customer purchases the Premium+ insurance or the Adventure Pack.  

We kindly ask that you cancel your booking with no less than 24-hour notice. If you cancel with less than a 24-hour notice, your booking deposit is not refundable. However, for all customers, we offer an option to reschedule your trip. We can move your booking as often and as far back as you want for no additional cost or penalty. Even if you don’t know the new dates yet. If that’s the case, simply let us know and we’ll “freeze” your booking. This will guarantee your booking for the foreseeable future and we will change your dates as soon as you provide us with your new travel dates. We are here to work with you and make sure that your trip to Iceland becomes a reality.

When using our booking engine, you are getting the most up-to-date live availability of our fleet. If you get an error message saying that your preferred van category is unavailable for your dates, unfortunately, that is true. If you are flexible, we recommend trying different dates to see if the van becomes available. If you receive an error during the payment process, there are several potential reasons, including your bank blocking the transaction. Please contact us if the problem persists.

Our opening hours are from 08:00 to 17:00 and we only offer a free shuttle service to/from the airport during those hours. – If your flight lands in Iceland at 17:00 or later, we suggest finding a place to stay until we open. Just let us know about this change immediately so we can reschedule the shuttle for you. For example, if your flight arrival changed from 15:00 to 22:00, you will have to pick up your camper van at 08:00 the next day, at the earliest. There are many accommodations available in the Keflavik area. – If your flight lands before 17:00, we will wait for you to go through security. Just make sure to have scheduled an airport pick up. For example, if you land at 16:45, and miss the last shuttle, we will find somebody to pick you up. However, if your plane lands at 17:05, unfortunately, you will need to find accommodation in the area until the next day.

We do indeed! When you book the van, simply choose our free shuttle service and let us know your flight number. We will then pick you up at the airport and drive you to our office, located only 5 minutes away. We also offer a free shuttle to the airport when you return the van. The shuttle leaves every 60 minutes and the last shuttle leaves at 16:30. Click here for more information about the shuttle service.

After you go through baggage claim and customs, you will enter the arrivals area. You can wait anywhere in that area, including the seating area nearby. Please do not wait in the departures area or at the restaurants near the departure area. When it is getting close to your scheduled shuttle time, please keep an eye out for us and let us know when you see us. We will be holding a sign with your name on it.

We opened the Happy Campsite Keflavik right in our back yard so people could rest after a long flight to Iceland or prepare for the trip home. The Happy Campsite is located only 6 min from the KEF Airport and has all the necessary facilities for a comfortable stay. You can find more info and book your stay here.

We are a new company and constantly expand our fleet. However, as of now, all our vans are manual. If you are looking for automatic campers, check out Happy Campers.

No, our campers do not have a toilet or shower. Showers and travel toilets require a lot of space and are complicated to operate. But do not worry, in Iceland, there are many gas stations, small shops, and restaurants where you can use the bathroom facilities. Most campgrounds also offer good facilities for travelers to use.

The bed size in Cheap Campervan is 120x180cm.

Our van’s fuel consumption/mileage is approx. 6-10 liters/100km. Fuel tank size is 50 liters

The Cheap Campervans van is very basic and we do that on purpose in order to keep prices down. You will get a simple bed or tent with 2 pillows. So you will get all the cost-saving benefits of traveling in a tent but also the added flexibility and convenience of a camper. For detailed descriptions of what is included check out the designated pages for specific model. None of the vehicles include a heater or running water, so please prepare accordingly.

Icelandic law prohibits parking overnight in a campervan outside of organized campsites. Thankfully, Iceland has LOTS of beautiful campsites all over the country and there are many online and offline resources that have more information about these campsites, such as tjalda.is

We do not have campers that sleep 3 or more people.
