    I had a great experience renting a Tesla from CampEasy. The whole process was simple and efficient, and the car was in perfect condition—clean, comfortable, and ideal for exploring Iceland. Customer service was excellent from start to finish. A special thank-you to Lidia for being so friendly, helpful, and making everything go smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a better rental experience. Highly recommended!

    Sergio Pita Sanz we were 7 days of actions 5 friends and the truth was amazing, the van took a ford transit (you don't take 4x4 if you are not going to cross rivers, you will pay more for nothing) is okay although we lost almost two hours at check in, it is the only negative point. The van is clean and everything they give you is very good, duvets, pillows, 2 camping gas and scourge and soap.

    We rented a camper van (VW Crafter) from CampEasy for one week over Christmas to explore Iceland for the first time, and it was an incredible experience! We were happily surprised by their clear and detailed website, which made it easy to choose the right vehicle for our needs. The option to add extra blankets, duvets, or pots and pans for free was a fantastic bonus. Their customer service was excellent—they were quick to answer our questions and made the check-in process super simple, even accommodating our late arrival with the option to sleep in their parking area and access nearby toilets. The camper van was equipped with clear video instructions on a tablet, 5G WiFi, and everything we needed for a comfortable journey. We also received weather alerts by email, which was a huge plus in a country like Iceland, where road and weather conditions can change rapidly. CampEasy truly exceeded our expectations with their well-equipped vehicles and outstanding service. Thanks for being such a big part of our fantastic first adventure in Iceland. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We couldn't be happier to have chosen CampEasy for our 7-day tour of Iceland. Our plane landed at 2am so the offices were no longer open and we had to use the selfservice which was organised to perfection. In addition, due to the time it was, they let us spend the night in their facilities, for which we are infinitely grateful. We were two people and the camper we chose was the Easy Fun which says it is for 3 but I honestly think that for 3 people it would be a bit small. For us 2 it was the perfect size. It comes with everything we needed for the days we were there and we weren't cold at any time which is appreciated with -10 degrees on the street. It also comes with a tablet with many recommendations of places to visit, gas stations along the way, campsites where you can stay.... All in all, a 10. Now we have to go back to see the north and I'm sure we'll do it again with them!

    What an amazing experience renting with Camp Easy. I can't think of a better way to see such a beautiful country. We had enough dishes and cookware to make everything we wanted for the week, and the camper even had a sink! The tablet came with wifi so we could easily navigate and keep in touch with the staff at Camp Easy via chat if we needed to. Dawid was especially helpful in answering all of our questions ahead of time. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Can't wait to come back 😁
