CANCELLATION POLICY

There is no charge if you cancel your reservation within 24 hours before pick up.

We will always pay you back if you choose Fully Refundable. However, there are a couple of exceptions when there’s a 2-year delay in refund. First, in the case of a pandemic which causes Iceland to lock down. Second, when a volcanic eruption happens. In such scenarios, CampEasy reserves the right to process the refund for a period of up to 2 years. Alternatively, you can receive CampEasy credit by freezing your booking for future use.

If you don’t cancel within 24 hours before pick up and don’t show up we retain 30% of the total order amount.

You are not able to change your booking if there are less than 24 hours until your booking starts. You are not able to shorten your rental once your rental has started. If you wish to lengthen your rental, we will try to accommodate, but it will depend on availability.

Non-Refundable bookings are not refundable after the purchase has been made. For non-refundable bookings, we do offer the option to freeze the booking with us. You can select any new dates, as long as one of the new dates contains at least one day that falls into the same, or cheaper, seasonal price as your original booking.

Rules

EARLY RETURNS

Refunds for early returns are only possible if we get notified 24 hours before the start of the rental.

AGE REQUIREMENT AND DRIVERS LICENSE

A full driver’s license must have been held for at least 12 months and must be presented at the start of the rental. The renter must be 20 years of age.

INSURANCE, LIABILITY, AND DAMAGES

Lessee’s liability is subject to change with added insurance options. CDW is mandatory for rental vehicles in Iceland. Lessee’s liability with CDW is 300.000 ISK. That amount can increase. Firstly, due to CDW insurance limitations. Secondly, should the lessee’s action be deemed unlawful, the full 300.000 ISK deductibles will be charged immediately upon return if the camper is damaged. The vehicle will then immediately enter a standardized third-party procedure of damage cost evaluation. If the damages do not reach the 300.000 ISK deductible, the difference will be refunded to the lessee. 

CampEasy will provide all reasonable assistance and reparations if problems occur during the rental. The hirer will report any problems as soon as possible in order for Campeasy to assist and offer reparations. Refunds will not be given if problems are not reported during the rental. 

RIVER CROSSINGS

We offer insurance options to allow for river crossings on our 4×4 models. Without these insurance options, river crossing is forbidden and non-4×4 vehicles are not allowed to cross rivers.

A river crossing is somewhat dangerous, and if you intend to venture onto F-Roads, please read the River Crossing article.

For more information on the insurance required to cross rivers, please read the Vehicle Insurance in Iceland article.

CampEasy campers that can cross rivers with additional insurance:
Easy Clever 4×4 X
Easy Clever 4×4
Easy Viking 4×4 X
Easy Viking 4×4

Please note damages that occur while crossing rivers and damages caused by water are not covered by the CDW insurance.

Zero Risk Insurance and Premium Insurance have separate deductibles for this type of damage. You can see this here.

FUEL, WATER, AND OIL

The rental car will have a full tank of fuel. The car needs to be returned full.
If the fuel tank is not full at return fuel refill will be charged on Visa/MasterCard.

Maintaining water and oil levels on the camper is the lessee’s responsibility. Any cost incurred will be reimbursed upon production of a receipt.

GPS / TACHOMETER / DRIVER GUIDE EQUIPMENT

Lessee’s responsibilities
Lessee agrees to the presence of the information, safety, and security system onboard the camper. It’s a tablet GPS system and accelerometer that monitors kilometers, location, condition, and treatment of the camper. This information is not accessible by the lessee and not visible in the camper itself.  You are responsible for any loss or damage to the unit and its accessories. If the unit and/or its accessories are lost or damaged so as to, in our sole opinion, require repair or replacement, you will pay us its repair or full retail cost, which may be as much as $499.  The reason for the installment of the equipment is a response to factors related to the nature of campervan rental in Iceland. These factors include but are not limited to: the environmental preservation of Iceland, the need for precise and prompt response to emergencies, and preventative maintenance of the campers. The safety and security system can also be used in the case of deviations that could violate the conditions of the rental contract, or when accidents occur. 
Owners responsibilities
CampEasy accepts that campervan locations in real-time are confidential and will only be accessible to CampEasy employees and will not be shared with any third party. CampEasy will limit the use of this equipment and the relevant data to search and rescue, camper and lessee’s safety, upholding conditions, emergencies, and preventative maintenance when applicable. 

SMOKING

All campers are non-smoking vehicles. 30.000 ISK fine for infractions.

TAKING THE CAMPERVAN OUT OF THE COUNTRY

Taking the campervan out of the country is forbidden. If it were to happen it will be treated as theft and can result in criminal charges.
