What Campanda does

Campanda GmbH is a Berlin-headquartered online marketplace that connects travelers seeking recreational vehicles with professional RV rental companies. The platform lists over 25,000 types of RVs — motorhomes, campervans, caravans, and trailers — drawn from approximately 20,000 suppliers and operates across more than 45 countries in Europe, North America, South America, Central America, and Africa. Travelers search, compare, and book directly through the website, with country-specific domains (campanda.de, .at, .ch, .it, .fr, .es, .co.uk, .com) supporting localized search and SEO. Reported activity includes 11,000+ daily site visitors, 800+ weekly rental inquiries, and 5,000+ monthly travelers.

The product suite centers on a search and booking platform, a supplier-facing Booking Manager portal for listings and booking administration, an automated user account system for managing rental requests, a worry-free hire insurance offering resold through rental partners, and the Campanda Magazine editorial hub. Technology is a standard web-based marketplace; no public APIs, integrations, mobile app, or proprietary AI/ML capabilities are documented. The company is privately held, has between 11 and 50 employees, and is led by CEO Luka Dremelj.

The business model is a transactional marketplace take rate: suppliers list vehicles for free with no signup fees or long-term commitment, and Campanda earns an individually negotiated commission only on completed bookings. The company has raised approximately $19 million across three disclosed rounds between 2014 and 2017 (seed, Series A, and a 2017 round led by Michelin Travel Partner), with investors including Accel, Idinvest Partners, Groupe Arnault, b2venture, and Ringier Digital Ventures. Campanda acquired Airvy in January 2016. No revenue, GMV, or commission rate is publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Yescapa: Yescapa is a European P2P motorhome and campervan rental marketplace operating in France, Germany, Spain, and other EU countries. Direct competitor to Campanda in European markets with a private-owner supply model.
• Outdoorsy: Outdoorsy is a major North American P2P RV and outdoor-vehicle rental marketplace. Closely comparable to Campanda in marketplace structure (commission-based, two-sided, verified suppliers), with stronger brand awareness in the U.S.
• Roadsurfer: Roadsurfer is a major European campervan rental operator with a fleet of thousands of vehicles across multiple countries. Competes with Campanda's supplier-side inventory and increasingly operates its own direct booking channel that bypasses marketplaces.
• Indie Campers: Indie Campers is a European-headquartered campervan rental operator with own-fleet presence in 30+ countries. Competes with Campanda on the demand side by owning its supply and direct booking channel, reducing reliance on marketplaces.
• RVshare: RVshare is the largest P2P RV rental marketplace in North America, connecting private RV owners with travelers. Directly comparable to Campanda's two-sided marketplace model, though RVshare focuses on private-owner supply rather than Campanda's professional-fleet model.
• Goboony: Goboony is a European peer-to-peer motorhome and campervan sharing platform headquartered in the Netherlands. Operates a commission-based marketplace model directly comparable to Campanda, with overlapping country coverage in Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK.
• McRent: McRent is one of Europe's largest RV rental companies with a large multi-country fleet. Functions both as a Campanda supplier and as a direct competitor capturing bookings outside the marketplace.

Broad incumbents

• Airbnb: Airbnb operates the world's largest alternative-accommodation marketplace. While not a direct RV rental competitor, its scale, brand, and creator-driven content platform represent a structural adjacency that could encroach on Campanda's discovery and booking use cases.
• Booking.com: Booking.com is the world's largest online travel agency, recently expanding into alternative accommodations and outdoor stays. A broad incumbent whose scale and SEO dominance in travel search could pressure niche RV marketplaces if it expands into the category.
• Cruise America: Cruise America is the largest RV rental company in North America with a fleet of thousands of motorhomes. Broad incumbent in RV rentals whose scale, owned fleet, and brand presence set a competitive ceiling on marketplace-dependent RV discovery.
