You go to Iceland and prepare your trip? Here’s how to transfer from Keflavik Airport to Reykjavik!
The main connecting platform for international flights, Refkavik Airport is Iceland’s main airport, 50 km from the airport Reykjavik . Tourism in Iceland is growing year-on-year: while in 2013, 2.75 million passengers transited, the airport was visited by 8.75 million passengers in 2017. To guarantee a stress-free travel start, we recommend you book your Keflavik airport shuttle to Reykjavik in advance. Here are all the solutions to make this airport transfer.
Bus transfer
There is no public transport network between the airport and the Icelandic capital, but three private companies do the connections: the Reflavik airport shuttle Terravision , Flybus and Airport Express . It is recommended to book your ticket in advance online .
Buses Flybus leave 35-40 minutes after arrival of each flight. On arrival, the approach is simple: you can exchange your transfer confirmation against tickets to the agency Flybus located in the terminal. The advantage is that the shuttle can take you directly to the foot of your hotel for perfect care. Attention, this is a comfortable solution but this shuttle only serves a few hotels and the price is quite high: 45 € for a return trip. You can nevertheless make a detour by the Blue Lagoon to swim, located not far from the airport.
With Airport Express , it will be necessary to pay 500 ISK for an additional charge, without which you will be deposited at the entrance of Reykjavik. The journey takes about 45 minutes for about 25 €. Another way to transfer Reflavik airport to Reykjavik: buses Terravision . We can book his ticket online from 19 € for 40 minutes.
Taxi transfer
Icelandic taxis have a meter fee: no fares to the package, we really know what the race costs. The transfer price is therefore fixed and returns to 15,000 ISK for one to four people ( or about 150 € ).
You can "heel" a taxi out of the airport or book your place in advance online with TaxiTender . It is an online booking platform for reliable and affordable airport transfer. Your driver will wait for you in the arrival area, with a sign to your name. It will then take you to the exact place where you want to go. Cancellation is free. If you booked a flight early in the morning at Reykjavik Airport or if you simply prefer to take a taxi to the airport, this platform is ideal for this use.
Car transfer
Rent a car when traveling is often one of the best options. But renting a car is the best way to visit Iceland. Most Icelandic vehicle rental agencies may offer you to pick you up directly at Reflavik Airport before you get the car keys to Reykjavik. It will probably be cheaper than by choosing Reykjavik airport transfer by bus or taxi, especially if you are travelling to several.
