Reykjavik Airport Transfer Guide (2026) - All Options & Tips
Plan your Reykjavik arrival stress-free with reliable airport transfer options, good for connecting to hotels and exploring Iceland's lively capital.
Helpful Tips
Grab the Strætó app. Buy bus tickets in seconds. Track Reykjavik's buses live. No guesswork, no waiting.
Head to Hlemmur bus terminal. Snag a Reykjavik City Card. Ride every Strætó bus free. Museums included.
Landed at Keflavik Airport? Catch Bus 55. It rolls straight to Reykjavik's BSI bus terminal. Cheapest ride in town.
Ride only the yellow Strætó buses. Tap your contactless card and go. Cash riders need exact change.
Common Scams to Avoid
Taxi drivers at Keflavík Airport sometimes quote a flat "tourist rate" instead of using the meter, claiming the meter is "broken" or that the fixed price is cheaper. Insist on the meter or pre-book a reliable airport transfer through the official booking widget to lock in a fair rate.
Unofficial "porters" inside the arrivals hall offer to carry bags to the Flybus or taxi stand, then demand a high cash payment. Politely decline any unsolicited help and keep luggage on the trolley you took from the baggage claim.
Car-rental desks occasionally push expensive gravel or wind-storm insurance add-ons by exaggerating the risk of damage on Icelandic roads. Review your existing coverage before arrival and only accept add-ons you need.
