Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík by private car
How long the drive takes, what a private car costs for your group, and what each person pays when the car is full.
Keflavík Airport is on the Reykjanes peninsula, and the drive into Reykjavík takes 45 to 55 minutes, depending on where you are staying. Scheduled airport buses run the same road and are the cheapest way in for one or two people. A private car earns its price when you are a family or a group, when you land late at night, or when you would rather go straight to your door.
Two operators here run the trip, and both price it for the whole vehicle. The more of you there are, the less each person pays.
