If you are not planning on renting a car, the most common and best way for small groups is the FlyBus from Keflavik International Airport.
When it comes to selecting the Flybus you have two options: the regular Flybus which takes you to the central bus station at BSÍ and the Flybus+ which drops you off at a selected location. You can book it here.
The public bus nr. 55 travels regularly throughout the day from the airport to the capital area. Please note that the bus does not always drive all the way to BSI bus station, downtown Reykjavik. In those cases the last stop is at Fjörður, in Hafnarfjörður, which is a town just outside Reykjavik.
You can purchase your bus ticket at the airport with card or cash.
We recommend using Blue car rental when searching for car rentals in Iceland. Book your rental car from the largest local car rental company in Iceland.
Please note that while this is the fastest way of commuting from the airport, Taxi is also the most expensive one.
The prices for 2025:
1-4 passengers & 1 bag per person: 20.000 ISK
5-8 passengers & a large trunk for bags : 26.000 ISK
You can book a taxi in advance by sending an email to gbt@bsr.is
