Keflavík Airport shuttle from 5.000 ISK for the whole car

Why a Keflavík transfer can cost 5.000 ISK

A Flott Taxi driver is booked to drive between Reykjavík and Keflavík Airport. One direction has a passenger in the car. The other has nobody — the same road, the same fuel, the same hour of his day, and no one paying for it. So instead of driving that direction empty, he offers it in the app cheaply and earns something on it.

This is not money off a price we normally charge, and nothing has been left out of the ride to make the number smaller. You are buying a car that was already going where you are going. It is worth understanding, because the same thing explains the one real catch.

The catch is availability. A trip is in the app only while a driver actually has one going. There is no timetable, so if nobody is driving your direction at your hour, there is nothing to book. If you need a car that will definitely be there at a time you choose, that is our ordinary Keflavík Airport transfer — a different service at a different price, on its own page.

What it costs

One price, for the car, agreed before the ride starts.

From 5.000 ISK for the whole car. That is the lowest we allow, not one fixed fare — every driver sets his own price above it, so a particular trip can cost more. Whatever price you see is the total: VAT included, agreed before you set off, and unaffected by traffic, weather or the time of day. Nothing gets added at the end.

You book the whole car, and the price does not depend on how many of you there are. One person and four people pay the same. The passenger and luggage numbers tell you what that car holds — they are not seats being sold off separately. Nobody else is put in with you, and there are no other pickups or drop-offs on the way.

You pay in ISK. 5.000 ISK works out at roughly €33 or $36, but treat those as rough guides only: they use a fixed reference rate, and what your bank charges on the day is between you and your bank.

To give you a sense of scale: one adult seat on the scheduled airport coach, including being dropped at your hotel, cost 5.299 ISK when we last checked in August 2026. That is one seat, for more than a whole car costs here at its cheapest. Please check that yourself rather than take our word for it.

Who is coming, and in which car

Before you agree to anything you see the person and the car, not a vehicle class. Every trip shows the driver's name, his rating and how many reviews that rating is based on, and the languages he speaks. It shows the car itself too: make, model, year, colour, number plate, and how many passengers and bags it takes.

That is deliberate. At this price it is only sensible to wonder where the catch is, so the most useful answer we can give is to let you look at exactly who is picking you up and judge for yourself. These are the same licensed Flott Taxi drivers, in the same cars, who take our ordinary bookings — the trip is simply part of their normal working day.

How a booking actually goes

1. Install the Flott Taxi app and open the Shuttle tab.
2. Pick your direction — Reykjavík → Keflavík Airport, or Keflavík Airport → Reykjavík. Those are the only two.
3. Choose a trip. Each one shows the hours the driver is free, say 09:00–12:00. Those are the hours he can drive in, not a departure time.
4. Pick your exact pickup time anywhere inside those hours. You choose it; nobody assigns you a time.
5. Give your address in the city. Some drivers set it themselves when they add the trip; others leave it open for you to fill in. Either way the public list only ever shows a district, never a street address.
6. Pay the driver in the car. There is nothing to pay when you book.

Booking closes 10 minutes before your chosen pickup time. Booking early has no limit at all — if a driver has added a trip for next Tuesday, you can book it today.

From the moment you book it behaves like any other Flott Taxi ride: you follow the car live on the map, message the driver in the app, and the receipt lands in your trip history afterwards. And once your booking is in, the driver cannot cancel it.

Two directions, door to door

Reykjavík → Keflavík Airport and Keflavík Airport → Reykjavík. Nothing else runs on Shuttle — no Blue Lagoon, no cruise port, no trips between towns — and the airport is always Keflavík (KEF).

Both directions are door to door. Arriving, you are met at the terminal and dropped at your address; departing, you are collected from your address and dropped at the terminal. No walk to a bus stop at either end, and no second transfer to pay for once you reach the city.

If your route is a different one, it has its own page: Keflavík → Reykjavík, Reykjavík → Keflavík, Blue Lagoon, Reykjavík cruise port. Travelling as a party of more than a carful, see group transfers.

If you are flying in a few weeks

Trips appear as drivers add them, so there may well be nothing on your date yet. Rather than checking back every day, turn on Shuttle alerts — a switch on the Shuttle tab — and the app will notify you when a new trip is added.

Install now, turn alerts on, and book one when it matches your flight. Each driver keeps only a few trips open at a time, and a trip disappears once its hours have passed, so the list keeps changing.
