DeutschKeflavík International Airport (KEF) is Iceland’s main gateway, about 50 km (45–50 minutes) southwest of Reykjavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Whether you’ve just landed or you’re heading home, booking a transfer in advance is the easiest, most reliable way to travel between the airport and the city — no queues, no last-minute stress. Below you can compare and book transfers in both directions.
Most of our options are private, door-to-door transfers: arriving travellers are met in the Keflavík arrivals hall and driven straight to their Reykjavík accommodation; departing travellers are collected from their hotel and taken to the airport. Private transfers run around the clock to match flight times — including early-morning and late-night arrivals — and are ideal for families, groups and anyone with lots of luggage. Pickup times are aligned with your flight, so you choose the time that fits your itinerary when you book.
The famous Blue Lagoon sits roughly 20 minutes from Keflavík Airport, right between the airport and Reykjavík — making it a perfect first or last stop. Many travellers break the journey with a soak (luggage storage is available on site). See our hot springs and lagoons options to combine a transfer with a relaxing dip.
