Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are available 24/7 directly outside the arrivals hall. The journey to Reykjavik takes approximately 45-50 minutes. While convenient, this is generally the most expensive transportation option. Pre-booking is available through various local taxi companies.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies, including major international and local Icelandic brands, have service desks in the arrivals hall. It is highly recommended to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak season. The rental car parking lots are located a short walk or shuttle ride from the terminal.

Public Transportation

Airport coach services (such as Flybus and Airport Direct) are the most common form of public transport. They are scheduled to coincide with flight arrivals and departures, offering direct routes to Reykjavik's main bus terminal and options for hotel drop-offs. The public bus, Strætó (Route 55), also connects the airport to Reykjavik, offering a cheaper but slower journey with multiple stops.

Well run and spacious airport Posted by TigerFlyer on May 14, 2022

We landed here from Newark NY USA (KEWR) on United AL. Customs was friendly and easy. Take the rental car bus from terminal to the rental car lots. Don't walk or follow signs. Get off at one of five stops, depending on your reservation. Be ready for a long list of expensive car insurance choices.
