How do I get from Keflavík airport to Reykjavík city center?
For one traveler we recommend the Strætó bus 55 to BSÍ at ISK 2,400, 72 min, which is also the cheapest way in; the fastest is the Flybus coach to BSÍ at ISK 3,999, 45 min. Every option below is priced as a total for your party and says where it leaves you.

Data in IcelandAiralo
An eSIM for Iceland, installed before you fly, works in the arrivals hall: tickets, maps, the driver's messages.
A flight three or more hours late, or cancelled at short notice, can be owed up to €600 a passenger under EU and UK rules, depending on the flight. AirHelp charges only if the claim succeeds.
These links pay us a commission. They never change which transfer we rank first.
Arriving late?
Not everything runs around the clock: the Strætó bus 55 to BSÍ runs 06:27–16:54, Monday to Friday, and the Bus 55 to Fjörður, then city bus 1 runs 06:27–22:54. Outside those hours, the Flybus coach to BSÍ and the BSR taxi, fixed airport price and the Hreyfill taxi, fixed price booked online and the Pre-booked private transfer are what remain. Set the hour you leave arrivals and the board keeps only what is running.
Luggage
Two bags of up to 23 kg each in the hold and one small carry-on, free. Skis, bicycles and other odd-sized items cost ISK 1,500 to 3,800 and must be declared when booking.
Not going to Reykjavík at all?
Other cities from this airport on a published fare, priced for your party
The Flybus stop is just outside the arrivals hall; the coach waits for every flight and leaves 30 to 60 minutes after it lands. Bus 55 leaves from the Strætó stop near Kjóavellir, on the departures side of the terminal, not from the arrivals door.
Tickets
Flybus sells at its desk beside the door in the arrivals hall, online and at BSÍ; a mobile ticket is enough, and the desk is the only place that takes cash. Bus 55 cannot be booked: pay the driver by card or cash when you board.
The taxi rank
Taxis wait directly outside the arrivals area, 24 hours a day. The airport tells you to ask the price before the journey starts and to check the price list in the car — a fixed price to Reykjavík must come from that list — and every taxi must take a card or a phone.
Uber and Bolt
Hopp, an Icelandic app, books a licensed taxi at Keflavík and shows the price before you confirm; it names no fixed pickup point, so follow the app after you land. The ride is priced in the app, not by a published fare, so no total for it appears here.
Luggage
Flybus carries two bags of up to 23 kg each and one small carry-on per person free; skis, bicycles and other odd-sized items cost ISK 1,500 to 3,800 and must be declared when booking. On bus 55 you load your own bag into the hold — it must be one you can carry yourself.

ISK 3,999 per adult, one way, to BSÍ; youths 6 to 15 ISK 1,999; children 1 to 5 free. Flybus+ — the same coach plus a smaller shuttle from BSÍ to your hotel or the nearest of its numbered city stops — is ISK 5,299, youths 2,649. Four or more people and a return booked together get an automatic discount; the size is not published.
There is no timetable from the airport: the coach leaves 30 to 60 minutes after each flight lands, whatever the hour, and a delayed flight keeps your ticket valid for the next coach.
Flybus+ adds the hotel shuttle for ISK 1,300 more. BSÍ is about ten minutes on foot from Hallgrímskirkja, so for the centre the plain ticket is often enough.
A single ticket is one way only. Book the return with it and the second leg is discounted; four or more travelling together are discounted automatically. Neither figure is published, so this page prices full singles.
Seven of you pay ISK 27,993 here against ISK 26,500 in a BSR minibus booked ahead; six pay 23,994 and the coach still wins.
Cash is taken only in króna and only at the airport counter; cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay and WeChat Pay everywhere.

Check the front of the bus: "Reykjavík-BSÍ" goes through, "Fjörður" stops in Hafnarfjörður. Only 06:27, 07:54, 14:54, 15:54 and 16:54 go through, and only on weekdays.
At the weekend no bus 55 reaches Reykjavík. Take one to Fjörður and change to city bus 1 — ISK 2,490 on two tickets, 84 minutes.
The stop is on the departures side of the terminal, not outside arrivals, and the bus cannot be booked: turn up and pay the driver.
ISK 1,599 less than the Flybus for 27 minutes more, but five buses a day against a coach for every flight; nothing runs after 22:54 or before 06:27.

Two tickets: ISK 1,800 to the driver of the 55, card or cash, then ISK 690 on bus 1 — tap a contactless card or use the Klapp app. ISK 2,490 together, ISK 90 more than the direct bus. Ages 12 to 17 pay ISK 900 and 345; children 11 and under ride both free.
This is the public-transport answer on any weekend and on most weekday buses: the 55 ends at Fjörður bus station and bus 1 continues from the same station to the centre in about 27 minutes.
The connection is timed — eight to eleven minutes at Fjörður on every trip — so the 84 minutes hold; the last 55 of the day (22:54) meets the 23:51 bus 1.
Two fares, not one: the ISK 1,800 provincial ticket does not cover the city bus. Tap a contactless card on bus 1 for the ISK 690 single, or use the Klapp app.
On a weekday at 06:27, 07:54, 14:54, 15:54 or 16:54 stay on the bus instead: it goes through to BSÍ for ISK 2,400 in 72 minutes.

ISK 1,990 less than Hreyfill's car and 3,240 less than its minibus for the same ride; BSR's figures are the older of the two lists.

Hreyfill's tariff, in force since 18 March 2026: ISK 22,500 for a car of up to four and ISK 29,250 for a minibus of five to eight, fixed when the ride is bought online, plus the ISK 490 airport fee on every ride leaving the terminal. The company's price, not the airport's.
Eight people flip here: ISK 29,740 for the minibus against ISK 31,992 in Flybus fares. Seven still pay less on the coach, 27,993.
Only online bookings get the fixed price. At the rank the meter runs: ISK 880 to start, then ISK 477 a kilometre for the first four and 364 after that by day (08:00 to 16:00 on weekdays), 564 and 452 at night and weekends, for a ride of about 50 km.
A minibus for five to eight on the meter costs 30% more than a car; the fixed price already prices it separately.
On Good Friday, Easter Day, 17 June, Christmas and New Year the meter carries a 35% surcharge; the fixed price is not stated to change.

Worth knowing
Bus 55 is signed "KEF – Airport – Reykjavík", but only five weekday buses go to Reykjavík: 06:27, 07:54, 14:54, 15:54 and 16:54. Every other bus, and every weekend bus, ends at Fjörður in Hafnarfjörður.
From Fjörður, city bus 1 leaves for the centre about ten minutes after each bus 55, until 00:21. The two tickets come to ISK 2,490 — ISK 90 more than the direct bus — and the whole trip takes 84 minutes.
The Flybus is ISK 3,999 to BSÍ and leaves 30 to 60 minutes after every arriving flight, day and night. There is no timetable from the airport and no night without a coach; the timetable is on the way back, 04:00 to 22:30 from BSÍ.
No authority sets a taxi fare. Two companies publish a fixed price to Reykjavík when booked ahead: BSR ISK 21,000 for up to four and 26,500 for five to eight; Hreyfill ISK 22,990 and 29,740 including the airport fee. At the rank the meter runs.
Seven people flip to the taxi: ISK 27,993 on the Flybus against a BSR minibus at 26,500. Six do not — 23,994 on the coach. Nothing beats the bus: eight on the 55 pay ISK 19,200.
The airport says it is about 50 km from the centre on its transport and taxi pages and about 40 km on its driving page; the coach operator says 50 km and 45 minutes. Plan on 45 minutes by road.
Pay the bus driver by card or cash; the Klapp app does not sell the airport fare. Flybus takes cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay; cash only in króna and only at its airport counter.
