Keflavík Airport sits on the Reykjanes peninsula, about 50 km from downtown Reykjavík. The Flybus is the coach most people actually take: you land, clear arrivals, walk to the marked pickup, and you are in the city in about 45 minutes. A taxi is faster and much more expensive. Hiring a car at KEF is the move if you are leaving on the Ring Road the same day — not if you are sleeping in 101 tonight.

Book the round-trip before you fly. Summer evenings and any late inbound from North America fill the coaches. The ticket is the Reykjavík Excursions Flybus, sold here through Viator so the booking sits on the same affiliate as the rest of the trip. Drop-off is at the BSÍ bus terminal and selected hotels in the city.

Why book this

  • About 45 minutes, not a taxi meter

    KEF to Reykjavík is a highway run. The coach is the default for a city stay. Save the car hire for the morning you actually leave town.

  • Round-trip is the one to book

    You will make this journey twice. Buying both legs now is cheaper than scrambling at BSÍ on departure day, and you already know your outbound flight.

  • Hotel drop-off on most tickets

    The coach ends at BSÍ. Many tickets include a connecting drop at central hotels. Read the pickup list on the product before you pay — not every guesthouse is on it.

What’s included

  • Flybus coach between Keflavík Airport (KEF) and Reykjavík
  • Round-trip option so the return to the airport is already paid
  • Drop-off at BSÍ and selected Reykjavík hotels on most tickets
  • Instant confirmation and live availability on Viator

Before you go

Do not wait until you land

Walk-up tickets exist and cost more, and the last coaches of a delayed evening can be full. Book on wifi at home, screenshot the voucher, walk out of Komur to the Flybus signs.

Build in time on the way back

Be at KEF three hours before a transatlantic departure. The coach needs about 45 minutes in normal weather, longer in winter wind. The 90-minute buffer people use in other cities is tight here.

Car vs bus

If the first night is Reykjavík and you do not want downtown parking, take the bus. If you are driving the South Coast tomorrow morning, pick the car up at KEF and skip this ticket. Do not pay for both.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the Flybus from Keflavík to Reykjavík?

About 45 minutes to BSÍ in normal traffic. Hotel drop-offs add a little. Winter storms and wind can slow the highway — leave earlier than you would in summer.

Where does the Flybus drop you in Reykjavík?

The main stop is the BSÍ bus terminal. Most round-trip tickets include a connecting drop at listed city hotels. If your stay is a private apartment off the list, budget a short taxi or city bus from BSÍ.

Should I take a taxi instead?

A taxi is a fixed high fare for up to four people and door-to-door. It makes sense for a family landing at 1am with a lot of luggage. For one or two people on a normal flight, the Flybus is the product that sells because it is cheaper and frequent.

Can I use this if I am hiring a car?

No — pick the car up at KEF and drive in. This page is the coach. If you already have a DiscoverCars booking at the airport, skip the bus.
