*daily rates in Keflavik Airport based on a 1 day rental (24hr period) and for guidance purposes only.

Whilst taxis and buses are a viable option for travelling around Iceland, they are expensive and rather limiting. Far better is to rent a car when you arrive at Keflavik Airport and enjoy the flexibility of having transport on hand when you need it.

Egilsstadir Airport Mini Guide

Major Airlines that Operate From Keflavik Airport
There are many seasonal only airlines but all year round airlines include Icelandair, easyJet, Norwegian, Scandinavian and WOW.

Major Destinations Served by the Airport
The airport has a wide range of destinations but major ones include the US, the UK, Germany, Scandinavia and France.

Onward Journey From the Airport
The only way out of Keflavik Airport is by road so you are limited to the airport transfer bus, taxis and hire cars. It’s five miles from the airport to the main town and the roads are clearly signposted Keflavik in English and Icelandic. Reykjavik, the capital, is fifty kilometres away and again clearly signposted.

Driving Conditions
For much of the year you’ll find it cold and snowy or cool and rainy. In winter, driving isn’t as daunting as you might think as the main roads are regularly cleared but all our hire cars can be equipped with snow chains or winter tyres should you be caught in a sudden snow storm.

Places to Stay
Accommodation ranges from the highly regarded Hotel Keflavik to the more traditional Hotel Berg and charming guesthouses or bed and breakfast establishments such as Guesthouse Keflavik or if you want to overnight at the airport there’s the Bed and Breakfast Keflavik Airport

Must See Places Near Keflavik Airport
  • The Viking Museum called Viking World – an absolutely unique experience
  • The Blue Lagoon – a warm pool that’s full of healing salts and a great way to spend an afternoon. It’s even better in winter when you’ll get a great contrast between the water and air temperature.
  • Whale watching – several boat trips leave from the harbour and you’re almost guaranteed to see a pod of these majestic creatures
  • August visitors will be treated to the Festival of Lights – a magical evening event
