🚍Shuttle Buses (Shared Transfers)

Shuttle buses are a popular budget option for traveling from Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík, mainly used by solo travelers.

They operate on fixed routes and stop only at central drop-off points or selected hotels, rather than offering true door-to-door service.

Typical price range: Shuttle bus tickets start from around 4,000 ISK per person and can increase depending on the final drop-off location in Reykjavík.

Good option if:

• you are traveling alone

• you are on a strict budget

• your accommodation is close to a main shuttle drop-off point
  

Things to be aware of:

• waiting time after landing while passengers are collected

• multiple stops along the route, extending total travel time

• limited service during late-night or early-morning hours

• travelers staying in apartments or Airbnb often need to walk with luggage or take an additional taxi from the drop-off point
  

Important cost consideration:

While shuttle buses may seem cheaper at first, the total cost can add up quickly.

For two or more passengers, the combined price of shuttle tickets — plus the cost of a taxi from the drop-off location to your accommodation — often makes shuttle transfers less cost-effective than a private airport transfer.

Shuttle buses can work for simple, low-budget trips, but are usually less convenient for travelers who prefer a direct, door-to-door journey after a long flight.
