How much does a taxi from Keflavík Airport cost?
Quick answer
A metered taxi from Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík typically costs 20,000–25,000 ISK for the roughly 50 km trip. A fixed-price private transfer is usually cheaper and more predictable — HófyVIP charges from 21,500 ISK per vehicle for 1–4 passengers and 27,500 ISK for 5–8, the same price day or night.
Metered taxi vs fixed-price transfer
A regular metered taxi will quote you nothing in advance — the fare depends on time and traffic and usually lands between 20,000 and 25,000 ISK to central Reykjavík. A fixed-price private transfer tells you the exact fare before you book, so there are no surprises after a long flight.
Is the price per person or per car?
Private transfers are priced per vehicle, not per person. HófyVIP's KEF ⇄ Reykjavík transfer is from 21,500 ISK for 1–4 passengers and 27,500 ISK for 5–8 passengers — so the more of you there are, the better value it is compared with per-person bus tickets.
What affects the cost?
- Number of passengers and luggage — which vehicle size you need.
- Destination — central Reykjavík, a suburb, or a stop such as the Blue Lagoon on the way.
- Time of day — metered taxis can cost more at night; a fixed-price transfer does not.
The predictable alternative
With HófyVIP you pay the same fixed price whatever the hour, your driver tracks your flight, and there is no night or delay surcharge — the fare you are quoted is the fare you pay.
