Paying for your Iceland airport transfer: euros, cards, timing

  • 4 minute read

IceTransfer prices every transfer in euros, and the fare is for the whole vehicle, not per person. If your card is in dollars, pounds or another currency, your card issuer converts the euro amount and may add a foreign transaction fee. For when payment is taken, check the booking form before you confirm, or ask us on +354 770 0444.

Do you pay when you book?

Check the payment step on the booking form before you confirm. If you want to know before you start, or anything is unclear, ask us first: call +354 770 0444 or email info@icetransfer.is. We would rather answer a question before you book than sort out a surprise afterwards.

The rest of this page covers what holds for every booking: the currency, what the price covers, and what your card does with a euro charge.

Prices are in euros, for the whole vehicle

Every IceTransfer fare is set and charged in euros. That applies to airport transfers, Blue Lagoon transfers and private day tours alike.

The price is for the whole vehicle, never per person. Every car is private to your party and never shared, so the fare is the same whether one of you travels or the car is full. A larger group in one vehicle pays the same fare as a smaller group in that same class.

The vehicle classes compare like this. Fares shown are for the whole vehicle:

Paying in euros with a dollar, pound or other card

If your card is in a currency other than euros, the charge still goes through in euros. Your card issuer then converts it into your currency.

  • The rate is your bank’s. Your issuer applies its exchange rate on the day it processes the charge, so the figure on your statement may not match a conversion you did yourself on the day you booked.
  • Your bank may add a fee. Some cards add a foreign transaction fee to any charge in another currency. Others do not. Your bank or card provider can tell you which kind you have.
  • If you are offered your home currency, think twice. Some payment pages and card machines offer to convert the charge for you at the point of payment. That rate is often less favourable than your bank’s. Choosing euros leaves the conversion to your own bank.

If you travel often, a card with no foreign transaction fee is worth using for this and for the rest of your trip.

Splitting the fare in your group

Because the fare covers the vehicle, not individual seats, how your group divides it is up to you. Agree it before you book so nobody is working it out in the arrivals hall.

The name on your statement

IceTransfer is run by Lebanon ehf. If you see a charge from Lebanon ehf. after booking with us, that is our legal company name, not an unknown merchant.

If something goes wrong with a payment

If a card is declined, a charge looks different from what you expected, or you see something on your statement you do not recognise, contact us with your booking details:

Tell us the date of the charge, the amount in your currency, and the name the booking is under. That is usually enough for us to find it.

If you are ready, book your transfer. For how the airport pickup itself works, see private airport transfer.

Questions

Is the price per person or for the car?

For the car. Every IceTransfer fare covers the whole vehicle, and the vehicle is private to your party, so the price does not change with the number of passengers within a class.

My card is in US dollars. Will I be charged more?

The charge is in euros and your card issuer converts it at its own rate. Some cards also add a foreign transaction fee and some do not, so check with your bank before you travel.

Should I choose to pay in my home currency if I am offered it?

Usually not. A conversion offered at the point of payment is often at a less favourable rate than your own bank’s, so choosing euros generally works out better.

Are day tours and Blue Lagoon transfers also charged in euros?

Yes. Everything IceTransfer sells is priced in euros, and the price is always for the whole vehicle.

I see a charge from Lebanon ehf. Is that you?

Lebanon ehf. is IceTransfer’s legal company name. If you are unsure about a charge, email info@icetransfer.is or call +354 770 0444 with the date and amount and we will check it.
