IceTransfer’s fares are set per vehicle for a single journey, and the price list has no separate return fare or return discount. A return trip from Keflavik Airport costs the fare for the arrival leg plus the fare for the departure leg. Booking both before you travel settles both journeys, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before each pickup.
Is a return trip cheaper than two one-way transfers?
No. Our fares are set per vehicle for a single journey, and the price list carries no separate return fare or return discount. A return trip costs the fare for the arrival leg plus the fare for the departure leg.
What you gain by booking both together is not a lower price but certainty: both journeys are fixed before you fly, and you have nothing to arrange on your last morning.
Every price is for the whole vehicle, not per person. Four people sharing one car pay the same fare as one person travelling alone.
What each leg costs
Each leg is charged at the fare for that route. These are the one-way fares for the most common journeys from Keflavik Airport, starting from the cheapest vehicle class. The figures are for the whole vehicle, each way.
| Destination | Drive time | One way, whole vehicle, from |
|---|---|---|
| Reykjavik | About 47 minutes | €110 |
| Hafnarfjordur | About 34 minutes | €110 |
| Blue Lagoon | About 19 minutes | €90 |
| Skarfabakki Harbour | About 46 minutes | €110 |
| Selfoss | About 60 minutes | €245 |
For a return, count the fare twice: once for the drive in, once for the drive back. Every other destination, with a fare for each class, is on every destination, priced.
Which class you choose changes the fare. For Reykjavik and the towns around it, the Standard is the cheapest. For the Blue Lagoon and the longer routes such as Selfoss and Thingvellir, the Comfort is the cheapest class offered. Here is how the classes compare on the Reykjavik route:
| Vehicle | Travellers | Checked bags | Hand bags | This journey |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 3 | 2 | not stated | €110 |
| Comfort | 4 | 2 | 2 | €136 |
| SUV | 4 | 4 | 2 | €150 |
| VAN | 8 | 10 | 8 | €191 |
Think about the luggage for the way home as well as the way in. If you will be flying back with more than you arrived with, pick the class that fits the heavier leg.
Booking both legs: what to enter
The two legs work differently, so they need different details.
The arrival leg: airport to your accommodation
- Date of arrival. The date your flight lands, not the date it departs.
- Flight number. This matters most. We track it, and the pickup time moves with the flight. A delay costs nothing extra.
- Lead passenger’s name. The driver holds a sign with this name inside the arrivals hall, past customs, and carries your luggage to the car.
- Where you are staying. The full address of the hotel, guesthouse or apartment.
- Vehicle class. Chosen for the number of people and the bags you have.
The departure leg: accommodation to the airport
- Date of the pickup. If your flight leaves just after midnight, check you have booked the pickup for the evening before, not the evening of the flight date.
- Pickup address. Where the driver should collect you. This need not be where you were dropped off; if you have moved hotels, enter the last one.
- Pickup time. This is the time the car arrives at your door, not your flight time. Choose a time that leaves you a comfortable margin for check-in and security.
The departure pickup does not follow a flight the way the arrival does. The driver comes to the door at the booked time. If your flight home is moved, tell us so we can change the pickup.
Cars run 24 hours a day, every day of the year, so an early departure is not a problem.
What happens after you book
A confirmation email goes out as soon as the booking is paid. It carries the date, the time, the vehicle class and the price. Check both legs against your flight details when it arrives, especially the date and time of the departure pickup.
Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the pickup time, so booking the return now does not lock you in if your plans change.
If something changes
- Your arrival flight is late: nothing to do. We are watching the flight number and the driver will be there when you land.
- Your flight home is rescheduled: contact us with the new time so the pickup can be moved.
- You are unsure on the day: call +354 770 0444 or email info@icetransfer.is.
If you are stopping at the Blue Lagoon on the way in or out, see the Blue Lagoon transfer page. For how the airport service works in general, see private airport transfer.

Questions
Is the fare per person or for the whole car?
For the whole vehicle. Every car is private to your party, so the fare is the same whether one person travels or the car is full. For a return, you pay the vehicle fare once for each leg.
What if my flight into Keflavik is delayed?
We track the flight number you give at booking, and the pickup time moves with the flight. A delay costs nothing extra, and the driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall when you come through customs.
Will the departure pickup move if my flight home is delayed?
Not on its own. For a pickup at a hotel, guesthouse or apartment, the driver comes to the door at the booked time. If your flight time changes, contact us on +354 770 0444 or at info@icetransfer.is so the pickup can be changed.
Can I cancel the return leg if my plans change?
Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the pickup time. Booking the departure leg early does not commit you if your plans change before then.
Is an early-morning pickup for my flight home possible?
Yes. Cars run 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including the early departures. Book the pickup for the time you want the car at your door, and check the date if the pickup falls after midnight.
