Question 5

How do I get from Keflavik airport to Reykjavik?

Accepted Answer

The Flybus and Airport Direct coaches run to BSI terminal in Reykjavik in about 50 minutes and cost 3,999-4,499 ISK one way, timed to every arriving flight. A taxi is 20,000-25,000 ISK for the 47 km, and hire cars are picked up from lots a short shuttle from the terminal. There is no train. If your flight lands after midnight, the Flybus still runs; it’s the most reliable option in winter weather.

Question 6

Do I need to hire a car in Iceland?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for anything beyond Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and the Blue Lagoon in Grindavik. There is no passenger rail, and Straeto buses to Vik, Hofn or Akureyri run once a day at most and stop in winter. A 2WD works June to September on Route 1; from October to May you want a 4x4, especially for the north and east. Budget 8,000-15,000 ISK a day for a small car in summer, plus roughly 320 ISK per litre for petrol.

Question 7

Is Iceland good for families or better for couples?

Accepted Answer

Both, but the shape of the trip differs. Families do well basing in Reykjavik or Akureyri with day trips, using geothermal pools like Laugardalslaug and Myvatn Nature Baths where children under 16 are usually free. Couples tend to move more, doing the Ring Road or splurging on Ion Adventure near Thingvellir or the Retreat at Blue Lagoon. Long driving days between Hofn and Egilsstadir (265 km, minimal stops) are hard with small children.

Question 8

What should I book early for an Iceland trip?

Accepted Answer

For July and August, book hotels in Vik, Hofn, Myvatn and Landmannalaugar huts by February at the latest, as rural inventory is tiny. The Retreat at Blue Lagoon and Deplar Farm sell out 6-9 months ahead year-round. Ice cave tours in Vatnajokull from November to March book up two months ahead, and the Norrona ferry to Seydisfjordur with a vehicle needs booking by spring. Reykjavik 101 hotels for Iceland Airwaves in early November go within weeks of the lineup drop.

Question 9

What’s the typical nightly rate for a hotel in Iceland?

Accepted Answer

A mid-range three-star double in Reykjavik runs 25,000-38,000 ISK depending on season, and slightly less in Akureyri, Selfoss or Borgarnes at 20,000-30,000 ISK. Guesthouses with shared bathrooms in Hveragerdi or rural south coast start around 14,000 ISK. Top-end properties like Ion, Deplar Farm and the Retreat sit at 80,000-150,000 ISK. Rates in July are typically 40-60% higher than in October or February for the same room.
