Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper Reykjavík Luggage Storage in BSI Bus Terminal from BagBee is €12 — €222 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

Changing your mind	Not stated	Free until 2 h before

On everything we can measure, the BagBee tour is the better buy. The €222 is not buying anything we can point to, so unless you want this operator in particular, take the cheaper one.
