About this experience

Private Airport Transfer – Reykjavík & Keflavík in a Ford Focus RS rally car

Arrive in style or make a bold exit — this private airport transfer isn’t just about getting from point A to B. It’s about traveling with character. In our 500-horsepower, road-legal Ford Focus RS, a licensed chauffeur turns the journey between Reykjavík and Keflavík International Airport into something unforgettable.

Whether you’re landing in Iceland for the first time or heading home, this is a way to begin or end your trip on the highest note.

The Drive

Covering 50 km (31 miles), the route takes you through volcanic lava fields, coastal stretches, and Iceland’s wide-open landscapes. With its intelligent all-wheel drive and upgraded suspension, the Focus RS ensures a ride that is smooth, confident, and comfortable.

Need a stop along the way? Just ask. If time allows, we can pause for photos or to soak in a scenic viewpoint before continuing on.

The Car — Spirit

This isn’t your average airport taxi. Our Focus RS, nicknamed Spirit, has been carefully upgraded to blend power, stability, and comfort:

  • Turbocharged Engine Upgrade — Effortless acceleration
  • Intelligent AWD System — Confidence on Iceland’s diverse roads
  • Performance Suspension — Smooth handling, tuned for passenger comfort
  • Custom Exhaust System — A distinctive soundtrack to your journey
  • Premium Interior — Sport seats and modern tech for a comfortable ride

Note: Spirit has four bookable seats, though it is best suited for three adults and one smaller individual or child, given the car’s compact performance layout. It is also crucial to inform us about the amount and/or size of luggage since the trunk has limited space.

Your Experience
  • Door-to-door service — Reykjavík ↔ Keflavík International Airport
  • Licensed taxi service — reliable, punctual, and professional
  • A distinctive rally car unlike anything else on the road
  • Scenic, private transfer tailored to your needs

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 01:00, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.
  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    The driver was super friendly and clearly knows his stuff, which made it even better. It felt safe but still gave that real racing thrill. Totally worth it if you’re into cars or just want to try something different while in Iceland.

    I met Daniel earlier in the day on another tour. However, later I needed a ride from the Blue Lagoon to a hotel in Reykjavik with all my luggage. He offered to pick me up in his race car taxi, and I had no idea what to expect. I messaged him from the lagoon to agree on a pick up time. After that, it became a bit surreal... he picked me up right on time in a beautiful blue race car. It was the most fun “taxi" ride l've ever had. In addition, Daniel is an amazing tour guide and took time to show me the sights and tell me about Iceland along the way. Whether you need a tour, a ride to the airport, or want to hunt for the northern lights with one of the most knowledgeable hunters in the field, just call Daniel. You will not regret.

Airport transfers — questions people ask

How do I get from Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík?

It is about 50 kilometres and 45 minutes by road; there is no train. Scheduled airport coaches run to the BSÍ terminal after every arrival and are the cheapest option. Private transfers (/experience/942190/, /experience/1193487/) meet you at the door and drop you at your hotel, worth it for families or late arrivals. Taxis are expensive. If you are stopping at the Blue Lagoon, book a transfer that includes it (/experience/1036423/).

How early should I be at Keflavík Airport for my flight?

Two and a half hours before a European flight and three before North America; the airport is small and queues bunch around the morning and afternoon departure waves. From central Reykjavík allow 45 to 60 minutes' driving plus a buffer in winter weather. That means leaving your hotel three and a half to four hours before departure. Coaches and transfers work backwards from your flight time when you book.

How do I get to Landmannalaugar without a 4x4?

By highland bus. From late June to September, scheduled transfers run from Reykjavík to Landmannalaugar (/experience/247406/, /experience/914986/) and back, about four hours each way on gravel and river crossings. The return-in-a-day option (/experience/270187/) gives you several hours at the site. Rental cars without 4x4 are not insured on these roads and get stuck. If you are hiking Laugavegur, the luggage transfer (/experience/1036525/) moves your bag hut to hut.

Is a private airport transfer worth it?

For three or more people, or a night arrival, yes. The coach drops you at a terminal or a hotel bus stop and you may need a shuttle or a walk with luggage; a private car goes door to door and waits if your flight is late. For a couple on a daytime flight with light bags, the coach is fine and much cheaper. Check the tour page for what happens if your flight is delayed.
