Private transport In Luxury MPV/SUV 5pax Keflavik Airport-RKV
The most useful thing about this service is its door-to-door simplicity. You and up to four companions ride privately from Keflavik International Airport to your Reykjavik hotel, or make the same trip in reverse, without waiting for a shared bus or hauling bags through another transfer.
I like the small-group comfort and the practical extras: child seats can be arranged, and the vehicle offers bottled Icelandic water, 5G internet, umbrellas, and raincoats. The main drawback is price. At $319 per group for one way, it makes the most sense when five people share the cost, or when comfort and privacy matter more than saving money.
Key points to know before booking

- One-way private service: Travel between Keflavik International Airport and Reykjavik city, with only your group in the vehicle.
- About 55 minutes: The stated distance is roughly 65 kilometers, but traffic and your hotel location affect the total time.
- For up to five people: You receive a private luxury MPV or SUV with a chauffeur rather than a shared airport shuttle.
- Useful family equipment: Booster seats and infant seats are available if you request them in advance and provide each child’s age.
- English-speaking drivers: Chauffeurs hold Icelandic road administration license number 450 for chartered vehicles.
- More than a basic transfer: Expect glacier water, high-speed 5G internet, rain gear, Bluetooth, and an upgraded entertainment system.
A private start or finish in Iceland
Keflavik International Airport is not in Reykjavik. The airport and city are about 65 kilometers apart, so your first or last Iceland drive takes close to an hour. That matters after a long flight, especially if you have children, bulky bags, or a late arrival.
This is not a sightseeing tour with scheduled stops. It is a dedicated airport transfer. You are paying for a vehicle and chauffeur reserved for your group, with pickup offered at the airport or in Reykjavik. The route is direct, and the exact travel time depends on traffic and the location of your hotel.
I like that the service works in both directions. You can use it after landing in Iceland, then book the same kind of ride for your departure. The one-way setup also lets you choose private transport only when it is most useful, instead of paying for a return service you may not need.
The ride itself may be the first chance you have to see Iceland outside the airport. You might catch broad volcanic terrain and open stretches of road through the windows, but the service should be judged as transport, not as a guided excursion. The driver may know Icelandic facts and figures, but the main job is safe, reliable driving.

What the 55-minute ride is really like

The advertised duration is about one hour, or 55 minutes in the operating information. That is a sensible estimate rather than a promise. Traffic, weather, and your hotel’s position in Reykjavik can change the timing.
A private pickup gives you control over the pace of the arrival. You do not need to wait while a shared vehicle collects passengers at other terminals or hotels. You also avoid a second decision at the airport: finding the right public bus, buying a ticket, and working out where to change or walk.
That convenience has real value if you land tired or arrive with a strict schedule. You can get into the vehicle, settle your bags, and head toward the city. On the return trip, a private transfer can simplify the final stage of your holiday, though you should still allow plenty of time because the stated hour is approximate.
The chauffeur is English-speaking and specially trained for safe and reliable driving. Each driver has license number 450 from Iceland’s road administration, which permits them to drive chartered cars and buses. That detail will not change the scenery outside your window, but it does give you a clear idea of the operator’s professional requirements.
Luxury MPV or SUV for up to five
The vehicle choice is aimed at small groups traveling for business or leisure. The exact model is not specified, so you should think of this as a premium vehicle category rather than a guaranteed make or model.
For five people, the vehicle can be a practical choice because the whole group travels together. You do not need to split up, arrange multiple taxis, or squeeze into separate cars. For two or three people, the space may feel especially generous, though the price becomes harder to justify on a per-person basis.
Luggage deserves a little attention. The service asks you to mention if you have more than average. That is good advice to follow, not a formality. Five people with large suitcases, carry-on bags, camera cases, and outdoor gear need more room than five people with one small bag each.
Send the operator a clear luggage note before arrival. The supplied information does not give a precise baggage allowance, so I would not assume that every combination of oversized cases will fit without advance notice.
Comfort details that matter after a flight
The extras are aimed at making a basic transfer feel less basic. You receive premium bottled water from an Icelandic glacier, and the vehicle has high-speed 5G internet. That can be useful when you need to contact your hotel, check a reservation, or let family know you have landed.
Umbrellas and raincoats are also available. Icelandic weather can shift quickly, and this is a small but smart touch if you arrive without easy access to your luggage. You should not view it as a replacement for proper clothing, but it may help during the walk from the vehicle to a hotel entrance.
The vehicle also includes an upgraded entertainment system with DVD, Bluetooth, and subwoofer speakers. These features will matter more to some groups than others. A business passenger may care most about internet access, while a family with children may appreciate something to occupy the ride.
The important point is that these amenities support the transfer. They do not turn it into a tour. You are still spending most of the hour seated in a vehicle, with the main benefit being a calm, private trip between airport and city.

Child seats, accessibility, and special requests
Families should request an infant seat or booster seat during the booking process. Include the age of each child so the operator can prepare the right equipment. The information does not specify the exact seat type for every age, so giving full details early is the safest approach.
Service animals are allowed. The service is also near public transportation, although the transfer itself is private and does not require you to use public transit. Most travelers can participate, based on the stated operating information.
The vehicle is intended for a small group, but no detailed accessibility information is provided. If you use a wheelchair, have mobility needs, or carry unusual equipment, contact the operator before booking and explain the situation. Do not assume that a luxury MPV or SUV will meet every accessibility need.
The same applies to large amounts of luggage. A quick note about bags, child equipment, or mobility needs can prevent an awkward surprise at the airport.
The people behind the service
The company is ICELIMO LUXURY TRAVEL, and the service uses personal English-speaking chauffeurs. The drivers are described as specially trained for safe driving and familiar with Icelandic facts and figures, so you may receive a little local context during the trip if you want it.
Specific staff members have also handled more involved arrangements. Ryan is noted for arranging a last-minute wedding transfer in Reykjavik and then helping with an airport transfer. Gummi handled arrangements connected with a private round trip from Keflavik to Reykjavik that included a Blue Lagoon stopover.
Those examples show that the company can manage more than a simple airport pickup, but keep the scope clear. The product described here is a one-way transfer. A Blue Lagoon stopover is not listed as part of this $319 service, so you should ask separately about availability, timing, and cost rather than expecting it automatically.
A separate account also describes a female driver who paid close attention to safety and small details, using a clean, quiet, comfortable luxury vehicle. I cannot promise which chauffeur you will receive, but the pattern is clear: the service is built around a personal driver rather than a large coach operation.
Is $319 a fair price?
The price is $319 per group of up to five for one way. Split five ways, that is about $64 per person. With four people, it is about $80 each. For two people, the cost rises to roughly $160 per person, and for a solo passenger it is a costly airport ride.
That calculation is the key to judging the value. A full group gets a private vehicle, direct pickup, English-speaking chauffeur, comfort amenities, and no need to coordinate separate rides. For a family or business group, the price may be reasonable when you value time, privacy, and a smoother arrival.
If you are traveling alone or as a couple, a shared airport option may cost less. The supplied information does not give a comparison price for buses or taxis, so I would check current alternatives before booking. The private service is not the budget choice by design.
It can also be worth more when your arrival is complicated. A late flight, young children, several suitcases, or an important meeting in Reykjavik all make a direct private ride more useful. If you simply need the cheapest way into town, the premium extras may not earn back their cost.
Who will get the most from this transfer?
I would consider this service a good fit for:
- A group of up to five that wants to stay together.
- Families who need an infant seat or booster seat.
- Business passengers who want a quiet, connected ride.
- Visitors carrying more luggage than usual, provided they notify the operator.
- Couples who place a high value on comfort and do not want to navigate airport transport.
- Anyone arranging a private return to Keflavik rather than relying on a shared departure service.
I would think twice if you are traveling alone, watching every dollar, or hoping for a full sightseeing experience. This is a well-equipped ride, not a guided tour with planned attractions.
Booking details that deserve attention
Confirmation is provided at the time of booking, and pickup is offered. The transfer is private, so only your group participates. That makes the service more flexible than a shared ride, but you still need to provide accurate arrival or departure information and your Reykjavik hotel location.
Ask the operator about luggage if you have more than average. Request child seats early, with the children’s ages. If you are considering a stop at the Blue Lagoon, treat that as a separate arrangement and confirm the extra details before paying.
Cancellation is free if you cancel at least 24 hours before the experience start time. Inside that window, the amount paid is not refunded, and changes made less than 24 hours before the start time are not accepted. The cutoff uses Iceland local time, so check the timing carefully if you are booking from another country.
Should you book this private Keflavik transfer?
Book it if you want a quiet, direct, private ride and can share the $319 cost across a small group. Families, business visitors, and people with substantial luggage will get the clearest benefit from the vehicle, driver, and practical extras.
Skip it if the lowest possible fare matters most or if you expect a sightseeing tour. The price is high for one person, and the ride lasts about an hour with no listed sightseeing stops.
For the right group, this is a polished way to begin or end an Iceland trip. Just confirm your luggage needs, request child seating in advance, and remember that the quoted price covers one direction only.
