Name board meet-and-greet - your driver is waiting in the arrivals hall at KEF with your name displayed. No searching, no confusion, no guesswork after a long flight.
Truly private - the vehicle is exclusively for your group from the moment you step outside arrivals. No other passengers are ever added to your transfer.

What To Expect
Arriving in Iceland should feel like the beginning of something great, not a logistics puzzle. Keflavik International Airport (KEF) sits approximately 45 minutes from Reykjavik city centre - a distance that many first-time visitors underestimate, and one that shared buses, taxi queues, and unfamiliar public transport can turn into a slow, stressful start to a trip. This private arrival transfer removes all of that. Your driver monitors your flight in real time, so delays are never a problem - you will not arrive to an empty arrivals hall. A name board with your name is waiting as you exit baggage claim, your luggage is taken care of, and you are driven directly to your Reykjavik hotel in a clean, comfortable private vehicle - no stops, no strangers, no detours. Choose a private sedan for groups of 1 to 3 or a private minivan for groups of 4 to 8. The vehicle is exclusively yours for the full journey. Please note: Keflavik International Airport (KEF) is Iceland's main international airport, located approximately 45 minutes from Reykjavik city centre. It is not the same as Reykjavik domestic airport (RKV), which serves only internal routes.

5.00Our airport transfer was faultless from start to finish - the driver was courteous, on time, and helped with luggage, which made landing and heading into the city really smooth. The vehicle was comfortable and the conversation (and local tips!) made the ride feel so much friendlier than a regular taxi. Highly recommend this if you’d rather start your trip relaxed than dealing with buses or shuttles.
No worries at the airport

5.00The Car Buddy driver was waiting for us outside the Baggage Claim area at KEF (Keflavik Airport in Iceland) with our name on a sign. He arrived earlier than I had arranged in my reservation and we were grateful to see him. He quickly took us and our luggage to the mini-van parked nearby and drove us to our hotel in Reykjavik. He was a good driver and we had a fast, easy trip. Thumbs up! We would definitely use Car Buddy again on a return trip to Iceland.
Fast & efficient ride

5.00Adriana was our private driver and she was wonderful! Met us right outside of baggage holding an electronic sign with my name on it. Lovely clean car and just enough pleasant conversation and music for the approximately 45 minute ride to our hotel. She even pointed out a couple of highlights along the way. I thought the price was reasonable for a private ride with my husband as I didn’t want to do a bus. If you can ask for the lovely Adriana, you should. Great start to my Iceland visit.
