Daytrip is a private car service platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
Daytrip offers private door-to-door transfers with optional sightseeing stops, hourly driver hire, and curated day trips — all with local English-speaking drivers and operating across 130+ countries.
The cancellation policy may vary depending on your trip. The cancellation conditions available for your booking will always be shown before confirming your trip. Depending on eligibility, Daytrip offers different cancellation options:
Non-refundable: If your trip is canceled after confirmation, the amount paid will not be refunded.
Standard: If your trip is canceled at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time, the amount paid will be refunded in full. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before departure are not eligible for a refund.
Flexible: If your trip is canceled at least 1 hour before the scheduled departure time, the amount paid will be refunded in full. Cancellations made less than 1 hour before departure are not eligible for a refund.
Trips booked less than 24 hours before departure may not be eligible for free cancellation unless stated otherwise during the booking process.
Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Know more about traveling from Keflavik
Iceland's weather can change rapidly at any time of year. Always check the Icelandic Met Office forecast and road conditions on road.is before heading out. Pack waterproof, windproof outerwear and layers regardless of the season. Weather delays are common, so build flexibility into your plans, especially in winter.
Iceland is one of the safest countries in the world for visitors. The main risks are environmental rather than criminal: unpredictable weather, deceptive ocean waves at black sand beaches, and unstable lava crusts near volcanic areas. Always follow posted safety signs, stick to marked trails, and register your travel plan on the safetravel.is website.
Keflavik town itself is relatively manageable for strollers, though Iceland's rugged natural landscapes, lava fields, and many outdoor attractions have uneven terrain that can be challenging for wheelchairs and strollers. The Blue Lagoon has accessible facilities. It is worth checking specific attraction accessibility in advance for your needs.
Tipping is not customary in Iceland. Service charges are generally built into prices at restaurants, cafes, and for tours and taxis. If you receive exceptional service, rounding up or leaving a small extra amount is appreciated but not expected at all.
Top attractions include the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa (book well in advance), the Reykjanesviti Lighthouse, the Gardur Lighthouses with their stunning coastal views, the Giantess Cave waterfront attraction, and the dramatic lava fields of the Reykjanes Peninsula. Reykjavik is just 45 minutes away for culture, museums, and nightlife.
Iceland uses the Icelandic krona (ISK). The country is largely cashless, and credit and debit cards are accepted almost everywhere, including remote petrol stations, food trucks, and small shops. It is worth having a card with a chip and PIN, though many US chip-only cards also work without a PIN.
Fresh seafood, Icelandic lamb, and skyr (a thick, protein-rich dairy product similar to yogurt) are staples worth seeking out. Street hot dogs, known as pylsur, are an Icelandic institution. Local fish soup (fiskisupa) is warming and widely available, and Icelandic tap water, sourced from natural springs, is some of the cleanest in the world.
Summer (June to August) brings the famous midnight sun, long warm days, and the best conditions for exploring the Reykjanes Peninsula. For the northern lights, visit from September to March when nights are dark enough. Winter travel can be spectacular but requires careful planning around Iceland's unpredictable weather conditions.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
