Parking options
There are five types of parking and drop-off zones available at Keflavík Airport:
- P1 – Comfort Parking Premium parking is located next to the check-in hall. These spaces are ideal for those who want to park close to the terminal, whether for short or long stays. These spots also feature snow melting systems.
- P2 – Pick-up from Arrivals Pick-up parking is located on the arrivals side of the terminal and is especially convenient for meeting passengers arriving on flights. The first 30 minutes at P2 are free, giving you plenty of time to greet passengers in the arrivals hall.
- P3 – Standard Parking This is our most affordable parking area and is well-suited for travelers going on longer trips.
- Premium Parking Our Premium Parkings the highest level of convenience. You park your car in specially marked spaces right next to the terminal’s check-in hall. Keys are dropped off in a secure key box near the departure hall, and our staff will move your car to a secure parking area. Upon your return, your car will be waiting in the same spot it was originally parked.
- Drop-Off Lane – Derpartures The drop-off lane (at the departure entrance) is intended for those who need to briefly stop at the terminal to let passengers out, unload luggage, or drop off cargo. A fee applies to vehicles that remain in the drop-off area for more than 5 minutes.
Remember, if you’re not using a car, you can also take a taxi or use airport transfers to get to your destination.
