Compare minivans, people carriers and larger passenger vehicles at Keflavík International Airport for families, tour groups and friends travelling together. Pay close attention to luggage space, wind exposure, driver requirements and pickup arrangements.
Passenger vans are useful for families and small groups starting an Iceland trip at KEF, but vehicle size matters on exposed roads and in tight parking areas. Choose the smallest vehicle that comfortably fits your passengers and luggage, and check whether additional driver or age rules apply to the selected category.

High-sided vehicles can be more affected by Icelandic wind. Follow weather warnings and use extra care when opening doors or driving in exposed areas.
