It may happen in BSI bus station during the tourism high season in July and August that the lockers get full around noon.

I am hiking the Laugavegur trail, I have a stopover in Reykavik, I am exploring the south coast, I´m doing the "golden circle" - Where can I store my bags?
For those hiking the Laugavegur trail, we suggest that you store your bags at one of the Car Parks downtown or the Sundhöllin Swimming Pool.
For those having a stopover in Reykjavik, exploring the south coast, doing the "golden circle" or other short trips out of Reykjavik, we recommend using the lockers in Traðarkot Car Park, BSI bus terminal or Sundhöllin swimming pool. Please note however the limited maximum storage time in BSI bus station.
I am taking the bus to Akureyri, Egilsstaðir, Selfoss, Vík, Skaftafell, Höfn or any other long distance bus in Iceland from Reykjavik, can I store my bags somewhere?
If you are travelling with long distance buses from Reykjavik, it´s most likely you will be leaving from Mjódd bus terminal. We operate luggage lockers in the bus terminal where you can store your bags. Please see here for details on the location.
I´m doing a stopover in Iceland. Are there baggage lockers in Keflavik International Airport?
Please do not confuse Reykjavik Domestic Airport with Keflavik International Airport (often named Reykjavik Airport). The two airports are 45 minutes apart (by car). If you arrive in Iceland by flight, you are most likely arriving at Keflavik International Airport.
At the moment of writing (July 2019), there are no luggage lockers in Keflavik Airport. We are however in communication with the airport and are hoping that we will be able to install lockers before the winter of 2019. We will update the website accordingly.
We do have baggage lockers in Reykjavik Domestic Airport.

It should work. The only difference is that the credit card machine will only ask for your confirmation of payment by pressing the green button but will not ask you to enter your PIN. Your card issuer or bank should be able to provide more information about the payment options.

Firstly, the lockers NEVER open automatically, so your luggage will remain safe.
If you will leave your bags in the luggage lockers longer than the maximum storage period allows, we will remove the bags and take them to another locker facility, usually the Traðarkot Car park (see here for location details). We will add a service charge of 3000 ISK on top of the standard storage fees, both of which will have to be paid, with a credit or debit card, at pick-up of the luggage.
Please note that sometimes we might not remove the overstayed baggage so you should first check the original location.
