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 2017), 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 summer of 2018. We will update the website accordingly.

Some people have however rented a locker to keep it available for later use. If you wish to do that, please leave a note in the locker, telling us how long you intend to keep the locker. If we find an empty but rented locker, we will release the locker and end the rent period.
I will not be able to get my baggage before the maximum storage period ends. What will happen?
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.
If you are unable to retrieve your baggage within the 30 day storage period, please send us a message here and let us know so we won´t remove it.
