Keflavík airport parking: prices, free minutes and the drop-off trap.

Short answer

Leaving the car for a trip? Use P3: 2,490 kr a day, less after a week, and cheaper still if you book online in advance. Dropping someone off? You get 5 free minutes in the drop-off lane, then it's 500 kr a minute — use P2 (30 free minutes) for anything longer.

How payment works

There are no tickets: cameras read your number plate on the way in and out. You can pay:

  • with the Autopay, Parka or EasyPark apps (Parka and EasyPark add their own service fee);
  • online at the airport's website or autopay.io;
  • at the payment machines inside the terminal.

You have 48 hours after leaving to pay. After that, an invoice with a 1,490 kr service fee is sent — for a rental car, to the rental company, which will pass it on.

Tips

  1. Book P3 online before you fly. You can book up to 2 hours before arriving, and change or cancel up to 2 hours before.
  2. Don't wait in the drop-off lane. If your passenger is slow with the luggage, five minutes go fast. Use P2 instead.
  3. Leaving and coming back counts as a new stay, even within a booked period.
  4. Returning a rental car? Rental companies have their own return areas — follow the signs for your company, not the public car parks.
