Elected a private transfer from cruise ship to hotel in town. Glad we did. Taxi line was long. Our driver was prompt/early and waiting for us as we exited cruise terminal. Effortless, efficient, smooth transfer and within ten minutes we reached destination. Worth the expense.

The communication with the car company was excellent...even letting us know they were 78 seconds away (lol). They were right on time. Driver, Freyr, was very personable and helpful. Definitely recommend to use them for your transfer or your tour experience.

Bad Humored driver.

Miguel_S, Nov 2025
Driver was late arriving at port, instructions were not clear where to meet him. Then when we finally met he was in a bad mood, claimed our luggage would not fit even though we had clearly specified the number of items. by the way, they did fit.

Shawn_L, Aug 2025
Helga was excellent. She was timely and it was easy to find her. Far superior to book private transport than wait in the long taxi line at the cruise port.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We couldn’t agree more — having a private driver ready and waiting is such a great way to avoid the long taxi lines at the cruise port.

Perfect pick up!

Tammy_G, Jul 2025
So easy to book. I communicated directly with our driver, Thor, when we arrived at the cruise terminal. We were there an hour early but he still was able to pick us up within 15 minutes. He found us in the crowd, handled all our luggage, visited with us on the drive about The city, our hotel, restaurants, and things you see in walking distance. A perfect introduction to Reykjavik, Iceland@

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Tammy, Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Thor made your transfer smooth and welcoming — from handling your luggage to sharing local tips about Reykjavík. It’s great that he was able to accommodate your early arrival and still provide such a warm introduction to the city. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Iceland! Warm regards, The Iceland Highlights Team

Messaged the provider...

ChengTao_L, Jul 2025
Messaged the provider several times to confirm pickup time and location, waited at the pickup location for more than 2 hours and driver never showed up. Couldn’t wait anymore and had to find alternative transportation. Vendor refused refund. Just a terrible experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear ChengTao_L, Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience. We want to clarify that our team made every effort to connect with your group on the day of service. We sent multiple messages with the driver’s details, including license plate and vehicle type, and attempted to call you several times — unfortunately, our calls only reached voicemail. In fact, two different drivers were dispatched to the pickup point at separate times to try to locate your group. Despite clear communication and proper coordination, there was unfortunately a mismatch at the cruise terminal, which led to the unfortunate outcome. We understand how frustrating this must have been, and we are disappointed as well — especially as we’ve successfully served thousands of cruise passengers this summer with great care and precision. This was a rare situation, and we take it seriously. If you’d like to provide any additional information privately, we’re happy to review this case once more. Our goal is always to improve and ensure a smooth and reliable service for every traveler.

Great service

It was easy to locate the pickup location at the cruise port. Nick, our driver, was on-time, pleasant, and gave us tips for dinner restaurants. I highly recommend this private car service.

While the driver showed...

Michelle_S, Jul 2025
While the driver showed up on time, he dropped us at the wrong hotel! By the time we realized, he was gone! We had to push all our luggage through Reykjavík!

Easy and convenient

Leticia_C, Jul 2025
We went to the designated area. Our driver was 5 minutes early and found us easily. It was better than waiting in the taxi line for a car the could fit 4 people’s luggage.

We were ready to leave the cruise terminal much earlier than the time on my reservation. I contacted the driver and he was able to pick us up within about 5 minutes after we spoke. Was very courteous, gave us information on Reykjavík on the way to our hotel. Would use this service through Viator again.
