Don't Miss the Bus: Why Pickup Time and Departure Time Are Different

Just a friendly reminder: pickup time and departure time are not the same!

While the departure time refers to when the bus leaves the BSI terminal, your pickup time is scheduled 30 minutes earlier at your selected pickup location.

This extra time allows our bus to gather all our wonderful guests from various spots around the city. To ensure you’re ready for your adventure, please be at your pickup point 30 minutes before the departure time listed on your ticket.

Your bus can arrive at any time within that 30-minute window, so a little patience goes a long way. If your pickup hasn’t arrived within the first 15–20 minutes, don’t hesitate to call us at +354 599 0000.


How does your pickup bus look?:

The vehicle picking you up could be:

  • A Sprinter-type minibus
  • A medium-sized electric bus
  • A large city bus

All buses will clearly display the Reykjavik Excursions and/or Flybus logos, so you can easily recognize them.
