NOT YOUR AVERAGE TRAVEL AGENCY.
Small Enough to Care. Big Enough to Deliver.
CarBuddy started with a simple idea: just the two of us, one car, two cats, and the idea that travel should feel personal. We wanted travel to feel like visiting a friend, not a transaction.
Today, we have grown into a dedicated boutique travel agency in Iceland. While we still run things hands-on, we now coordinate a trusted circle of local drivers and guides who share our philosophy. You might meet Matt or Adriana in person, or you might ride with someone from our extended crew. Either way – you’re in good hands.
We are a fully licensed tour operator authorized by the Icelandic Tourist Board.
Your Pace, Not a Schedule
We can’t make the crowds at Gullfoss disappear, but we optimize the route so you never feel rushed. Stay longer where you want, skip what you don't. The clock works for you.
Tailored to You
As a boutique travel agency, we don't believe in 'one-size-fits-all'. Whether you need a complex multi-day itinerary or a simple transfer, we build the plan based on your style and energy.
We've Got Your Back
Iceland is unpredictable. Flights get delayed, storms happen. We are agile enough to navigate changes and adjust plans quickly, ensuring your trip stays smooth whatever the weather throws at us.
THE OPERATIONS TEAM
Matt
Head of Operations & Chief Navigator
Can't stand taxis. Talks too much. Lives for logistics puzzles and last-minute miracles. Once told a guest there's no snow in Iceland – hasn't forgiven himself since. Favorite quote: “We'll fix it. I have a plan.”
Adriana
Digital Wizard & Secret Tourism Nerd
Built the website. Introspective. Quiet in real life, deadly efficient online. Savage to Matt, somehow adored by guests. The calm in the storm. Her phone is always dirty. No one knows why. Favorite activity: Optimizing everything.
AND OUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT CREW
Enzo
Director of Logistics
Dignified. Patient – to a point. Likes being carried (on his terms). Eats like a Viking. If Enzo wants something, you’ll know. And you’ll give it to him.
Ori
Head of Security (and Cuteness)
Small. Fierce. Nap-loving. Master of facial expressions and putting neighborhood cats in line. If you wake her up, you’ve made an enemy for life.
STORIES FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT
EXCELLENT Based on 56 reviews Posted on H-S2025-10-19Verified No worries at the airport Ready and waiting to get us to our destination, clean and warm vehicle. Water bottles were a nice touch. Great information and suggestions from driver. Felt safe.Posted on 24682025-08-26Verified Great transfer to the airport! The driver to the airport was awesome! Met me in the hotel, which is a little bit difficult at the Hôtel parliament because the road in front is blocked off. Great driver Dash dropped me off right after the correct place gave me instructions, etc..Posted on Mike W2025-08-12Verified Private car from KEF airport to cruise terminal. Ariana arrived early, tested us ahead of time to coordinate pickup which was seamless. She then found a ways around rush hour traffic to get us to our cruise ship in plenty of time to make our specialty dining reservation. Professional, personable, and quality service from end to end.Posted on Alison L2025-08-12Verified Reykjavík transfer - Adriana Adriana arrived on time. She was friendly and informative on the trip.

They helped us get to the airport later in the day for a new flight. On time. Great conversation and service.Posted on Barbara R2025-06-22Verified Fast, efficient and courteous airport transportation The Car Buddy driver was waiting for us outside the Baggage Claim area at KEF (Keflavik Airport in Iceland) with our name on a sign. He arrived earlier than I had arranged in my reservation and we were grateful to see him. He quickly took us and our luggage to the mini-van parked nearby and drove us to our hotel in Reykjavik. He was a good driver and we had a fast, easy trip. Thumbs up!
