Iceland is a beautiful country, but let’s be honest, it is not cheap. From food and transport to activities, prices can add up very quickly. Whether you live here or are visiting for a short trip, finding ways to save money makes a big difference, and this is where discount and deal apps come in handy.
These apps help you find cheaper meals, special offers, cashback, and discounts at places you already visit and on things you probably already buy. Instead of hunting for deals online or asking around, they bring everything right there on your phone.
Discount apps are especially useful in cities like Reykjavík, where eating out, transport, and entertainment can be expensive. Tourists also benefit a lot, as these apps help stretch travel budgets without missing out on good experiences. The best part is that most of these apps are easy to use and free to download.
In this guide, we will look at some of the best discount and deal apps in Iceland, explain what they do, how they help you save money, and why they are the best. Check them out.
Icelandic Coupons is an app (or digital coupon system) that helps you save money on meals, drinks, entertainment and more all over Iceland. It gathers lots of coupon deals from popular spots, including things like 2-for-1 deals and food or bar discounts that you can use when out and about. You can find deals for restaurants, cafés, bars, and entertainment. It makes for a great tool to find good bargains in one place.
Barhopp is a great tool for finding the best happy hour deals and events across Reykjavík’s bars and nightlife venues. It shows you which bars are currently offering happy hour deals, what events are happening soon, live music, quizzes, and even drink specials in the city. It even works offline, so you don’t need a strong internet connection to use it when exploring.
Barhopp isn’t just about saving money. It also helps you enjoy Iceland’s vibrant social scene and nightlife without paying full price for drinks. It is one of the best options for people looking to save on drinks and find nightlife deals while in Reykjavík.
Guide to Iceland offers access to a VIP Club that gives exclusive discounts once you book something through their platform (like a tour, hotel, car rental or activity). After booking, you unlock deals at restaurants, bars, stores and experiences around Iceland, everything from 20 - 40% off meals to big savings on drinks or local attractions. These offers are accessible via the Guide to Iceland app or website.
This is a great tool for travellers who use Guide to Iceland for bookings and want extra savings during their trip.
Parka is a useful app for handling parking and campsite fees in Iceland. While it is not a discount app in the traditional sense, it does often save you money compared to paying at machines, especially when you find cheaper spots or manage multiple payments in one place.
You can use Parka in Reykjavík, Akureyri and many tourist areas. This especially makes it a great, handy option if you are on a road trip around the country.
Living or travelling in Iceland does not have to mean spending a lot of money. Discount and deal apps make daily life more affordable. They help you enjoy meals out, explore cafés, and try activities without always paying full price.
These apps also save time. Instead of searching for deals online, everything is already organised for you. You simply open the app, check the offers, and choose what suits you best, making budgeting easier and less stressful.
