The route
South on the M1
A short run that traffic decides. The M1 brings you to the edge of the city, and the last few kilometres depend on the hour and on where you are staying.
Dublin Airport
Pickup · T1 or T2 arrivals
Tell us the flight and we know the terminal. Your chauffeur waits in that arrivals hall with a name sign.
Dublin Port Tunnel
When it is quicker
For the docklands and the south side the tunnel can beat the city streets. It is tolled, and the toll is already inside your price.
Dublin City Centre
Drop-off · any address
Hotel door, office reception or apartment block, north or south of the Liffey.
Vehicle
Which car for this run
Luggage decides more often than passenger count. Two people with four large cases travel better in an Executive MPV.
Executive Sedan
2 pax · 2 cases
Two travellers with hand luggage and a case each.
Executive MPV
7-8 pax · up to 10 cases
The default for families and any party with golf clubs. Every seat taken leaves less room for cases.
Minibus
16 pax
Tour groups and corporate parties travelling together.

Questions
About this route
How long does it take from Dublin Airport to Dublin city centre?
About 30 min for 16 km in normal traffic. Morning and evening rush hours on the M1 and in the city can add to that, which is why we track your flight rather than a fixed pickup time.
How much is a private transfer from Dublin Airport to Dublin city?
This route is charged at our minimum fare, the lowest price for any private transfer we run. The price is per vehicle and fixed in your written quote.
Which terminal will the chauffeur meet us at?
The terminal your flight lands at, Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. We read it from the flight number, so you do not need to tell us.
Is there a bus from Dublin Airport to the city centre?
Yes. The Aircoach 700 runs from Terminal 1 to O’Connell Street through the night, and the comparison above gives its times from the operator’s own timetable. A private car takes you to the door, which matters with children, heavy cases or a late arrival.
Can you take us to the Convention Centre or a stadium in Dublin?
Yes. The Convention Centre in the docklands, the Aviva Stadium and the RDS in Ballsbridge, and Croke Park are all regular drop-offs for conference and match-day guests.
