Express coaches
Express coaches are one of the quickest and most convenient ways to reach central Dublin.
Dublin Express – frequent services connecting the airport with Dublin city centre and key locations including Temple Bar, O'Connell Street, Trinity College, Heuston Station and the Docklands.
Aircoach – frequent services connecting Dublin Airport with the city centre and other parts of Dublin.
When traffic is flowing normally, express coaches provide a fast and direct connection.
Public buses
Dublin Bus and other public bus services connect the airport with Dublin city and many suburbs.
They can be a good choice for passengers travelling beyond the city centre or looking for a lower-cost option. However, they generally make more stops and can take longer than an express coach.
Taxi
Taxis are available directly outside the airport terminals and provide a convenient door-to-door service.
They can be particularly useful for families, groups, passengers with lots of luggage or destinations that are not directly served by airport buses.
Private transfer or minibus
Pre-booked private transfers and minibuses offer a direct journey to your hotel, home or other destination and can be particularly convenient for groups.
Rental car
Rental cars provide flexibility for passengers continuing their journey outside Dublin.
For a journey into central Dublin, however, public transport or a taxi may be more convenient because of traffic and parking.
Dublin Airport connectivity
Although Dublin Airport has several transport options, most road based services rely on the same key routes into the city, including the Dublin Port Tunnel and motorway network. When traffic is flowing, express coaches can provide a very fast connection. However, if the tunnel, motorway or main roads are blocked or heavily congested, Dublin Express, Aircoach, public buses, taxis, private transfers and rental cars can all be affected.
