    We used it in the summer when we went on holiday. 8 euro per day!!

    Much cheaper to get the coach, depending on the times you are travelling.

    Thanks for that but I am Flying out Tuesday back Thursday! With regard to the times Ulsterbus run 24Hrs

    id reccomend the bus...

    i dropped gf at the airport.. i drove.. bus is much handier.. next time i go down myself (10 weeks away) ill get hte bus

    tho i have a feeling that i will have to drop her off.. and maybe even pick her up again grrrrr

    anyway... the bus driver should know where they are going, i took a wrong turn and ended up at some !!!!!!! shrink. i pooped myself (bare in mind this was 5.30 am in the pitch black after i had dropped her off)

    anyway.. back on topic. i know that its a different car park.. but it cost ne €3 for 45 mins!

    Just back, €25.50 for three days in the official long stay car park which I thought was OK. Seems secure bus service good so no complaints.

    BB, go to the Dublin airport site, they should have all the info you require, and I believe its a 24 hr service.

    No Aircoach at that time of the morning, although there is an Ulsterbus service leaving Dublin Airport at 0320 (you'll find it's a Chambers coach though).

    Timetable at http://www.translink.co.uk/resources2005/pdfs/1976W%20Serv%20200%20A5%20Leaflet%20NI.pdf

    Anyone know of any other trustworthy, off road parking, ie someone mentioned parking at a B&B after staying for the night for a nominal sum...any suggestions?

    Forking out 100-120 just to park a car...sticks in my throat!

    Going away shortly for 6 nights - from Dublin.
    Flight at 19.20 (manageable by bus).....back at 02.15

    + would there be a bus there for me at 2.15am (service seems to slow after midnight)?


    :T


    Offical carpark around £40 plus fuel & tolls(£2 or so) if you stick to the motorway

    Translink are advertising offers for the Bus (But I can't find them just now!) so depending on how many are travelling and if kids are involved would influence my decision!

    Terrible on top of all the other (hidden) extras we have to pay :mad:

    I was away about a month and wasn't able to source another reasonable car park, having said that we were not stopping over in Dublin. If you have any joy please post it.
