HI all

I'm lucky enough to be getting a wee break later this year but I am flying through Dublin. Any suggestions as to where i could park?

Or is there a cheaper way - flights are late at night and early morning.

Thanks in advance for all your lep.

Depends how many of you are going and how long for to see whether it's worhwhile to share the cost of the parking or get the coach down.
I think Q park is about the cheapest for parking and I paid £14 return on the coach. It goes every hour on the hour from Belfast and on the quarter hour from Sprucefield day and night.

just to add, i have a 6am flight next saturday morning (so bus wasn't an option as I live 40 miles from belfast and would have to find somewhere safe in belfast to leave the car if i got the aircoach at 2 in the morning) - Dublin airport authority have a special internet offer on their parking, €7 per day, which was cheaper than bewleys (€8) and quickpark (€7.50)

Just a reminder/lesson about poor private sector commercial activities!!

Booked car in for a week online, arrived, got parked, got the ticket, but realised they only ran hourly trips to airport during the day and then increase it to 1/2 hourly later in evening.

On return trip we got to the bus stand...the 10.45 bus didnt arrive til 11pm, the driver then told us that he was only there to pick up the Lufthansa crew!!! We would have to wait.....or take a taxi back and claim money back from hotel!!!

A few choice words were exchanged, he shrugged his shoulders, and handed me his mobile phone and said speak to the hotel!!!!!!! They assured me that another bus was on the way in 5 mins........15 mins later it arrived.

Needless to say I complained and recieved a FULL refund...................moral of story, don't put up with shoddy service and ALWAYS complain!

I have used Q park facilities and found the service good. I remember using the official airport car park a couple of years ago and spent ages near midnight being driven round endless car parks (20 minutes) before being dropped off!

I parked in Days last November - it is a secure undeground carpark but was a bit of a mixed experience! I got there at 7.30 am just as a bus was due to leave for the airport, so the receptionist asked me to leave my keys to be valet parked. But on arriving back (after a long cold wait for the bus at the airport, I got my keys from reception and found my car - only to discover the battery was flat. The lights had been left on. It took over an hour for Days to organise jump leads and to get my battery charged. The colleague who suggested that I use Days had been there before and had no problems - but he parked his car himself!

We find the best thing to do is book a cheap room in the Hilton Dublin Airport and leave the car there. Room costs about £50, parking £7 a day and free transport to and from airport. Less stressful at the start of a wee holiday too.
