The Dundrum Dublin Airport bus is a public transport option between Dublin Airport and Dundrum, which are about 16 km apart in a straight line; the road distance is longer.
Ways to get from Dublin Airport to Dundrum
Private transfer booked ahead: A pre-arranged car takes you directly to your accommodation and suits families, groups, late arrivals or travellers with heavy luggage. It is also useful if you prefer to have the pickup arranged before you fly.
Taxi from the rank: Taxis are available at the airport rank and offer a direct journey without advance booking. This can suit flexible travellers, although you should allow for traffic and confirm the destination address with the driver.
Public transport: Airport bus services and onward connections can be a practical choice for light packers and visitors who are comfortable checking routes and making a connection. Check the airport or transport provider for current services, stops and changes before travelling.
Hire car: A rental car gives you flexibility beyond Dundrum, particularly if you plan to visit places outside Dublin. Consider city traffic, parking at your accommodation and the arrangements for returning the car.
Booking a private transfer
After booking, keep the confirmation and meeting instructions accessible on your phone. Your driver will normally meet you in the arrivals area, so check the agreed name or sign, contact method and pickup location before leaving the baggage area.
Have your flight details, accommodation address and mobile number ready. Provide accurate luggage information, and request a suitable child seat when booking if required. If your flight is delayed, follow the booking provider’s instructions and contact them if needed. Check the policy for flight monitoring, waiting arrangements, extra luggage and changes before you travel.
