Straight through, no change in Dublin
Most public transport options between Dublin Airport and Cork involve getting into the city first and then boarding a coach or train from there. A private transfer removes that step: your chauffeur meets you in arrivals and the next stop is Cork.
The route runs round the M50 and then south on the M7 and M8 motorways, a steady and largely motorway journey of roughly two and three-quarter hours depending on Dublin traffic.
Where in Cork we take you
Drop-off can be a hotel in the city centre, a house in the suburbs, a venue in Kinsale or Cobh, or a stay near Blarney. Because the vehicle is private, a detour to a second address on the way in is straightforward and discussed when you book.
Guests continuing to Kerry or the south-west coast can also be dropped at a hub on the Cork side. See the Cork Airport to Killarney transfer for the onward leg.
Making the first day count
A long transfer does not have to be dead time. Many arriving guests ask for the afternoon to be used for the Cork city and Blarney Castle private tour once they have dropped their bags, which turns an arrival day into a full day of sightseeing.
If your trip runs in the other direction, the same fixed fare applies for the journey back to Dublin Airport the morning you fly.
