How the Dublin Airport to Galway transfer works

Your chauffeur monitors the inbound flight and is waiting in arrivals with a name board when you clear baggage. From there it is a single, direct journey west on the M6 — roughly two and a half hours door to door, depending on traffic around Dublin and the final address in Galway.

Because the vehicle is yours for the journey, there is no waiting for a scheduled departure, no changing terminals, and no lugging cases between platforms. Families, golf groups, and business travellers arrive together and on schedule.

Where we collect and drop off

Pick-up is from Dublin Airport Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 arrivals — tell us the flight number and the terminal is handled for you. Drop-off is at any address you name: a hotel on Eyre Square, university accommodation, a house in Salthill or Barna, a wedding venue in Oranmore, or a hotel further west in Connemara.

Late-night and early-morning arrivals are covered, and the return leg from Galway back to Dublin Airport can be booked at the same time at the same fixed fare. See the full route list on the airport transfers hub.

Luggage, groups, and child seats

The executive Volkswagen Transporter carries up to 8 passengers with room for full-size suitcases, golf bags, and travel cots. If your group is larger, tell us in advance and a second vehicle is arranged to travel in convoy.

Child and booster seats are available on request at €5 per seat. All children count as passengers regardless of age, so include them in the passenger number when requesting a quote.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a taxi from Dublin Airport to Galway?

A metered taxi for this distance is typically well over €400 and the final amount is not known until you arrive. Our private transfer is a fixed fare from €350 for one or two passengers, agreed in writing before you travel, with tolls and parking already included.

How long does the transfer take?

Around two and a half hours for the 210 km route on the M6, allowing for Dublin traffic. We build realistic timing into every booking rather than quoting a best-case figure.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Your chauffeur tracks the flight and adjusts the pick-up time automatically — there is no charge for a delayed arrival. Sixty minutes of waiting time after landing is included as standard.

Can you collect us late at night?

Yes. Transfers operate 24 hours a day, including night landings and very early departures. Late arrivals are one of the strongest reasons to pre-book a private transfer on this route.

Do you also cover Galway to Dublin Airport?

Yes, at the same fixed fare in reverse. For departures we recommend leaving Galway at least four hours before a short-haul flight and five before long-haul.
