Cork is 259 kilometres from Dublin Airport, effectively all of it on the M7 and M8. Two hours fifty, door to door, with one comfortable stop if you want it.

The alternative is a domestic connection or the bus from the central terminal, and neither is much fun after a transatlantic sector. A private car goes when you land, not when the timetable says, and it takes you to your actual address rather than to Parnell Place with your luggage.

Business travel

Cork carries a lot of corporate traffic — pharma in Ringaskiddy, tech on the Model Farm Road, the university. We run a great deal of it. If you need an invoice with a purchase-order number, a receipt issued to a company address, or a standing arrangement for repeat visits, say so on the quote form and we will set it up properly rather than improvising.

Beyond the city

Cork is very often the first night of a longer trip. From the city it is thirty minutes to Kinsale, an hour and a half to Bantry, and about two hours to Killarney over the Cork–Kerry border. If your itinerary runs on beyond the city we can quote the onward legs at the same time, which is usually cheaper than booking them piecemeal.

What the fare covers

€570 for up to 3 passengers, €620 for up to 7 in the minivan. Tolls, airport parking, flight monitoring, meet-and-greet and up to an hour of free waiting are included. Card payment is accepted.
