What to Expect on the Journey

The drive of about 3 h 5 min heads west across the midlands on the M4 and N4, continues on the N5 into County Mayo, and finishes on the N59 into Westport. Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall with a name sign and monitors your flight, so the pick-up follows your real landing time. The price is fixed and confirmed before you travel, charged per vehicle rather than per person, and the vehicle is never shared. Bottled water and Wi-Fi are on board, child seats are available on request (just tell us the ages), and a 20-minute comfort pause can be arranged if you would like one.

Combine Westport with Connemara and Kylemore

Westport makes a good base for the wider west of Ireland. If you are planning more time in the region, our guides to the Dublin to Connemara transfer and the Kylemore Abbey day trip show how the area fits together, and you can compare the Dublin Airport to Galway route if you plan to continue south afterwards.

Who This Transfer Suits

The Business Class Mercedes E-Class and First Class S-Class each carry up to 3 passengers, while the Viano takes up to 7 with luggage, which suits couples, golfers, families and small groups arriving after a long flight. Pick-ups can also be arranged door-to-door from a Dublin hotel or address rather than the airport.
