What is the approximate taxi fare from Dublin airport to Dublin city centre?

Answer 1

That will depend on factors like the amount of people travelling, baggage and where you are going. It could be anything from €15 to €25. There are cheaper alternatives. There is no rail line from the airport to the city, but a number of buses run regularly between the city and the airport and to other places. Dublin Airport is on the north of the city, and some buses go through the city into the southern suburbs. Buses also run from the airport to other parts of Ireland. You should first know where you are actually going to and then look up the best option for you. There are plenty of good map sites on the internet such as Google Maps and Live Maps, which will show you where you are staying in relation to the airport.

Check the sites below for the two main bus services into the city. On the Dublin Bus site, check for routes 746, 747 and 748 in particular as these go direct to the city. There are other routes, such as the 16A, which also go, but take a longer route although they are slightly cheaper because they are not specifically Airport buses. The 746, 747 and 748 are specifically for the airport and take a direct route into the city. They are more expensive than the other buses, currently €6 one way and €10 return, but still much cheaper than the taxis, so well worth taking.

The other option is the Aircoach, which is €7 one way and €12 return. Unlike the Dublin Bus routes, the Aircoach runs throughout the night, so if you are arriving late, it is the best option.
