If you’re heading straight from Dublin Airport to Ennis, this private chauffeur service takes care of everything door to door. You’ll travel in a Mercedes-Benz with a certified professional driver - no shared shuttles, no waiting around for other passengers.
The driver will meet you at arrivals and allow 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time for airport pickups (15 minutes for hotel collections), so a delayed flight isn’t something to stress about. The journey to Ennis takes around 2 hours 30 minutes through some good countryside.
Ennis is County Clare’s working county town - the medieval street layout means parking is on the edges, not in the centre. If your driver is dropping you at a town-centre address, the narrow lanes around O’Connell Street and Abbey Street are tight. Let them know your exact accommodation address before you set off so they can plan the drop.
If you’re arriving on a Friday, you’re landing on the best night of the week. The trad sessions in Ennis are genuinely strong - Cruises pub has a session from around 9pm, and Preachers Corner runs music in multiple rooms from 9:30pm. Walk down to Preachers Corner first to see what’s on, then follow your ears from there.
Ennis Friary is right in the town centre and worth ten minutes on your first morning - Franciscan ruins from the 1240s with 15th-century carved stonework still standing. It’s roofless, so pick a dry morning rather than a wet one.
Shannon Airport is only 35 minutes from Ennis if you’re planning onward travel or a later flight home. That’s worth knowing for your return trip.
