DM Executive Line runs private chauffeur transfers between Dublin Airport and Old Head of Kinsale, covering both arrivals and departures. It’s a three-and-a-half-hour journey to the southwest, and your driver takes care of every part of it.
Your chauffeur meets you at the reception of your hotel, helps with luggage, and gets you on your way in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle. Airport transfers include 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time built in, so minor delays aren’t a problem. On board you’ll have WiFi, bottled water, and mobile device chargers for the road. All fees and taxes are included in the price, which is fixed from the moment you book.
Arriving at Kinsale at the end of a long journey is a good start to any trip - the town rewards you immediately if you know where to point yourself. The old town is small enough to walk end-to-end in fifteen minutes, so even a late arrival gives you time to get your bearings.
If you’re dropping in before heading out to the Old Head itself, note that the golf club has fenced off the lighthouse path since 1997. The public clifftop walk to the Lusitania memorial garden is the access you want - park near the signal tower and follow the signs. The signal tower is now a museum and the memorial garden tells the story of the 1,193 lost in 1915.
The parking situation in Kinsale is best handled early: use the long-stay car park at Pier Road and walk in rather than trying to squeeze into the old town streets. Your driver will know this, but if you’re collecting a hire car locally, it’s worth knowing in advance.
For a meal after arrival, the harbour-front spots with sandwich-boards outside tend to be the ones that need to advertise. Walk one street back, ask anyone in a Bulman fleece, and you’ll do better. The chowder in any pub on the harbour is genuinely good.
