Forget the taxi queue and the crowded airport bus. With Elite Motion Chauffeurs, you step off the plane and straight into a comfortable, well-appointed vehicle - your driver is already there, name sign in hand, and your journey to Ashford Castle begins from that moment.
The team runs a fleet of luxury sedans, SUVs, and minibuses, so whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with a full party and a lot of luggage, they’ll have the right vehicle ready. Your driver monitors your flight, so if you’re running late there’s no panic on your end - they already know. All taxes, fees, and handling charges are included in the price.
Available in English, Italian, and Polish.
Ashford Castle is on the southern shore of Lough Corrib in County Mayo, about a 3-hour drive from Dublin under normal conditions. The approach to the castle along the R345 through Cong village is one of those arrival moments that stays with you - the estate comes into view gradually and it’s genuinely impressive even if you’ve seen photos in advance.
Your driver monitors your flight in real time, which matters more than it might sound. If you’re connecting through Dublin from a long-haul flight and there’s a delay, your chauffeur adjusts without you having to call or explain anything. It’s one of those small things that removes a lot of stress from the start of a trip.
Cong village is worth a walk if you arrive with a bit of daylight left and energy to spare. It’s a short drive or walk from the castle gates and it’s where John Ford filmed The Quiet Man in 1951 - there’s a small museum in the village dedicated to the film and several of the original locations are still recognisable.
If you have bulky items like golf clubs or fishing gear, contact the operator before you book to confirm the vehicle can accommodate them. Ashford Castle is a natural draw for golfers - the estate has its own course - and the transfer team is used to these requests, but it’s better to flag it early than to show up with equipment they weren’t expecting.
The return transfer works the same way, with hotel pickup and drop-off and the same standard of vehicle. Book both legs at the same time if you know your dates - it’s one less thing to organise during what is, ideally, a very relaxed stay.
