Getting from Dublin Airport to the west Clare coast takes around 3 hours 10 minutes, and this private chauffeur transfer from DM Executive Line makes that drive the easiest part of your trip. Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name board, loads the bags, and gets you on the road in a Mercedes-Benz with WiFi, water, and the air-con set right.
The reservations team and your chauffeur both monitor your flight, so if you land early or late, the pickup adjusts without any calls required from your side. You get 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time built in, giving you space to clear customs and collect luggage without feeling rushed. Pricing is fixed from the moment you book - nothing extra lands on you at the end.
What’s covered in the service:
Doonbeg is proper west Clare - and it’s worth slowing down for. The drive in from the N85 gives you a long, low view across the Atlantic before you even reach the resort. If you’re arriving in daylight and your schedule allows, ask your driver to take the scenic coastal stretch - it adds almost nothing to the journey time but the view over Spanish Point is worth it.
The village of Doonbeg itself is tiny but friendly. There’s a decent local pub, Hughes Bar, a short walk from the resort where you’ll get a pint and a bowl of chowder among people who actually live there, rather than fellow guests. It’s a nice way to get your bearings on the first evening.
If golf is on the agenda, the links at Trump International plays along the Atlantic shore and is exposed to real west-coast wind. Pack a wind layer regardless of the forecast - the weather can shift fast out here. Caddies are available and worth taking if you haven’t played links golf before.
County Clare is one of Ireland’s most underrated counties. The Cliffs of Moher and the Burren limestone landscape are both within a 40-minute drive of Doonbeg, and neither gets as crowded in the morning as they do mid-afternoon. If you’re staying a few nights, those are the two day trips that repay an early start.
