Your private chauffeur picks you up wherever you’re staying and drives you to Kildare Village in a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes Benz E220 - fully licensed and insured by the Irish Government Transport Authority. You get a full day at the village to shop at your own pace, and your driver brings you back to Dublin when you’re done.
Your chauffeur knows the area and is happy to help along the way. The drive from Dublin to Kildare takes around an hour, and WiFi is on board for the journey in both directions. Sit back, relax, and leave the logistics to someone else.
Kildare Village is an open-air outlet shopping destination with over 100 boutiques. It’s a good 45-minute to an hour’s drive southwest of Dublin city centre depending on traffic, which is exactly the kind of journey that feels a lot more pleasant in a private Mercedes than on a coach. Having a driver who can collect you from the front entrance when you’re done is a genuine convenience when you’ve got bags to manage.
Give yourself the full day rather than trying to rush it. The village has a relaxed pace and there are cafes and restaurants on site where you can stop for lunch. Arriving mid-morning and leaving late afternoon gives you plenty of time to work through the boutiques without feeling pressured.
If you’re planning a particularly large shop, let your chauffeur know in advance. The E220 has a decent boot, but it’s a saloon rather than an estate or an SUV. For most day trips the boot space is fine, but it’s worth flagging if you’re planning a serious haul.
The drive through County Kildare is genuinely lovely. Rolling countryside, the occasional stud farm, and if you’re lucky the horses out in the paddocks. Your chauffeur is a local and will often point out things of interest along the way - don’t feel like you have to stare at your phone the whole journey.
Tipping isn’t mandatory in Ireland, but it’s appreciated for good service. Gratuities aren’t included in the price, and if your chauffeur has been particularly helpful - carrying bags, waiting patiently, or pointing you towards a good lunch spot - a small tip is a kind way to acknowledge it.
