Your chauffeur meets you at the reception of the Intercontinental Ballsbridge and drives you directly to Dublin Airport. No shared stops, no detours, no figuring out where to go. You check out of the hotel and walk to the car.
The vehicle is a Mercedes E220 Executive Class — air-conditioned, with WiFi on board and complimentary bottled water for the journey. It comfortably takes up to 3 passengers with luggage. Both the vehicle and chauffeur are fully licensed and insured in line with the Irish Government Transport Authority. All fees, taxes, and tolls are included in the price.
Ballsbridge is one of Dublin’s most pleasant departure points. The leafy embassy quarter, a short walk from the Aviva Stadium and the Grand Canal, is a calm place to be before a flight. Your chauffeur will handle the rest.
Meet your chauffeur at the hotel reception — not outside. The pickup point is the reception area of the Intercontinental Ballsbridge, so you don’t need to wait on the pavement or look for a car park. Just let the front desk know you’re waiting for a transfer if you arrive early.
The drive to the airport from Ballsbridge takes roughly 25 to 40 minutes. The route north through the city can be slow during morning rush hour. If your flight departs before 9am, build in a little extra time. Your chauffeur will know the best route on the day.
Luggage for three passengers is fine. The Mercedes E220 has ample boot space for a typical group travelling together. If you have oversized bags or sports equipment, it’s worth flagging this when you book so the operator can confirm the fit.
Ballsbridge itself is worth a last look before you leave. The neighbourhood has a quiet, residential feel that’s quite different from the city centre buzz. If you have time before pickup, the Grand Canal towpath nearby is a nice spot for a short walk.
