Your chauffeur meets you at the reception of The Shelbourne Hotel and takes you directly to Dublin Airport in a Mercedes E220 Executive Class. It’s a private transfer — just your group, no shared rides — and the whole thing is door to door.
The car fits up to 3 passengers with luggage: 2 standard 20kg cases plus 2 smaller bags. WiFi and bottled water are on board throughout the journey, and all fees, taxes, and tolls are wrapped into the price. The vehicle and chauffeur are fully licensed and insured under the Irish Government Transport Authority.
The transfer suits up to 3 passengers with 2 standard 20kg cases and 2 small bags. Prams and strollers are welcome. This is a private transfer — your group only. Suitable for all fitness levels.
The Shelbourne is on St Stephen’s Green, right in the centre. The route to the airport typically runs north through the city and out via the M50 or the airport road — your chauffeur will know the best option depending on traffic. Journey time is usually 25 to 40 minutes outside of rush hour.
Rush hour matters here. The city-centre location means that morning traffic (7:30 to 9:30am) can add meaningful time to the journey. If you have an early morning flight, confirm the pickup time with the operator — they’ll factor in realistic traffic conditions.
The E220 is a proper executive car, not a people carrier. It’s ideal for 1 to 3 passengers travelling comfortably with standard luggage. If your group has oversized bags, ski equipment, or more than 2 large cases, flag this when you book.
Gratuities aren’t included in the price. There’s no pressure, but if the service is solid, a cash tip is always welcome. It’s not expected, but it’s appreciated.
Confirm your pickup time the evening before. Most operators will send a reminder or contact you the day before departure. If you haven’t heard anything by the evening, drop them a quick message — it’s worth the peace of mind.
