Ashford Castle deserves an arrival to match it. Your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals terminal holding a name card, and the team tracks your flight in real time so the timing fits your actual landing rather than a guessed schedule. Whether you’re coming from Dublin Airport or from the city, you’ll cover the journey to Cong in a Mercedes Benz E220 Executive Class with WiFi, bottled water, and air conditioning running throughout. A full hour of complimentary waiting time is built into airport pickups, so there’s no pressure if you’re delayed at baggage claim.
The transfer is entirely private. Up to 3 passengers can travel with luggage, with capacity for 2 standard 20 kg suitcases and 2 small cases. Every fee, tax, and toll along the route is covered in the price - nothing to sort out on arrival. The vehicle and chauffeur are fully licensed and insured under Irish Government Transport Authority requirements.
This is a private transfer - your group only. Luggage capacity is 2 standard 20 kg suitcases plus 2 small cases. Infants can ride in a pram or stroller. Suitable for all fitness levels.
Book the transfer before you book anything else. Cong is about three hours from Dublin, and the road out west gets genuinely scenic once you clear the motorway and drop into County Mayo. It’s a journey worth arriving rested for rather than stressed from car rental queues.
The flight tracking means you don’t need to rush. If you land ahead of schedule or your bags take a while, your driver already knows. You have a full hour of free waiting time at the airport, so take your time through customs without worrying about keeping someone waiting on the other side.
Luggage limits matter on this route. You’re going somewhere with serious grounds and a long stay in mind, most likely. The transfer takes 2 standard 20 kg cases plus 2 small suitcases per booking. If you’re travelling with golf bags or oversized luggage, get in touch when booking to confirm it’ll fit.
Cong itself is worth a bit of time before you check in. The village is tiny but it has the ruined abbey and some lovely walks along the canal connecting Lough Mask and Lough Corrib. If you’re arriving with daylight to spare, a short wander before check-in is well worth it.
