Getting between Kerry and Dublin by public transport involves trains, buses, and a fair amount of patience. A private car transfer removes all of that. Kerry Airport Transfers meets you in the arrivals hall, helps with your luggage, and gets you settled into a full-spec, spacious private car before you’ve had a chance to feel the usual airport stress.
The service connects Dublin, Cork, Kerry, and Shannon airports, and your driver handles everything so you can focus on the journey rather than the logistics. Return transfers are available too, which means the trip home is just as sorted as the trip in.
All fees and taxes are included in the price.
Kerry to Dublin is roughly 300 kilometres by road, and the journey can take anywhere from three to four hours depending on the route and traffic. The N21 and M7 are the main corridors between the two, and the road quality is good all the way. Your driver knows the route well, so you can sit back and let the landscape do the talking.
Kerry Airport itself is a small regional airport, which means arrivals is relaxed and you won’t spend long waiting for bags. That said, having your driver meet you in the hall rather than outside the building is a nice touch, especially if you’ve just landed after a longer journey.
If you’re flying into Dublin and heading straight to Kerry, a private transfer makes more sense than you might initially think. The cost is offset by the time and complexity it saves - there’s no direct train between Dublin and Kerry, and the bus connections through Limerick or Cork add hours to the journey. For a family or a group splitting the cost, a private car often works out comparably priced.
Return transfers are available, which is worth thinking about when you book your outbound trip. If you know your travel dates in advance, sorting both legs at once means one fewer thing to think about when you’re packing up at the end of a Kerry holiday.
The drive between Kerry and Dublin takes you through some genuinely good-looking countryside, particularly through Tipperary and the Golden Vale. It’s not a view you’d normally associate with a transfer, but it’s a pleasant way to ease between two parts of Ireland that feel quite different from each other.
