Dublin To Rosslare Private Car Transfer

About This Tour

When you walk through arrivals, your chauffeur is already there holding a name card for you. There’s no scrambling for a taxi or deciphering bus timetables after a long flight - the pickup is timed to your actual arrival because your flight is tracked electronically. You also get a full hour of complimentary waiting time, so a slow connection or a bit of a queue at baggage claim won’t cost you anything extra.

The transfer runs in a Mercedes Benz E220 Executive Class with room for up to 3 passengers and their luggage. It’s a quiet, comfortable car that makes the two-hour run south to Rosslare straightforward. Both the vehicle and your chauffeur are fully licensed and insured under the Irish Government Transport Authority.

Rosslare Harbour is Ireland’s second busiest ferry port, with crossings to Fishguard and Pembroke in Wales and to Cherbourg and Bilbao on the continent. If you’re catching an early sailing, the last thing you want is to be wrestling with public transport. This transfer gets you to the port with time to spare and your luggage intact.

Local Tips

Give yourself a buffer before your sailing. Rosslare Harbour can be busier than it looks on a map, particularly on summer weekends when Welsh crossings are popular. Irish Ferries and Stena Line both operate from the terminal, and check-in closes well before departure - an hour’s margin is comfortable, two hours is better if you’re carrying a lot of luggage or travelling with children.

The N11 and M11 corridor is reliable but watch for traffic leaving Dublin. Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings on the M50 are the pinch points. Your chauffeur knows the route well, but if you’re booking a late Friday pickup it’s worth mentioning the ferry time at checkout so the driver can factor in extra travel time from the start.

Rosslare village and the harbour are two different places. The ferry terminal is at Rosslare Europort, which is a few kilometres from Rosslare Strand. If you’re staying overnight before a morning crossing, most travellers use accommodation near the Europort - the Rosslare Strand area is quieter and more residential.

Pack your ferry ticket and passport somewhere easy to reach. Once you’re at the port, boarding moves quickly. Keeping your travel documents in a jacket pocket or a small bag you can access without digging through your main luggage saves time at the check-in desk.
