From €250 per person
Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall with a name card, so there’s no hunting around after a long flight. The team monitors your flight electronically and times the pickup to match - and you get one full hour of complimentary waiting time at the airport, so a slow bag belt or a long immigration queue won’t cause any problems.
You travel to Arklow in a Mercedes E220 Executive Class, which comfortably fits up to 3 passengers with luggage. The vehicle and chauffeur are fully licensed and insured under Irish Government Transport Authority regulations, and all fees, taxes and tolls are covered in the price.
This is a private transfer. Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller. Suitable for all fitness levels.
The drive from Dublin Airport to Arklow takes around an hour. You head south through the city and pick up the N11 - the main coastal road through County Wicklow. You’ll pass through Bray and Wicklow town before reaching Arklow, and the last stretch runs close to the sea. On a clear day the Irish Sea is visible to your left and the Wicklow Mountains to your right - it’s a pleasant introduction to the county.
The car fits up to 3 passengers with 2 standard 20 kg suitcases plus 2 smaller cases. If your group is travelling with more luggage than that, let the operator know at the time of booking and they can arrange the right vehicle. It’s much easier to sort in advance than on the day.
Arklow is a working harbour town. It’s less visited than some of its Wicklow neighbours, which gives it an unhurried feel. The town sits at the mouth of the Avoca River, and the harbour area is worth a walk. There’s a good local market, some solid pubs, and the Vale of Avoca is only a short drive north if you want to explore the wooded river valley.
Traffic through south Dublin can slow you down. The N11 corridor through Stillorgan and Cabinteely is one of the busier stretches of road in Leinster. If you’re landing at Dublin Airport between 7am and 9am on a weekday, build in a little extra time. Afternoons and evenings are generally much more straightforward.
