They run 24 hours, 7 days a week 364 days per year (closed Christmas Day). There is a reduced service between 12 midnight and 4 am (2 buses only) but from 4am to midnight there should be 4 buses running. Between 12 and 4 am the frequency of the buses is reduced as one bus does not leave the carpark until the other has returned from the terminal (up to 20 minutes). After 4am it should be no longer than 10 minutes. The attendant on the barrier will inform you which zone to use. If there is noone at the barrier, follow the signs.

Availibility should be OK this time of year. The online booking has been suspended. One week should cost you €42. It is staffed 24 hours ard regular security patrols are carried out.

At that time you should be okay but I arrived there at 6am last week and was turned away.
Drove down to the Long Term Blue cark park (left and right, a good drive away) and got parking no problems (8.50 Euro for 24 hours).
Buses every 15 mins.

I had to be at the airport for 5:15 last Friday and got a space in Quickpark at 5am, a bus was waiting and left at about 5:10. Was in the airport on time!

If it's full, it can still be worthwhile to wait for a spot. The bus rarely, if ever, comes back from the airport empty, so there's always someone leaving in a car!

It's very unlikely to come back with passengers at that time as no flights will have landed. The first passenger flight to land is usually the New York one at about 6am. The buses returning in the late afternoon/evening/night are much more likely to have returning passengers.

The DAA Red car park (car park 3) is always open. The Green (5) and Blue (6) are usually seasonal.

Thanks for all your help guys.I'll try to get to the carpark about 4.45-5.00 and I should be ok.
