    Anyone know what the daily rate is for the Long Term Car Park at Dublin Airport? The nearest I can find on the internet is €8.50 per day, but that was a press release from 2005.

    Park and fly from Bewley's Hotel at the airport for only €7.00 per day (see http://www.bewleyshotels.com/dublin_airport_hotel_park_and_fly.asp) or the Quickpark (see http://www.quickpark.ie) at €7.50 per day

    No need to go paying €9.50 a day when you don't have to.

    It's still €7.50 with QuickPark but it's often full.

    EDIT: Oops, didn't see it mentioned above! :o

    except bewleys hotel isn't at or even really near the airport, especially anywhere near rush hour.

    ....but they direct people there when the Red Long Term is full or nearly full!

    If you do not wish to go to the Blue/Green/Purple car park, there is a way to avoid it. :)

    At peak times the DAA will vet cars arriving at the Red LT, especially on a Friday and divert all those who intend returning on a Sunday or Monday over to the Green,Blue or Purple. If you don't wish to go to those car parks, just tell the lads at the gate that you've no idea when you are returning and they will have allow you into the Red as it's 24/7/364.

    ...But don't tell everyone! Shhuuuuuuuusssshhhh. ;)

    Thanks for all the replies. Are the LT car parks normally full? Heading to London tomorrow morning and was going to drive as I've no one to give me a lift.

    EDIT: Just checked Quickpark website and they have spaces. Cheap too. Does their shuttle bus run 24hrs? I'll be there at 6am.

    When Quickpark is full they simply stop incoming traffic.

    The DAA car parks also fill occasionally but they have many alternatives. They allow parking on the grass verges around the perimeter, they direct cars into the far end of the staff car park behind The Raddisson Hotel or the convert Block C of the Short Term into a Long Term.

    didn't know this, but have parked in the red at least 20 times in last 3 years, never had an issue with it being full?

    If you arrive after 10am on a Friday of a Bank Holiday weekend/school mid-term break, you will almost certainly be diverted to the Green.

    would normally avoid a trip away by air on those days so probably why I've always been alright!

    I wouldn't mind if they spent some of the money on board in the arrivals hall to say which flights the bags are coming out on.

    As sometimes when collecting people their battery is dead and you spend ages looking at people coming out trying to see them.

    Spot on Trampas. A simple bag symbol that would light up when the bags had reached the carousel would give people waiting some indication of when the people that are waiting for will emerge. Hardly rocket science.
