Dublin airport parking alternatives

    Hello everybody. Just looking for some advice.

    I'm scheduled to fly from Dublin airport at 7am on Monday 16th May. It looks like my only option at that time is to drive from Co. Cork, where I live, and into the airport.

    Since I'm not 100% sure of my return date (although it'll likely be around 10 days later) I wanted to ask ye if there's any alternatives to leave the car at the terminal parking. I think for that time it'll cost me more than the actual flight.

    What I was looking for would be:
    1. Any alternative parking option at a lesser rate?
    2. Anyone who could 'babysit' the car for me at some place not too far the airport (you don't have to be awake, I can just walk or take a taxi from there)

    Thanks a lot. Biggles.

    Try Bewley's Hotel. They have parking and a courtesy bus and are 10 minutes from the airport so it's dead handy.

    Bewleys, The Carlton, Crowne Plaza all offer good priced parking and a shuttle bus. There is also quickpark. Btw if you book in advance on the DAA website, sometimes you can get a good deal.

    Edit: They also can have good stay and park rates, might be a better alternative to driving up from cork for 7am

    I use these guys, you can prepay and they will text you a pin number for entry to the park. Thier shuttle bus will take you over to the airport then.

    If ur flight isn't too early... I'll babysit ur car n bring u to the airport, I live in swords.. I'll bring u in my own car... n u can call me when u are coming back and I will pick you up, (maybe this is a business venture I never thought of! lolo) out of work at the mo.. so not up to much!
