    I always use this lot.

    Never a problem and much cheaper than DAA car parks.

    Not necessarily. Shop around, DAA often have special offers. For my next trip in March/April DAA Red is cheaper than Quickpark, as is Bewley's.

    Anyone know what's the cheapest one for parking these days? Seems to be lots of different options in recent times with parking available at hotels etc. nowadays.

    Bewleys hotel on n32 is cheapest. Free bus every 20 minutes 24 hours a day to and from hotel. I've done park stay and fly and park and fly never any problems

    Expresspark are about €3 per day & use the same bus as the Premier Inn.

    Haven't used them myself.

    OP, I don't think there's any overall 'cheapest' operator, you'd need to say what you're looking for in terms of duration and then people might be able to recommend one of the operators.

    Bewley's is an underground car park on two levels so the car will be in an enclosed environment and if you're not travelling too early, they are handy for breakfast and then you can catch the bus to the coach car park from where you can walk to T1 or T2.

    not all of bewleys is underground parking. When its not busy you usually get a spot underground but in peak summer months you often have to park on the surface car park. The surface car park tends to leave your car full of dust and badly in need of a wash! Not a huge deal but it might put some people off.

    If you book with Ryanair you ususally get the parking at 2.99 a day for the red car park which i think is great. Be careful of other car parks i found they might look cheap but they charge for the shuttles to the airport so ends up costing you more.

    Quickpark is good too

    DAA Express Red and Holiday Blue are both cheaper than Quickpark if you pre-book online. They also have number plate recognition so the barriers open automatically both in and out.

    Premier inn charges for the shuttle , Carlton and Hilton also charge for the bus transfer

    well i used this crowd a few weeks ago and when i was going a few weeks ago and they were cheapest by about a fiver for the weekend

    As does Travelodge and the Airside airport parking (the one under the wright venue) and the one on the main road beside the yoga place (can't remember the name). The same bus serves the Premier Inn and these ones. AFAIK it is €2 each way per person.

    To date, I have found that the DAA carpark has actually been the most competative in recent times and with the convenience and the fact there is almost always a bus waiting (meaning you can at least sit in the warmth whilst waiting for it to depart) I choose it over the others whenever possible. Unless there is a significant saving with one of the others I would opt for DAA.

    Remember too to play around with dates. Last Oct we were going for 10 days, but DAA had an offer of 2 weeks for the price of 1, so by booking for 14 days it was cheaper than booking for 10. Sometimes a week is cheaper than a long weekend if they have an offer, so as I say, play around with dates to see if there are any special offers. Also most of the time you get a 10% (I think, might be 20%, not sure) discount voucher for the loop too, which always comes in handy as I can't resist a spot of pre-flight shopping!

    I did look at that site a few times but the same rates are available from the companies who own the car parks themselves. Does look like a very professional site to be honest but could be just someone trying to earn commission of the parking.

    That's a great deal to get DAA Red cheaper than Quickpark. We are looking for 22 days. Called Quickpark there and they happily matched DAA Blue (the normally cheaper DAA further away one). Instead of booking on-line they gave the on-line rate of €50 for 2 weeks, plus €35 for 8 days. This can't be booked on-line for a continuous stay at that price, so they have recorded it in their office book, with name and dates. And provided the agent's name. Pay at office on exit after stay. (Note: didn't call DAA Red to match Quickpark as always happy with the latter).
