    Hi all,

    Flying out the end of the month and wondering where is best to park the car, Quickpark or Red Car Park? Also which has the better shuttle frequency (Around 12pm)?

    Thanks!

    Red car park, good freq and closer, unless other one is way cheaper, go to red car park

    there really isn't much difference between the 2 time wise

    Quick park is maybe a couple of minutes further away

    I generally use Quickpark as I cna pay via my tolltag which I find handy

    I have also used the premium parking option a couple of times when flying very early - essentially you park immediately inside the car park and leave your key.

    'Best' as in price?

    You can check online without having to commit.

    12pm as in 12 noon or midnight?

    The DAA Red probably has a more reliable service at night but there isn't much difference overall. Between 4am and 12midnight there are six drivers operating out of the Red so it's reasonably frequent. It's down to 2 drivers between midnight and 4am.

    Have checked prices just want peoples opinions on which they preferred.

    12pm is noon, 12am is midnight. Thanks for the reply.

    ..12pm is noon, 12am is midnight....
    I know but you'd be amazed at the amount of people who think the opposite. I deal a lot with official statements and that mistake is often made - hence the reason I asked. ;)

    Haha oh I know, I've had my fair share of explaining it, anyhow thanks for the replies guys, booked into the red carpark.

    The car park is more expensive now with this VAT, before I didn't used to pay for Vat why they are charging it now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,186 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    EU ruling that state agencies had to charge VAT

    I was using quick park last Wednesday at 4am. Bus followed me down to where I was parking. That was handy. Bus left straight away after we got on

    Red is closest, quick park I find the bus more regular, but it only collects from terminal 1 on the way back. Blue is furthest away and generally the cheapest.

    I prefer quickpark busses every few minutes ( about 5) also once it gets into the car park it’s faster to your car
