    14e for a taxi. It's still cheaper than parking at the airport

    The hotel advises to call them when your plane lands

    Identical price quoted for July between Blue carpark and the "new" Quickpark. Not a chance this is going to create competition in the peak months with so much business available. I think we were being naive. They'll shadow each other at best during the summer and fall into a cosy arrangement. Off peak times of the year might have some competition with the excess capacity available

    I emailed them asking why the price on their faq was saying €11, but I was being charged €72 for 4.5 days. They eventually got back to me today to say my dates are available for €56 now, of course "welcome" doesn't work anymore.

    So pretty apoca of them to raise the price while offering a discount code, and then reducing it after the code expires.

    Cheers for this. €234 for 3 weeks in June. Unfortunately code not working but still, best DAA option coming in at €285. Any idea what the frequency of shuttle buses will be?

    Glad it's back even though the price is pretty much double what it used to be. For the people singing the praises of DAA blue, the surface is rocks, no marked spaces and no direction to areas where there are few spaces. That and the delay between buses, no thanks

    Its like Stena and Irish Ferries on Holyhead route — competition in name only. Parking at Dublin Airport is too expensive given the lack of a rail link from city and mainline rail. For many people, driving is the the only means to get there.

    Check the prices of parking at English airports which nearly have rail links - it is way more than Dublin. Short term 'kiss & go' in particular.

    No argument Quick Park coming back should have produced competition like the old days but, I guess the parking is so oversubscribed there is no need to offer better rates at the peak times - we may see better when it all settles down on the non-peak parking periods.

    I'm lucky to live just about close enough to the airport that I can take a taxi depending on the parking costs, rather than in summer than trying to find a space and then the messing with the transfer buses.

    When DAA introduced dynamic pricing for was only so they could charge more than the base price. Why should it cost more to park in one spot for 7 days than another right beside it for the same 7 days? Dynamic pricing facilitates profiteering.

    DAA wanted to buy QuickPark site so it would have less competition. The Competition Authority was right to block it. If DAA wants to make more parking available, why not build a second or third floor steel carpark on the massive carpark foot print it already has? They don't need more land to create more parking. Lots of airports have basic steel multi-storey carparks. They are quick to build.

    Anyone know how frequent the bus goes to / from the Quickpark? Back in the day its used to be every 10-15mins (from memory) - wonder is it the same now its back open?
    Ive booked the Clayton, but with the new code working, Quickpark is the same price so contemplating changing …

    I found this in the FAQs

    30 minutes is absolutely shocking, couldn't be bothered even if it is cheaper.

    I feel like 30 minutes is how long it would take a bus to do a round trip, so are they only running one bus!?

    Not the same as quick park unfortunately, double the price , no VIP service, bus every 30 minutes is crazy and finally it's run by APCOA so you might come back and find your car clamped if you have a flight delay!

    Fingal wouldn't give daa planning for more parking on-site, zero chance.

    I emailed to say was cancelling a booking due to 30 minutes bus times. That would drive me mad.

    Is that the staff car park?

    DAA don't have a good relationship with FCC.or indeed respect for the planning process. They applied for permission for a new flight path and implemented a completely different one.

    It appears to me the problem at Dublin Airport is not the site, it's the operator, DAA .

    The regulator changed the flight paths, the airport can't do anything about that.

    FCC have decided to take an adversarial approach to everything - at this stage the applying to FCC bit of the planning process exists just to get the rejection to go to ABP with. They would refuse any and every attempt to add more parking.

    I went for the drop and go parking for a 4 day trip later in the year. It was only €5 more expensive than the red car park. It sounds good and I won't be waiting around 30 mins for a bus!!

    People park outside the old Ulster Bank, and walk to the terminals.

    I saw this a lot during Covid.

    if they are going to go with that insanity, you would need to know, when the bus is leaving. Imagine missing one by a minute and waiting another 29 minutes. Its so irish… Its so incredibly scabby, they have 6,000 or more car parking spaces, say by E8 a day = E42,000 a day… and running one more bus and driver, for E350 a day etc is a problem? LOL! A shambles

    APCOA are German, they're the ones skimping money here, not anyone Irish.
