Airport parking

    Does anyone know of preferably free or cheap parking in or around the airport for an hour or two ?

    I've to meet some clients off a late flight for work there tomorrow night but looking up parking in the short term car parks it says €3 for the first hour and €4.50 thereafter which could end up being pretty expensive if their flight gets delayed or some other mishap occurs.


    I was thinking Alsaa but I'm not sure at the time will it be open

    Any suggestions ?

    I don't mind a bit of a walk (within reason) !

    You could drive someone near the airport (Swords or Drumcondra / Santry maybe depending on where you're coming from) and keep an eye on the flight, head off when you see the flight land and you'd be there, parked and in arrivals well before they disembark and get through passport security and baggage claim. It would only cost you €3 then if you're not having to hang around the airport with them for long. That's what I'd do anyway!

    Good idea but I inevitably will have to hang around as I've to organise them onto coaches, some into taxis and make sure everyone knows where they're going / no ones missing etc

    Why can't we have a bus service past 23:30 !!

    Just use one of the long term car parks which are 6-7E for the day and get the (free) shuttle bus to the airport. They usually come every 15 minutes so just arrive in good time, get the shuttle to the airport and sit down with a coffee while you wait for them.

    Do the shuttle buses operate late at night ?

    Was grand ! Managed to get parking in the Clarion instead as its free for the first two hours there (only noticed it driving by at the last minute) with a courtesy mini bus.

    Getting all the clients organized was a different matter altogether though :pac:
