Fast & easy booking of a taxi from Dublin Airport
If you want to organize a taxi from Dublin Airport (DUB), the 25-minute trip costs €61. With Welcome Pickups, you pay a fixed price online, and your English-speaking driver meets you inside Terminal 1 or 2’s arrivals hall. The public transport system here isn’t as efficient as in other European cities, as there’s no metro or train, so it’s advised to pre-book your ride ahead of time.
Drivers operating at Dublin Airport use official taxi meters to calculate fares, with final rates determined by the distance traveled. Since Dublin is notorious for heavy traffic during rush hour (07:00–09:00 and 16:00–19:00), journey times can reach up to 40 minutes, which may significantly increase the cost. By pre-arranging your ride, the quoted fare is the price you pay, regardless of traffic conditions on the day.
