A little about Dublin Airport
As the busiest airport in Ireland, followed only by Belfast International Airport, Dublin Airport welcomes over 19 million people each year.
It’s a modern and thriving airport with 2 main terminals, both of which house the car hire companies GoSee partners with. Throughout the airport terminal, you can enjoy fast and free WiFi, with hearty fare and plenty of bars on offer. You can also find a variety of retail outlets with everything from luxury fashion, to alcohol, jewelry, travel supplies, souvenirs, and much more.
Depending on where you land, the car rental desk of your chosen supplier may be in one of two places:
- Terminal 1 - Make your way to the arrivals hall.
- Terminal 2 - Make your way to the baggage claim area and then follow the signs leading you to the hire car facility. From there, you can now transact with your car rental company and collect your keys and proceed to the multi-storey car park.
Once you have your airport car hire, you can easily make your way to Dublin city centre. Simply take the M50 motorway until exit 7 to the N4, and follow the road east to the city centre. You should arrive in the CBD within 15 minutes.
