Express Red Long Term

€19.50 a day gets you five‑minute shuttle access

Express Red Long Term sits in the official Dublin Airport long-stay zone, priced at about €19.50 per day and aimed at trips longer than a quick overnight. It’s on-airport, so you’re not dealing with third-party minibus runs from an industrial estate 15–20 minutes away.

The shuttle to T1 and T2 runs roughly every 15 minutes and takes around five minutes once you’re moving. Factor in a full loop plus loading time and you should budget 25–30 minutes from locking the car to standing in either terminal. First departures typically sync with early morning flights, but build in extra time for 06:00–07:00 departures.

This is an open-air long-stay car park, not covered, so your car sits outside for the full duration of your trip, whether that’s three days at €58.50 or a longer two-week holiday at just under €273. The trade-off is cost versus the closer short-term options beside T1 and T2 that can double that price over a week.

Payment usually ties to your booking reference and number plate at the entry and exit barriers, so most people skip the pay stations and drive straight out. If your plans change and a three-day booking turns into four, expect the extra day to be charged at the standard €19.50 rate on exit.

Tip: Aim to park near a shuttle stop sign rather than an empty-looking row; at busy times that can save a five-minute walk with luggage before your five-minute ride to T1 or T2.
