Holiday Blue Long Term

€15 a day gets you Holiday Blue Long Term’s basic long-stay

Holiday Blue Long Term sits in the off-airport long-stay tier, charging about €15.00 per day and running its own shuttle to Dublin Airport. This is more park-and-ride than quick dash to security, so plan it for trips measured in days, not hours.

The shuttle runs every 15 minutes and takes around 15 minutes to reach both T1 and T2, so bank on roughly 30 minutes from locking your car to hitting a check-in desk. Shuttles serve both terminals on the same loop, so you don’t have to pick a T1- or T2-specific car park when you book.

This is a standard long-stay setup: you park your own car, keep your keys, and then walk to a marked shuttle stop to catch the bus. At roughly €15.00 per calendar day, it usually pencils out best for trips of three days or more compared with short-stay and on-airport options at DUB.

Because the transfer alone can eat 15–30 minutes each way, Holiday Blue Long Term suits outbound flights from both T1 and T2 where you’re happy to arrive at the airport 2–3 hours before departure. Add your usual airline buffer on top of the 15-minute shuttle and 15-minute headway so you’re not checking your watch on the bus.

Practical tip: aim to be at the car park at least 60–75 minutes before the check-in cutoff for T1 or T2, so even if you just miss a shuttle, the next 15-minute bus still keeps you on schedule.
