Terminal 2 Short Term

€45 a day keeps your car in Terminal 2 Short Term

Two-minute covered walk into T2, about five minutes to T1. Terminal 2 Short Term is the closest car park to the T2 check-in desks, so it suits early morning Aer Lingus departures and tight arrivals when you just want to get on the road. It’s a classic short-stay setup next to the terminal, not a long-stay shuttle lot out by the perimeter.

Daily maximum is €45.00, which makes sense for 1–3 day trips, quick work runs, or airport pick-ups that might stretch longer than planned. Anything beyond three days and the math swings hard toward the long-term parks. This car park prices on a short-stay model, so don’t treat it like weekly parking unless you have to.

Walking time is around 2 minutes to Terminal 2 departures, with pedestrian routes signed from each level, lifts in the core, and trolley bays near the exits. If you’re heading to T1, budget roughly 5 minutes curb to curb following the covered walkway and overhead signs. Bags-on-wheels and kids in tow still make it easily inside ten minutes.

Access is direct from the main Dublin Airport approach road into the T2 zone, then into the short-term structure. Look for “Terminal 2 Short Term” on the overhead signs, not the multi-storey for T1 or the long-term surface parks. Pay stations sit near the pedestrian exits, and barrier payment is by card at the gate if you don’t prebook.

Tip: If you’re dropping someone for T2 and expect to be inside longer than the basic set-down, park here, watch the clock, and keep the stay under a full 24 hours to cap the hit at that €45 daily max.
