What most people said
- Most say take a taxi from the rank outside Dublin Airport (around €35–40 to the city centre) rather than pre-booking an Uber.
- Aircoach and Dublin Express coaches leave from outside the terminals and are cheaper; public buses are cheapest but awkward with luggage.
- Many recommend the Tap a Taxi app; several say taxis don't have to provide child seats, so book a transfer with boosters if you need one.
- For onward travel, Citylink runs direct from Dublin Airport to Galway; at Belfast, the airport bus is cheap and taxis pricey.
