Transportation needed to airport from Stautons on the Green hotel

We have a 07:00 am flight out of Dublin on 22 April and need to be at the airport around 04:45- 05:00 am. My worry is getting a reliable taxi or private airport transfer pickup from our hotel at that early hour. Really don't want to use a bus or Airlink etc.
Any recommendations for reasonably priced - be on time to pick us up- taxi or service?
Thanks!

I'm thinking the bus may not yet be running. The good news is you will beat traffic.

Do you have uber? It's different in Ireland. Your uber app will call a taxi for you (instead of a private driver). I generally put a local SIM in my phone. I'm not sure if the app functions with just wifi or not?

I had similar flight time from Dublin and we stayed close to where you are staying, we were in the Temple Bar area. Our B&B contacted a taxi for us and it was a breeze. The guy was outside our door at 4:45 AM and it cost around $35 (that includes tip) for my wife and I. I cant tell you the name of the taxi service but my suggestion would be to contact Stauntons and see if they have a recommendation, most likely they will. Our taxi drive was around 30 minutes or so with light traffic and he dropped us right at the departure gate. My belief is you will have no trouble and the piece of mind is worth the extra you will pay for taxi over the bus. We did take the bus down to Temple Bar FYI, saved us 20-30 bucks, next time I will take a taxi both ways. Here is the email for the hotel we stayed in if you want to ask them which taxi service they recommend to customers. info@themerchanthouse.eu
