Taxi cost from DUB to city centre??

Does anyone know how much it will cost to take a taxi from Dublin airport to the city centre (or around there)

Estimate cost is fine... I just want to know if I have to stop at the ATM beforehand (I have some euros from prior trip)

And, how long is the ride from the airport to the city centre?

Hi Michelle,
There's a bus service from Dublin airport to O'Connell St in the city centre and it runs quite frequently (up to every 10 minutes)24 hours a day.
I found it on the Ryanair website. They fly into Dublin airport, you can find it under the 'Airport Transfer' link.

They (Ryanair)don't give the price of bus tickets (but they do give the name of the bus company so I expect you can find it). They also say a taxi is about 15 euros.

There are often a lot of traffic jams around Dublin and the airport, so have more Euros handy than you may think you need in case your taxi bill turns out to be higher because of traffic.

Air Coach is a bus service that can get you to the city for about 7 Euro flat. They do not drop you off at your hotel, so if you have a lot of luggage or a heavy bag that you can't carry a few blocks, then take the taxi.

If you travel fairly light, the absolute cheapest way to get to/from the airport is the No. 16A city bus. But it does take much longer because you are making lots of stops along the way.

Thanks!!

I am traveling light, so that wouldn't be a problem.
I am not too fond of sitting in a bus, after traveling 10 hours on the airplane. I may splurge and taxi it to the hotel and I do have 50 euros on me already.

Thank you, Rick-niks!!

The Airlink bus either #747 or 748 costs 6 Euro and will get you into Dublin as fast as a taxi as it goes directly into the city with no stops along the way.
