About this service

A Dublin to Galway transfer with Luxora takes you from the Irish Sea to the Atlantic in one car. Your car collects you from any Dublin address and drops you anywhere in Galway city, Connemara or the Cliffs of Moher coast in roughly 2h30 on the M6. Wi-Fi, charging and bottled water are on board for the 210 km.

The route runs Dublin → M50 → M4 → M6 → Galway. You can stop at Athlone (the geographic centre of Ireland) or the monastic site at Clonmacnoise. The drive is mostly motorway with no congestion outside Dublin and Galway peak hours, and your chauffeur times the departure to avoid the M50 bottleneck around the Red Cow and Newlands Cross interchanges.

Business travellers take it to meetings at the University of Galway, Boston Scientific or Medtronic in Galway's medtech corridor. We also drive wedding guests to Ashford Castle, Glenlo Abbey and Renvyle House, golfers to Galway Bay and Ballyconneely, and walkers heading into Connemara who would rather not drive a rental car on the narrow western roads.

A standard one-way Dublin city to Galway city transfer is €440, up to €480 for outer pickup or drop-off addresses (Dublin Airport, Wicklow, Clifden, Roundstone, Renvyle, Cliffs of Moher coast). Same-day return-leg bookings within 12 hours get a 15% discount.
