About this service

Luxora drives Dublin to Shannon Airport for early-morning transatlantic departures, and collects late-evening arrivals in the west. Your car picks you up from any Dublin address (hotel, home, office, or Dublin Airport off a connecting flight) and drops you at the Shannon terminal in roughly 3 hours on the M7. Wi-Fi, charging and bottled water are on board.

The route is the M7 (Dublin → Naas → Portlaoise → Limerick → Shannon), with a comfort stop at Junction 14 Mayfield or Birdhill Plaza on request. Shannon and Dublin are the only two airports in Europe with US pre-clearance. We time the transfer to the airline's check-in window, plus 30 minutes for pre-clearance. We track every outbound flight in real time and adjust the departure time if conditions change overnight.

Business travellers and families book it for Aer Lingus flights to Boston, New York or Chicago. We also drive golfers going straight on to the Wild Atlantic Way courses, and visitors who landed in Dublin and need to get to Limerick, Ennis, the Burren or the Cliffs of Moher.

One way costs €490 in either direction: from Dublin to Shannon Airport, or from Shannon arrivals to any Dublin address. Return-leg bookings within 14 days get a 15% discount.

We time pickups to get through Limerick ahead of the rush hour. For a long-haul departure, allow three hours from pickup to check-in; your chauffeur adds a buffer for motorway delays. Some clients add a Cliffs of Moher detour on the same day, or a County Clare tour earlier in the trip. Send your flight times with the enquiry and we will quote it as one itinerary rather than two separate jobs.
