Traveling to Ireland with Kids? Why a Private Transfer is a Lifesaver for Families

The Reality of Arriving with Children

Touching down at Dublin or Shannon Airport after a long flight is exhausting. Now imagine doing it with a toddler, a baby, two large suitcases, and a stroller.

For families, the "last mile" – getting from the airport to your final destination in Galway, Mayo, or Athlone – is often the most stressful part of the journey. You have three options:

1. The Bus: Dragging luggage and kids into the rain to wait for a coach, then hoping for seats together.
2. Car Rental: Navigating unfamiliar roads on the "wrong" side while jet-lagged, trying to install your own car seats into a strange vehicle.
3. Private Transfer: Walking out of arrivals to a smiling driver who handles everything.

Safety First: We Provide Child Seats

This is the number one question we get from parents: "Do you have car seats?"

Unlike standard taxis found at the rank, which often don't carry child restraints, Airports Direct prioritizes safety.

• We can provide baby seats, toddler seats, and booster cushions upon request.
• Simply let us know the ages of your children when booking, and the seats will be installed and ready before you land.
• No need to lug your bulky car seats through the airport!

Space for "Everything but the Kitchen Sink"

Families come with gear. Strollers (prams), travel cots, golf clubs for dad, and endless bags.

Our Mercedes V-Class vans are designed for this exact scenario.

• Capacity: Comfortably fits up to 7 passengers.
• Luggage: Huge trunk space that swallows suitcases and non-collapsible strollers easily.
• Comfort: Leather seats, climate control, and plenty of room for kids to stretch out or sleep safely.

A Helping Hand

Our drivers aren't just drivers; they are helpful professionals. We meet you inside the terminal (Meet & Greet), help load your luggage, and ensure the family is settled before moving an inch. We understand that with kids, you might need an emergency bathroom stop or a quick pause for food on the way to Galway. Just ask – we are at your service.

Relocating to Ireland?

If you are moving to Ireland for good, you likely have more luggage than a tourist. We specialize in relocation transfers, taking you and your life's belongings directly from the airport to your new front door.

Don't start your Irish adventure with stress. Book a safe, spacious ride for your whole family.
