A taxi is the most cost efficient and also the quickest method to travel from Dublin Airport to your accommodation. A public taxi stand is located directly outside the arrivals hall at Dublin Airport (Terminal 1 & 2) , operating 24 hours per day. The average cost per journey to a host family is €35.00. To City Center (approx. €40). You should always request a receipt from the driver, as proof of the cost of your journey.

It is also possible to book an Airport Pick-Up Service through the Horner School. If you book this service, you will be met by our school driver and transferred by car to your host family or other accommodation. Your driver will carry a sign with your name clearly indicated. The driver will wait in the main public arrival hall, as you exit the Luggage Hall / Customs Area.  Drivers wear face masks for the duration of the journey from Dublin Airport to the accommodation. Please contact us by email if you wish to arrange this service on arrival.
