Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where I could securely park my motorhome, within a reasonable Taxi ride, to Dublin Airport, for a long day , from about 5 am to possibly 9 pm. I need to fly to the UK on a day visit, I would be very grateful for any information, .perhaps someone might have a driveway that I could rent for the day .
Many Thanks,
Regards Simon.

I've seen vans and motorhome there several times. And I've known people to park up for the night to do an early collection,
In the red express long-term carpark. €14.
Holiday Blue long-term €12.
I just done a sample booking using my van reg, went trough to the pay section, no problem,

Agree the long stay blue parallel with runway, for the sake of a few quid, and dropped at the terminal door

Thanks for the reply's Lads but does these places cater for more than your regular car space size , like an a class of about 7 meters long ?? If they do, then I'm sorted !!

I used the red yesterday, and had to park in the Z zone, there were cars parked nose to tail alone the access road and quite a few Vans around in other zones, but the blue might be better, because it's not as full this time of year.
There is no query about size when you make the booking and enter your reg, it shows up the vehicle without any comments. When I did the sample booking my van is A Class 6.99,
Liam @Flipperdipper may have be able to advise more.

Last year I had to meet an early morning, 6:45 AM, flight inbound from the U.S. so I booked into the red carpark from 6PM to 11AM the following day. Price was €14 but went up a lot if it was over 24 hours. When I arrived the guy at the barrier asked me to pull over to the side as he'd have to get someone up to show me where to park due to the length, 6.9M. After about 5 min a van pulled up and I followed him to a spot he indicated. I was hanging over the line and a bit outside the box but he said not to worry about it they were in charge and I parked under their instruction. Forgot to ask them if it was OK to sleep for the night so I made a cup of tea and hit the sack. :-)

There were a couple of motorhomes parked at the Clayton hotel where I parked yesterday. Reasonable price and shuttle bus, they have a lot of parking. I could only get short term at the airport as red was full and because it was only for a weekend blue and green were not offered

I have just gone trough the DAA carpark booking system for a week day and a Saturday for the blue carpark for a one day stay €12.
Give them a call if you're still concerned as to being able to park.
353 1 944 0440 or 353 1 944 4828.

The short terms seem to be the multistory buildings
