Car Park

Please see map below or click here to see what car parks The Airport Club membership plans have access to:

You do not need to pre-book the car park in advance. You just drive up to the barrier of your designated car park where your registration plate will be scanned, and if correct, the barrier will lift automatically on entry.

Should the barrier fail to lift, please scan your membership card to lift the barrier. If all of the above fails, please press the buzzer and speak to the car park controllers and provide details of your membership card.

In order to validate your parking privileges, the system will recognise the car with the license plate details provided when purchasing your membership.

If you attempt to enter a car park with a different car to that provided during the purchase process, the system will ask you to insert a credit or debit card or take a ticket. You should notify The Airport Club team by email if you intend to use a different car, a minimum of 3 days prior to travelling. Please contact The Airport Club team using the  contact form here.

At the car park entry:

If the barrier does not rise, you can scan your digital membership card in the Dublin Airport App at the car park barrier. Alternatively, you can press the call for help button.
