Ryder Cup 2027 at Adare Manor: Getting There from Dublin Airport by Chauffeur

by Ciara Brennan | Oct 2, 2026

The 2027 Ryder Cup takes place at Adare Manor, Co. Limerick, from 13 to 19 September 2027. There is no spectator parking at the venue, so the smartest way to plan your week is a private chauffeur: Dublin Airport to your hotel, drop offs at your park and ride or rail connection each morning, and golf and sightseeing days either side of the tournament.

How do I get from Dublin Airport to Adare Manor?

Adare is in Co. Limerick, in the south west of Ireland. The drive from Dublin Airport takes around two and a half to three hours by motorway, depending on traffic and stops. A chauffeur meets you in arrivals, handles your luggage and golf clubs, and takes you straight to your hotel, so you can rest after an overnight flight instead of driving on the left for the first time.

Can you drive to the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor?

Not to the gates. The organisers have confirmed there is no parking on site and recommend spectators use the official Park and Ride or Train and Ride services, which need to be booked in advance. See the official Ryder Cup transport page for the latest details.

A chauffeur makes those connections simple. We drop you at your booked park and ride site or at Limerick for the shuttle, and collect you again in the evening, so nobody in your group has to drive or find parking.

Planning your Ryder Cup week by chauffeur

• Arrival: collection at Dublin Airport, with your flight monitored, and transfer to your hotel.
• Tournament days: daily transfers between your hotel and your park and ride or rail connection.
• Before and after: rounds at other famous Irish courses, the Cliffs of Moher, Killarney, or a day in Dublin.
• Departure: transfer back to Dublin Airport or Shannon, timed around your flight.

Our 7 seater MPVs suit groups of friends travelling with golf bags, and luxury sedans suit couples and executives.

Why book early?

The Ryder Cup brings tens of thousands of visitors to Ireland in one week, and hotels, cars and drivers in the south west will be booked well in advance. Securing your chauffeur early means your whole week is planned before you fly.

Newgrange and the Boyne Valley: A Day Trip from Dublin by Chauffeur

by Ciara Brennan | Oct 2, 2026

A private chauffeur is the easiest way to see Newgrange and the Boyne Valley from Dublin. Your chauffeur collects you from your hotel or Dublin Airport, drives you the short journey north into Co. Meath, waits while you visit, and plans the day around your tour times, with no coach timetable and no parking to worry about.

Why visit Newgrange and the Boyne Valley?

Newgrange is a passage tomb built over 5,000 years ago, older than Stonehenge and the pyramids of Giza. With Knowth and Dowth it forms Brú na Bóinne, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The valley around it holds some of the most important places in Irish history, from the seat of the High Kings at Tara to the site of the Battle of the Boyne.

A suggested day trip from Dublin by chauffeur

• Morning: collection from your Dublin hotel, then north to the Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre for the guided tour of Newgrange (tour tickets booked separately).
• Midday: lunch in Slane, then the Hill of Slane, where Saint Patrick is said to have lit the Paschal fire.
• Afternoon: the Hill of Tara, ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland, or Trim Castle, the largest Anglo Norman castle in Ireland.
• Evening: return to Dublin, or onward to your next hotel.

Every tour is private, so we can change the order, add the Battle of the Boyne site or stop wherever you like.

Why a private chauffeur rather than a coach tour?

A coach tour runs to a fixed timetable for a full bus. With a chauffeur, the day is yours: you leave when you are ready, spend longer where you want, and travel in a quiet, comfortable car. Our 7 seater MPVs suit families and small groups travelling together.
