Making a car park booking:
How far ahead can I book?
You can book parking up to 12 months ahead of your travel date – and if you do, you’ll be protected from any price changes. And if your travel plans change, you can cancel the booking for free – as long as you do so more than 24 hours before you’re due to arrive at the car park.
Can I make a booking now to park at the Dublin Off Airport car park today?
The Dublin Off Airport car park doesn’t open until 10th March 2025, but you can prebook parking for after that date from 18th December 2024 onwards. Once the car park is open, you will be able to make a booking up to an hour before arrival time.
Do your car parks have minimum stay periods?
YES – our car parks have a minimum stay of at least 24 hours, giving you the flexibility to secure parking even at short notice.
How do I book disabled parking?
When you arrive on site, please park in the Arrival Check-in Bay and you will be assisted by one of our agents.
How are parking charges calculated?
Car park products are priced per 24-hour period or part thereof. The number of 'days' (24-hour periods) charged is calculated based on the times you select when making your booking. However, if your actual entry and exit time changes, and as a result your actual time in the car park runs into another ‘day’, you will be liable for an additional day's charge at the drive-up tariff. All prices shown are in Euros and include VAT at the prevailing rate.
How often do car parking prices change?
Our car parking prices are constantly monitored to make sure we offer the best price possible. This means our prices do change, so quotes are only valid at the time of booking, which is one of the major benefits of prebooking online.
What payment methods are accepted?
You can pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, MasterCard, Visa Debit, Maestro and Visa Electron cards – but we do not accept cheques.
Is a booking fee applied to my order?
We do not charge booking or Debit card fees but there is a small admin fee if you wish to pay by Credit card.
How do I know my payment details are secure?
This site uses industry standard SSL encryption software which encrypts all your personal information, including name, address and credit or debit card number. A padlock symbol appears in your browser frame when you are in a secure area of the website. Similarly, you’ll also be warned when you’re about to leave the secure area. For more information, see our Privacy policy and Accessibility and Online Security policy that can be found on the Home page.
Why can't I get a quote for the car park I’m looking for?
If you don’t get a quote for a specific car park, it’s either because;
• There aren’t any pre-booked spaces available in that car park for the period you are looking to book.
• Or your entry and exit times and therefore the period you are looking to book doesn’t meet the car park minimum length of stay
Are there any height restrictions in your car parks?
YES – Our height restriction in the car park is 4.5 metres.
How important is my car registration number when making a booking?
Having your correct number in your booking helps us to assist you quickly when you arrive at the car park.

What happens if my return flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed and you go over your car park exit time, you will be charged for an additional day at the drive-up/roll up rate. If you do not believe you should be charged an extra fee, please discuss this with a PARK2TRAVEL staff member. If you can ring or email us to notify us in advance it will certainly help.

It depends on the specific circumstances, but you should email us at enquiries@park2travel.ie and we will make a decision based on your case.
What happens if I forget to bring my booking details with me?
We can certainly help you find your booking if you have the vehicle registration number of the vehicle you booked, the email address used to book and/or the mobile number or Eircode used to make the booking.
