Arrive, Park, Go
Arriving without a booking? Our drive-up parking rates make it easy to park on the day and walk straight to Departures in minutes. All car parks are on-site and clearly signposted as you enter Ireland West Airport. Whether you’re dropping in for a short business trip or heading off on a more extended break from the West of Ireland, drive-up parking is the simple, stress-free choice that offers excellent value and flexibility.
Drive Up Parking Rates
Drive-up rates will be calculated automatically from the time you take a ticket on entry until the moment you exit. Parking prices are displayed at our car park entrances and pay stations, so you always know what you’ll pay before you park. Hourly charges are available for short stays, with a capped daily rate for longer trips, and competitive multi-day pricing for weekend and holiday travel.
There’s no booking fee and no need to pre-arrange anything – arrive, park and go. Even though drive-up parking rates tend to be competitive, planning ahead can often lead to savings by booking online. When you return, pay at the terminal pay stations or at the exit barrier, then continue your journey without delay.
If you prefer to plan, you can often save by pre-booking online, but for last-minute flights and flexible plans, our on-the-day drive-up option offers excellent value and maximum convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does drive up parking work?
On arrival at Ireland West Airport, follow the parking signs and take a ticket at the barrier. Park in any available space, keep your ticket with you, and head to the terminal. When you return, use a pay station to settle the fee and insert your validated ticket at the exit barrier to leave. This process ensures we can continue to offer straightforward, efficient drive-up parking rates.
Do I need to pre-book?
No, drive-up parking is specifically designed for customers who prefer to arrive on the day without a reservation. If your plans are fixed and you want the best available price, consider pre-booking online; otherwise, drive-up is fast and flexible.
Where are the car parks in relation to the terminal?
All car parks at Ireland West Airport are on-site and within a short walk of the terminal entrance, making it easy to manage with our drive-up parking rates.
Are there accessible spaces for Blue Badge holders?
Yes, designated accessible bays are located close to the terminal to minimise walking distances. Standard drive-up rates apply, and our team is available to assist if you need extra support.
Is there electric vehicle charging points?
There are no EV charging points at the airport. Passengers can find EV charging units at nearby Charlestown Plaza.
What happens if my return flight is delayed?
Your parking fee is based on the actual time you exit. If your plans change or your flight is delayed, you can be assured of consistent drive-up parking rates when you pay the balance upon your return and proceed to the exit as usual.
