The rail journey takes approximately 2.5 hours, with fares generally ranging from €18–€35 one-way when booked in advance. Note: If you are heading straight to Galway from the Dublin Airport, Coach is easier as it does not require a transfer into the city. The train is a wonderful option for anyone planning to spend time in Dublin before heading to Galway or who simply prefers rail travel.

Rental Car

Hertz / Enterprise / Avis

Rental cars are highly recommended if you plan to explore Ireland before or after the wedding. Please keep in mind that in Ireland, traffic flows on the left-hand side of the road. Most cars are manual transmission by default, guests who prefer automatic should book early as availability is more limited.
