How do I get to and from DTS?
The CCD is readily accessible via the Port Tunnel from Dublin Airport. The Airlink airport shuttle bus stops directly outside the CCD. Taxi and car hire services are also available.
Is there parking at the CCD?
There is an underground car-park at the CCD managed by Euro Car Parks. We HIGHLY recommend you do not use the CCD carpark as there are only 2000 spaces available and it is likely to fill very early.
DTS can not validate parking as it is an external company to CCD. We recommend using public transportation or taxi to and from the CCD to avoid the parking fees. Parking rates are €3.50 per hour or €25 per day, with an evening rate of €10 from 6.00pm to midnight.
