Dublin Parking at the Clayton Hotel
Dublin Parking at the Clayton Hotel is a self-park, keep-your-keys option around 10 minutes from Terminals 1 and 2 by complimentary shuttle. Drive to the Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport on Stockhole Lane, park your own car and keep your keys while you travel. The hotel’s 24-hour shuttle currently runs every 20–25 minutes to and from Zone 16 at Dublin Airport.
You do not need to stay at the hotel to use this parking product. The Clayton has around 1,500 secure parking spaces, making it a useful alternative to a dedicated Park & Ride site if you want to park yourself and retain your keys.
Why choose Dublin Parking at the Clayton Hotel?
Keep your keys: choose your own space and leave the car where you parked it.
24-hour shuttle: transfers operate throughout the day and night.
Serves both terminals: the Zone 16 shuttle point is within walking distance of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
Complimentary transfers: the airport shuttle is included with the parking.
Large secure car park: Clayton currently advertises around 1,500 parking spaces at the hotel.
Accessible parking: designated disabled spaces are available, and the current APS product information states that the hotel shuttle is wheelchair accessible.
Hotel facilities: you can wait inside the hotel for the shuttle rather than standing outside at the car park.
How does Clayton Hotel parking compare with Park2Travel?
Park2Travel Park and Ride is a dedicated airport parking site rather than a hotel car park. Both are self-park products where you keep your keys and both provide a complimentary 24-hour shuttle to Terminals 1 and 2.
Park2Travel currently quotes a faster transfer of around six minutes with buses every 12 minutes, compared with around 10 minutes and every 20–25 minutes at Clayton. Choose Park2Travel when transfer speed and frequency matter more; choose Clayton when its live price or hotel-based facilities suit you better.
How does Clayton Hotel parking compare with Park and Fly?
Dublin Airport Park and Fly is another 24-hour, keep-your-keys option. Park and Fly currently quotes a transfer of around 10–15 minutes every 15–20 minutes, while Clayton quotes around 10 minutes every 20–25 minutes.
The parking process is similar, so compare the live price, shuttle frequency and location for your dates rather than assuming one will always be cheaper.
How does Clayton Hotel parking compare with Metro Hotel parking?
Dublin Metro Hotel parking is another hotel-based option where you keep your keys. Metro offers underground parking and a transfer of around seven minutes, but its shuttle operates to a more restricted timetable and a transfer charge currently applies.
Clayton is the stronger option for very early or late flights because its complimentary shuttle operates 24 hours a day. Metro may suit you better if underground parking is more important.
Important things to know
On arrival, follow the instructions on your booking confirmation, park your vehicle and keep the ticket issued at the barrier. The Clayton shuttle departs from outside the hotel and currently runs every 20–25 minutes, 24 hours a day, with a typical airport journey of around 10 minutes. On return, use the hotel shuttle from Zone 16 at Dublin Airport, then take your parking ticket and booking confirmation to reception so your exit can be validated. Clayton currently states that a pre-booking can be recognised from two hours before the booked arrival time until 12 hours after it. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before arrival on bookings made directly with the hotel; bookings made through an agent are subject to the terms shown on that booking. Motorhomes and trailers are not accepted.

Checking in went fine- I was handed a card and found a parking space easily.
On our return there was no clear direction to
A 10 where we parked and we went to the wrong floor first. Finding the car then was easy.
However when I tried to exit, and scanned the card, I was told on screen to pay €90! My wife went with the card we were given to Reception and was given a new card. On scanning this, the on-screen notice said to pay €90! My wife went back to Reception and they lifted the barrier.
This experience puts me off using this again. In the end everything worked out, but if it was a wet day and I was travelling alone, it would have been much worse.
