Dublin Airport has taxi ranks at both terminals. The Terminal 1 taxi rank is located directly outside the Arrivals Hall — follow the 'TAXI' signs after exiting. The Terminal 2 taxi rank is also outside the Arrivals area. All taxis are licensed and metered with regulated fares.

A taxi from Dublin Airport to the city centre typically costs between €25 and €35 during the day, and €32 to €45 at night. All fares follow regulated national tariffs. Use the CaminoCabs taxi fare calculator for an accurate estimate for your specific journey.

Some taxi ranks in Dublin operate 24/7, including O'Connell Street and Dublin Airport. Others are designated evening and night-time ranks that only operate from 8pm to 6am, such as Dame Street and certain ranks around Temple Bar. The CaminoCabs app shows which ranks are active and have taxis available at any given time.

The main night-time taxi ranks in Dublin city centre operate from 8pm to 6am and are located on Dame Street (outside the Olympia Theatre), around Temple Bar, and on South William Street, Camden Street and George's Street. O'Connell Street and College Green also run 24/7. See the table above for postcodes and hours.

The closest reliable ranks to Dublin Zoo are outside Heuston Station (a 5-minute drive) and in the city centre around O'Connell Street. Phoenix Park itself has no taxi rank inside the park gates, so the easiest option is to book a taxi in advance with CaminoCabs for a guaranteed pickup at the Zoo exit.

They're the same thing. "Taxi rank" is the common term in Ireland, while "taxi stand" is more common in American English — both mean a designated street location where licensed taxis queue for passengers. In Dublin, ranks are signposted with the word "TAXI" and regulated by the National Transport Authority.

Yes. When you walk to a taxi rank, you pay only the metered fare with no booking fee or service charge. Booking through an app typically adds a €3 booking fee. However, app booking gives you guaranteed pickup, fare estimates, and the ability to pre-book — which can be worth the convenience.
