Connolly Station Taxi Rank
The main taxi rank for Dublin's busiest railway terminal, serving trains to Belfast, Sligo, Rosslare, and the entire DART coastal line.

Where to Find This Rank
The taxi rank is located directly outside the main entrance of Connolly Station on Amiens Street, next to the Luas Red Line stop and within a short walk of Busáras (the central bus station) and the IFSC financial district.
Rank Details
Dublin's Busiest
Railway Terminal
Connolly handles more than 25 million passengers a year, making it Ireland's busiest station. The taxi rank is built around this constant flow of travellers from Belfast, the DART coastal line, and Luas Red Line users.
Morning to Early Evening (7am–8pm)
This is the easiest window to find a taxi at Connolly. Trains and DART services run frequently, and drivers rotate quickly through the rank between arrivals. Whether you've just come in from Howth, Malahide, or Belfast, a taxi is usually waiting or arrives within a few minutes.
Connections Across Dublin
Connolly is perfectly placed for onward travel to the city centre, O'Connell Street, Temple Bar, or Heuston Station if you need to transfer to a southbound or westbound train. The Dublin Airport run is slightly shorter from Connolly than from Heuston — typically €22–€30 during the day, the cheapest station-to-airport taxi route in Dublin.
Evenings & Late Night
From around 8pm onwards, train frequency drops and so does taxi rotation at the rank. You may still find cars waiting, but waiting times can increase. If you're arriving on a late train from Belfast or a long-distance service, pre-booking through CaminoCabs takes away the uncertainty.
Luas & Bus Connections
The rank is steps away from the Connolly Luas Red Line stop (which connects directly to Heuston Station and Tallaght) and just a 3-minute walk from Busáras, the central bus station serving intercity coach routes. A taxi is often faster than the Luas when you have luggage or multiple passengers.
