Is there dedicated parking for passengers with reduced mobility or Blue Badge holders?
Ireland West Airport want to make travel through the airport as easy as possible for passengers with reduced mobility. To this end, we have dedicated reduced mobility parking spaces available next to the Terminal building. All drivers parking in PRM/Blue Badge Parking spaces must ensure their vehicles display the appropriate sticker/badge on the windscreen to identify them as drivers with reduced mobility. If, for any reason, a driver needs to bring this sticker/badge on their journey, please go to the security office in the main terminal to obtain a copy to display in the car while parked. Standard parking rates / online rates apply to PRM / Blue Badge Parking.
Is there a discount for blue badge holders?

We accept cash and all major credit cards at our pay stations inside the main terminal. Card payments are also accepted at our gate on exit.

Customers need to go to the security office located in the main terminal if they lose their parking ticket. Lost tickets will incur a €50 Fee; however, if you can provide evidence of your stay, standard car parking rates will apply.
Are electric vehicle (EV) charging points available in the car parks?
