  • Its almost impossible to get a taxi from about 130am over the wkd in Dublin CIty. Its all about being in the right place at the right time.

    You're best to start of walking towards your destination and just keep your hand held out to flag one down thats coming back into town after a drop off. They often turn their lights off at night so that way they can pick and choose who gets into their cab. Also they will normally pick up girls walking by themselves before picking up a group.

  • If you plan until staying out till the end of the night (2.30) you can avoid the taxi rank queues by asking your hotel or hostel or host to book a taxi in advance (even half and hour to an hour before you want to leave). There are several different cab companies - National Radio Cabs ( biggest and most reliable), Citi Cabs, Blue Cabs - etc. They charge a couple of euro extra but worth it if you dont fancy waiting an hour at the rank.

    There are also a number of hackney companies that only pick up on reservation (they dont have a taxi sign, rather a very small yellow plaque on the cars bumper).

  • If you're out late-night in Dublin, keep in mind the ONLY place you can get a taxi is down by Trinity UCD. This phenomenally ridiculous situation can mean an ungodly wait for a cab, which is not so pleasant when one had counted on being somewhere (like, say, a hotel or bed and breakfast) any time near the time you were ready to go home. I'm curious as to why this is. Nonetheless, plan on it taking forever to get home after bus service stops. On the positive side, it is an opportunity to interact with Dubliners who are in the same position of waiting.

    Taxi Service: Dalkey Taxi Service: Ridiculous

  • Getting a taxi in Dublin city centre is easy. However, if you plan a trip to the beautiful village Dalkey (just outside Dublin, home to the rich & famous), do not ever use Dalkey Taxi Service.
    Their staff that is not only rude, but also incapable of finding a street with more than 10 shops and 3 bus stops in the middle of Dun Laoghaire (between Dalkey and Dublin). I have never been treated in such an unprofessional manner. They kept telling me the street where I live did not exist. I recommend Dalkey Taxi Service hire friendlier staff that is capable of reading road maps or else they will be out of business soon enough. Very disappointing.
