Shuttle buses are designed for spectators, not for a four-ball with staff bags and cabin cases. Black Car Dublin’s Business Van keeps the group in one vehicle from airport or hotel to the Adare Manor access point.
Travel with Black Car Chauffeur Service Dublin — premium transport across Ireland and Northern Ireland — from airport transfers and business travel to private tours, weddings, and events.
One to three passengers with carry-ons: a Business or First Class sedan is enough. Four to seven people, two or more golf bags, mixed luggage — book the van and stop hoping a saloon will grow a trailer overnight.
Who should book a van (and who should not)
Friends who refuse to split across two taxis. Societies with a captain who wants one departure time. Families who will not put a child on a second shuttle. If you are a couple with a carry-on each, you are paying for empty seats — take First Class instead. We would rather downsell you than stuff clubs into a footwell.
Week pattern that works
| Day | Van job |
|---|---|
| Arrival | Airport to hotel with bags and clubs |
| Cup days | Hotel to venue; clubs often stay at the hotel |
| Play days | Hotel to Lahinch / Ballybunion / Adare round |
| Departure | Hotel to airport |
What to tell us so the van actually fits
Exact headcount, number of staff bags, hard cases, whether anyone sits in a third row, and whether a wheelchair or oversized camera case is coming. “We’ll squeeze” is how clubs get left in a Shannon lobby. If counts are honest, most groups fit without a trailer. Ask at quote stage if you think you need one.
Per-person maths versus two cars
We quote the vehicle, not an airline-style seat. For five to seven people the van is often cheaper than two sedans and always simpler at the venue gate. Two cars only help when you have two clocks (hospitality versus players) or two hotels on opposite sides of Limerick.
Clubs on spectator days
Leave them at the hotel unless you have a dawn tee time nearby. Dragging staff bags through spectator infrastructure is how you spend the Cup looking after luggage. The van is still the right airport tool even if midweek runs are light.
Multi-day golf + Cup
If the van stays with you as a tour vehicle, use the golf tour brief as well. Hours and overtime need to be in writing so nobody argues at 21:00 in Listowel.
Loading the van so the week stays civil
Hard cases on the bottom, staff bags where the driver shows you, coats last. A four-ball that “has a system” still needs two extra minutes. Budget them. We will not throw clubs.
Midweek, if clubs stay at the hotel, the van still helps because people multiply: extra jackets, retailer bags, a cousin who “might come”. Tell us the maximum occupancy, not the optimistic one.
Two hotels on opposite sides of Limerick means a painful loop or two vans. Draw it on a map before you fall in love with a group rate.
If someone in the group has reduced mobility, say so. A van with a higher step is not automatically kinder. We can plan time and doors. We cannot invent a lift at a temporary event gate.
