Parking The Convention Centre Dublin, Dublin

Parking at The Convention Centre Dublin is available in the venue’s underground car park, nearby public car parks and paid streets. Mobypark also lets drivers compare and pre-book an available private parking space for The CCD, including hotel parking, office-building spaces, private driveways and unused garages made available by owners who do not actively use them.

Bookable parking near The Convention Centre Dublin

Pre-booking can be useful on conference and event days, when nearby facilities may fill before the event starts. Mobypark provides bookable private spaces outside the immediate venue footprint, so check the exact address, arrival window and route to The CCD before confirming. Comparing a reserved space in advance can reduce the time spent searching for a place to park.

The Convention Centre Dublin underground car park

The public underground car park at the rear of The CCD is the most direct driving option. It is open from 7.00am to midnight, seven days a week, with a height limit of 2.1 metres, disabled spaces and electric vehicle charging points.

Cash and card payments are accepted, and a 10% service fee applies to each transaction. The car park does not provide alerts when it is full, so compare a pre-booked Mobypark space if you want an alternative to relying on capacity at the venue.

Nearby public car parks around The Convention Centre Dublin

Further paid parking is available around Lower Mayor Street, Sheriff Street, Grand Canal Square and Connolly Station. Published examples range from €3 per hour and €10 per day at one nearby facility to €7.20 per hour at another, while opening hours vary from 7.00am–midnight to 24 hours.

For a full conference day, compare the daily total rather than multiplying an hourly tariff. Mobypark is another option to check when pre-booking a private space is more useful than arriving without a confirmed place.

Street parking near The Convention Centre Dublin

Pay-and-display spaces are available across the Samuel Beckett Bridge on Stoney Road, Forbes Street and Hibernian Road. These spaces operate from 7.00am to 7.00pm Monday to Saturday, with tariffs of approximately €3–€3.50 per hour depending on the zone. Always follow the signs on the individual road, as restrictions and zone rates can differ.

Street spaces can be difficult to secure around busy conferences and are subject to a limited charging window. For a time-sensitive visit, compare Mobypark with street parking before travelling and choose a booked space that matches your arrival and departure times.

Evening and overnight parking at The CCD

The venue car park has an €18 evening tariff for entry after 6.00pm and exit by midnight, plus a €22 overnight tariff for entry after 6.00pm and exit by 9.00am. These periods suit evening events and early departures, but check that your planned exit fits the relevant tariff.

If you need to leave later or stay overnight, compare the booking period for an available Mobypark space before setting off so you are not relying on a car park’s closing time or an evening rate that does not cover your full stay.

Driving directions and access for The Convention Centre Dublin

Drivers approaching from the city centre can use Mayor Street Upper or North Wall Quay. From North Wall Quay, turn towards Park Lane, take the first left and follow the ramp into the underground car park. Allow extra time to find the entrance during an event changeover.

After parking, use the designated lift to ground level and leave through the east side of The CCD. The car park does not provide direct access into the venue foyer, so walk around to the main entrance after exiting.

Parking rules and penalties in Dublin City Centre

On council-controlled streets, parking without payment or overstaying a paid period can result in an €80 fixed-charge notice. The charge rises to €120 if it is paid between 28 and 56 days after issue. A clamped vehicle has a €125 release fee, while a vehicle removed to the city pound can also incur a €250 removal fee and €35 storage for each day held.

These council penalties do not replace the terms of the private underground car park. Read the signs at the entrance and pay for the correct period, particularly when using a disabled space, loading area or restricted road.
