Customer Reviews — Limerick Coach Hire
Mairead K. — ★★★★★ — Shannon Airport Transfer (2025-06-05)
Shannon Airport to Limerick city for a golf group of 24. The transfer was barely twenty minutes and the driver stopped at Adare on the way for photos. Great start to the trip and a lovely clean coach.
Tomas Ryan — ★★★★★ — Bunratty Banquet Coach (2025-04-22)
We hired a 49-seater for a medieval banquet at Bunratty from our hotel in Limerick. The driver had us there in good time and waited the full evening to bring us back. Everyone raved about the night.
Orla Hayes — ★★★★★ — Wedding at Adare Manor (2025-03-14)
Coach shuttles for guests between Limerick and a wedding at Adare Manor. Punctual all day and evening, and the driver knew exactly where to pull in at the manor gates. Could not fault it.
