About Coach Hire in Tralee

Tralee is the county town of Kerry and the gateway to the magnificent Dingle Peninsula, best known worldwide for the Rose of Tralee festival each August. With Kerry Airport (KIR) just 17 km away, our Tralee coach hire covers fast airport transfers alongside the touring that makes north Kerry special, from the Dingle Peninsula and Slea Head Drive to the historic Blennerville windmill.

Kerry-based drivers know the main road out to Dingle, the narrow Slea Head loop past its beehive huts and cliff views, and the festival-week street closures in the town centre. From the crowded Rose of Tralee shuttles to full-day Dingle and Ring of Kerry excursions, we provide reliable coach hire with clear euro pricing and a warm Kerry welcome.

Frequently Asked Questions — Coach & Minibus Hire in Tralee

How much does coach hire cost in Tralee?

Tralee coach hire covers everything from a Kerry Airport transfer to a full-day 53-seater. A Dingle Peninsula and Slea Head day trip and a Killarney day are costed against the itinerary you send us. All EUR quotes include VAT and driver hours.

Do you cover Kerry Airport transfers?

Yes, Kerry Airport (KIR) at Farranfore is only 17 km southeast of Tralee, a 20-minute run. We provide flight tracking and meet-and-greet, ideal for the golf and touring groups flying into Kerry.

Do you run Dingle Peninsula and Slea Head tours?

Yes, the Dingle Peninsula is one of the finest drives in Ireland, reached from Tralee by the main road through Camp and Annascaul. Drivers are experienced on the narrow Slea Head loop, which is driven clockwise, over a full day.

Can a coach cross the Conor Pass?

No. Vehicles over 2 tonnes may not continue past the summit car park on the north-east side of the Conor Pass, which rules out coaches and group minibuses, so Dingle is reached by the main road through Camp and Annascaul. Ask whether your vehicle can reach the summit viewpoint from the Dingle side.

Can you handle Rose of Tralee Festival transport?

Yes, the Rose of Tralee each August is the town's biggest event, with parades and street closures. We run hotel-to-venue shuttles timed around the festivities and recommend booking months ahead for the busy week.

Are the Tralee drivers local?

Drivers on Tralee hires are Kerry-based and know the Dingle road and the Slea Head loop, the Blennerville windmill set-down, the festival-week street closures, and the quick runs to Killarney and Listowel.

Do you connect Tralee with Killarney and the Ring of Kerry?

Yes, Killarney is just 32 km southeast and the gateway to the Ring of Kerry. We combine Tralee with Killarney National Park and the Ring for full-day Kerry tours, depending on the itinerary.
