As am over 66, I could not find a way to book using my Public Services Card. I should be travelling free on the aircoach. So I cannot book in advance of my journey.

Aircoach accepts the free travel pass on all routes except Belfast. You can use the pass on the day to board free of charge and subject to availability. Alternatively, you may book online using the pass however there is a reservation fee from €2 per person one way depending on the route. When booking your space, from the select passenger tab you choose the free travel option and enter your pass number when prompted.   An online booking will always guarantee a seat on board.

i am truly amazed that Aircoach STILL have not figured out how to enable us to use bank cards from well known institutions. I am STILL unable to use my AIB cards (neither my debit nor my credit card will work). It will not accept my Wise card (similar to Revolut) either (which is Mastercard). That means that each time i travel with Aircoach (which is 2-4 times a month by the way, as i travel a lot) i have to use my UK cards. This incurs a fee and a poor exchange rate (as paying in GBP). i cannot understand how, in this day and age, Aircoach cannot figure out how to get a card reading machine that reads cards from well known organisations, such as AIB. I note that another user also highlighted this issue, but Aircoach's response was incredibly passive aggressive - i would not even categorise it as a response. I see that there are more and more bus routes operating from Dublin Airport, creating competition for Aircoach. While Aircoach is comfortable, there is a risk that you will lose business to your competitors if you don't sort something as simple as a card reading machine that actually recognises CARDS!!

Aircoach doesn't accept AIB Bank cards anymore. Your staff say its is the fault of AIB as they want a PIN entered but Aircoach don't have an option to enter a PIN. Also I have not encountered this issue with any other service in Ireland so I feel blaming it on AIB is pretty disingenuous. I used to use the service regularly but will not be doing so any longer and will be recommending to anyone I know not to either. Absolutely amazed that you don't accept cards from one of the largest Irish banks!

Lost property system is not acceptable for those who live in areas of Ireland that are not Dublin …. Very easy to give property to drivers under the proviso that they have no responsibility for the items… but flat refusal to do so, so to collect lost property you must travel to Dublin …. Unacceptable

At 4.50 on Wednesday afternoon we boarded the coach at Dublin airport to go to Belfast. The driver was reckless in both his overtaking manoeuvres and distance behind other vehicles. He has no idea on safe braking distances. I had the most frightening experience. On leaving the vehicle in Belfast I told him how dangerous I thought his driving was. I have a great many years driving experience and was police qualified.

Booked overnight bus 2 weeks in advance. Departure time changed 10 days prior to departure to accommodate a new stop. Ok no problem. Then receive an email cancelling the service altogether 5 days prior to departure leaving me having to book a very expensive hotel room at the airport. This was due to the "unforeseen circumstance" that is the clock change. Yes. The clock changing that happens every year and, according to their staff "causes scheduling issues every year". Well how about you don't making it bookable at all? Very poor customer service and I dare say this will be my last time travelling with this company.

We wanted to travel to Dublin Airport at 8.40. but as there was no bus at that time we booked 7.40. which gave us three hours at the airport instead of the planned two. Shortly after booking the timetable was changed to7.10. putting another half hour onto our time at the airport. Travelling with a child a very early start and no possibilty to cancel and look for better transport A very poor service and not one I`ll be recommending.

The bus was over 45 minutes late. The pick up location was changed and the bus driver wasn’t aware of it. The driver stopped off at the original location, sold tickets and when we flagged the bus down at the new pickup location he didn’t want to let people on because he stopped at the original location (where he shouldn’t of) and sold extra tickets.

I booked an Aircoach ticket for 07.56 departure from Donnybrook. The bus departed at 07.53 ie 3 mins. early - they said so themselves - so that I missed it. They then wouldn’t return my emails or calls. Very poor service & then very poor follow up customer service.
