Belfast → Derry: key facts

Private transfer, Belfast Airport (BFS) to Derry: the car (1–3 passengers) is €180 and the van (4–8) is €220, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 96 km on the road via A6; about 1h 20min off-peak, 1h 20min – 1h 40min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the passenger terminal, after baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Derry~Londonderry, Northern Ireland's second city, lies on the River Foyle about 96 km north-west of the airport. The road leaves the airport for Randalstown and follows the A6 west past Castledawson and Dungiven, crossing the Sperrin Mountains at the Glenshane Pass before descending to the Foyle valley and entering the city on the Waterside. The Glenshane Pass is exposed and can be affected by snow and ice in winter; there are no tolls on the route.

The historic centre sits inside the 17th-century city walls, which form a complete walking circuit of about 1.5 km with gates, bastions and cannon. The Guildhall and the Tower Museum are just outside the walls near the river, and the Peace Bridge, a curved footbridge, links the west bank to Ebrington Square on the Waterside, where the railway station is located. Streets inside the walls are narrow and partly restricted to traffic, so drop-offs are made at the nearest gate or square; hotels along the quay and on the Waterside are reachable directly.

Public transport instead: Translink (Ulsterbus) bus 109A (airLink) from Belfast International Airport to Antrim bus and rail station. Translink (NI Railways) train Belfast - Derry~Londonderry line from Antrim to Derry~Londonderry station (Waterside), 1 change. Translink (Goldline) coach 212 Belfast - Derry~Londonderry from Belfast city centre (after Airport Express 300) to Derry~Londonderry, 1 change. No direct public transport from the airport to Derry~Londonderry: take bus 109A to Antrim and the train north (the airLink add-on ticket covers the airport bus for rail passengers to Derry~Londonderry), or Airport Express 300 into Belfast and the Goldline 212 coach.
