You will probably have to get a bus into town and then out to the burlington. What time of day will it be? I think 25 euro is VERY expensive so I need to know the exact location. You can look up bus routes at www.dublinbus.ie.

a taxi from SCR to the Burlington should cost no more than €10. There's no point in pre-booking if it's going to cost that much. What time of day is it? Chances are you'll just be able to hail one on the street - it'd be easier than the bus option because you'd have to go into the city and then change and then get another bus out.

I am not sure if you can change your rental car company but Europcar tends to have better prices and they have a location in Ballsbridge that will allow you to walk to the Burlington from.

That would bve a doable 15 or so minute walk to the hotel. I always get that one confused with Hertz.
