buycycle is Europe's leading marketplace for pre-owned bikes, and our shipping service was built to support the cycling community. Thousands of bikes are bought, sold, and shipped across the continent every month through our platform. Whether your shipment is related to a buycycle transaction, a race, a relocation, or a holiday, our logistics network is open to everyone.
This route is priced from EUR 100 per shipment (commercial, ex-VAT). We offer a fixed price with no distance surcharges or hidden fees. Every shipment includes full coverage against damage and loss.
Flying with a bike box means airline surcharges, size restrictions, and the risk of damage in cargo holds. General couriers are not equipped for oversized sporting goods. Our dedicated service solves both problems: purpose-built packaging, careful handling, and door-to-door convenience at a predictable price.

About this route
Hungary and Ireland sit at the crossroads of continental and Atlantic Europe, each offering a unique cycling character. Budapest's urban cycling network has expanded rapidly, with dedicated lanes now connecting the historic Buda Hills to the Danube embankment. Ireland's Ring of Kerry winds 179 km through Kerry's mountains and coastal villages, passing through some of the most unspoiled landscapes in western Europe.
Hungary's Great Plains, known as the puszta, offer endless flat horizons where cyclists can ride for hours alongside traditional horse farms and mirage-like shimmering heat. Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, stretching over 2,500 km along the western seaboard, provides a cycling adventure of an entirely different scale, with ever-changing weather that can deliver four seasons in a single ride. Both countries have strong traditions of hospitality, whether it is a Hungarian wine cellar stop in Villany or a warm pub welcome in a Connemara village.
Bike shipping between Hungary and Ireland typically routes through western Europe, with transit times of six to eight business days. Both countries are EU members, ensuring no customs duties or complex import paperwork for used bicycle shipments. Every bike is professionally packed with protective materials for the frame, wheels, and drivetrain, and full tracking is provided from pickup to doorstep delivery.
