The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Ireland are: BMW 3 series Cabriolet, Peugeot 206 Cabriolet, Renault Megane Cabriolet, Audi A3 Convertible, Audi A4 Convertible and BMW Z4 Roadster.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Cork require two credit cards to guarantee issuance of a cabrio or a roadster.
We recommend ordering additional no-excess insurance that covers your risk (franchise), since the franchise amount for cabriolets in Ireland is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Cork and compare it with the information indicated in your voucher. Sometimes, rental officers make 'unintentional' mistakes in rental invoices.
In parking garage, examine the vehicle for defects and scratches carefully. If you find any of them, check whether they have been specified in your rental document.
When parking a cabriolet in Cork, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

The quality of roads in major cities remains at a good level. Foreign motorists, who are used to driving on ideal roads, will complain on numerous patches. There are really many of them on roads of different level. Even in Dublin you will find it hard to see a road with no patches on it. It is also worth noting that repair works almost never stop on the roads of Ireland.
Even in large cities there are many narrow roads that have only one lane in each direction. Travellers, who hope to visit numerous cities during one ride in the country, should plan their route carefully as it is often simply impossible to drive fast on local roads.
On the road, you will find a huge amount of speed limiters. Even on the same road the maximum permitted speed can vary several times. Many speed limiters can be accompanied by rather cute recommendations. Do not be surprised if one of road signs has the inscription like "By speeding up, you run the risk of knocking a Leprechaun".
