The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Cork are: Toyota Landcruiser, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Tuscon, Suzuki Jimny, Kia Sportage, Toyota Rav4 and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Ireland ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Ireland are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
Prepare that you can be fined even for a minor traffic violation. Some violations are subject to both fine and penalty points. Once you get the fine receipt, the payment must be done within 28 days. If you do not pay on time, the amount of the fine will increase by 50%. After that, you will have another 28 days to make the payment. In case the fine is not paid after the additional 28 days, the case is submitted to court. If a serious violation has been made, the case is likely to be submitted to court immediately.
Gas stations in Ireland usually sell unleaded gasoline (95), as well as diesel fuel. Petrol stations that sell leaded gasoline are very rare, as well as gas refueling stations.
The cost of one liter of unleaded petrol is approximately 1.2 euro. It should be mentioned that you will find 24/7 petrol stations in big cities and close to highways only. Therefore, if you plan to make rides to remote areas of the country, it is better to think about the purchase of fuel beforehand.
