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 Dublin 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 Dublin 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 Dublin, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

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.
