Small cars are recommended for city driving due to the narrow winding roads. Some small cars available through KAYAK include the Renault Clio, Volkswagen Polo, Ford Ka, Ford Fiesta and Kia Picanto. You can get a wide selection of car hire in Limerick services to suit your every need, including luxury and SUV models. The small cars have good mileage and are suitable for small families and a few pieces of luggage. Medium cars such as the Toyota Corolla, Toyota Avensis, Ford Mondeo or Open Insignia are ideal for a larger group. They have more power to conquer the challenging mountainous terrain if you want to explore all that Limerick offers.

The general rule for visitors to Limerick is to drive slowly, due to the road conditions. The speed limit while driving on the motorways is 120 km/h; national roads and dual-carriageways are set at 100 km/h; regional roads are 80 km/h (50 mph), and it’s 50 km/h in urban areas. However, a special 30 km/h speed limit is enforced by the local council. It is important to note that cars in Limerick have both km/h and mph gauges. Speed cameras on motorways have been launched, and over-speeding fines may be as high as ₤ 80 (A$ 117). It would help if you always observed the speed limit road signs, to avoid penalties.
