Dublin - Post Report Question and Answers
What kind of car do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car do you advise not to bring?
Driving lanes and parking spaces are a bit smaller that the USA so don't bring anything you can't park but really there is everything here. Beware there is currently an issue with Clements and others terminating their coverage in Dublin as their underwriter (AIG) is no longer playing ball I believe. If this happens, getting your car insure here will be difficult and expensive. Do not disregard this. No left hand drive imports allowed anymore. US driving record does NT count when applying for insurance here...so in effect you will pay the same rate as a hormone-infested 17 year old, driving a Ferrari and holding an iPhone. - Jul 2016
You'll see every type of vehicle on the roads there. In the city you can get away with minivans and SUVs, but in the country if you're driving around you might wish for a smaller car. Gas is also expensive so I'd go for a car with good gas mileage. - Jun 2014
