Driving in Europe

Planning to drive across Europe? Every country sets its own rules, and the differences can be costly if you get them wrong. From speed limits and mandatory in-car equipment to winter tyre periods, low emission zones and the documents you must carry, our country guides cover everything you need to drive legally and confidently. Browse the guides below by country, or start with the essentials that apply almost everywhere: carry your licence, registration and insurance, keep a warning triangle and hi-vis vest in the car, and check whether your route needs a vignette or toll payment before you set off.
