Vilnius car hire

As Vilnius is a city with an ancient Old Town that has cobblestone streets and narrow lanes, renting a compact car is advised. Consider that petrol is very expensive in Europe compared to the US and a smaller car will also require less refueling. Also check what is covered by the insurance before driving off with the hire car to be on the safe side.

Stay within the speed limits at all times during your visit to Vilnius. General regulations permit up to 50 km/h (31 mph) within city limits and 90 km/h (55 mph) on roads outside the city. On freeways up to 130 km/h (80 mph) is allowed, but adjust your speed to prevailing weather and road conditions.

For metered on-street parking there are various zones in Vilnius that are blue, red, yellow, and green. Time restrictions are given in Roman numerals that represent the days, and a number to indicate the time period from where parking is permitted (i.e. I-V means Monday to Friday and 8-22 indicates that meters apply from 8 am to 10 pm). There are also parking lots available, including the underground parking in Gediminas Ave or the one on Tilto Street.
