Road Rules and Traffic Regulations in Luxemburg - Driving Nuances

1. The total length of roads in Luxembourg is only 2,280 km. Absolutely all roads in the small country are paved. There are also highways in Luxembourg, which total length is 147 km. All roads are free to use.
2. The system of parking is also well-planned. All parking lots are divided into four types: orange, yellow, green and purple. Orange parking lots allow leaving cars at them for no more than two hours. At yellow parking lots you can leave your car for 3 - 5 hours, green parking lots allow parking up to 5 hours, and, finally, services of purple parking lots are the longest – up to 10 hours.
3. Each parking lot has a special board that indicates parking rules and rates. Some types of car parks offer free services at certain time of the day on weekdays and on weekends.

Nuances of Car Rental in Luxemburg

To save on your rental, we advise to book your car in advance. You will save the most if you do this several weeks or even several months prior to your trip. Rental offices in Luxemburg usually raise rental prices over time, based on the number of cars left available for the accounting period.

When looking for an exotic car (cabriolet, minivan or limousine), we advise to check in the rental offices located at airports, as they usually provide much wider choice comparing to offices in urban areas.

Upon receipt of invoices, bills and documents for your car at the rental location, please compare the obtained data with your voucher. Quite often, employees of rental offices in Luxemburg try to add optional charges or services without informing customers.

It is very important to pick up your car at the rental office in Luxemburg in a correct way. Prior to leaving the office, carefully inspect the car for various defects, and ensure that all the discovered defects are mentioned in your rental documents. In case of a non-compliance found, place a demand for correction to the rental officer.

4. Almost all parking lots are equipped with special machines that accept payments in cash. It is also possible to use special tokens that are sold in local tax offices, and special cards.
5. There are several large underground car parks in the center of the city. They are the most expensive ones. There are special electronic boards at car park entrances. These boards display current information about the availability of free spaces.
6. Some sidewalks may also have space for parking. You will notice such places because they are marked white. There are also special pockets for parking in some streets in residential areas. Foreigners should note that not all motorists are allowed to occupy such parking spaces. These parking spaces are for local residents only.
7. Parking rules are strictly controlled. If you leave the car in a wrong place or fail to leave a parking lot in time, then you will probably find your vehicle with its wheels blocked or even worse – it can be taken away by tow truck. Parking fines can be paid at any bank or post office.
8. Luxembourg suburbs are the location of several intercepting parking lots (P + R). The cost of services at such parking lots is lower comparing to city parking lots. Moreover, all clients are provided with free public transport tickets. There is nothing difficult in getting to the desired area from the P + R parking lot. Starting from 7:00 to 19:00 numerous buses ply from parking lots in different directions.
9. In residential areas, the maximum allowed speed is 50 km/h, and beyond its borders the maximum permitted speed is 90 km/h. On motorways, the speed limit is 130 km/h. If it’s raining or snowing, it is allowed to drive not faster than 110 km/h. The maximum allowed speed for vehicles equipped with studded tires is 90 km/h.
10. The maximum permitted blood alcohol content for drivers is 0.5 ppm. If the breath test signifies blood alcohol content between 0.5 and 0.8 ppm, the violator will be fined 145 euro. If the alcohol blood content varies between 0.8 and 1.2 ppm, the amount of the fine will be increased to 500 euro.
