Moldova has right-hand traffic. The road network consists of national and regional roads; there are no motorways in the classic European sense, but most intercity routes are toll roads for foreign vehicles.

Traffic rules are mandatory for all drivers, regardless of citizenship or country of vehicle registration. Control is exercised by the traffic police and automatic recording devices.

Documents for foreign drivers

When driving in Moldova, foreign drivers must have:

a valid driver's license (national; an international license is recommended for drivers from non-EU countries);
vehicle registration documents;
international civil liability insurance (“Green Card”);
in the case of rental, a car rental agreement.

Documents may be checked by the police when entering the country or during roadside checks.

Speed limits

The following general speed limits apply to passenger cars in Moldova:

- in built-up areas — 50 km/h;

- outside built-up areas — 90 km/h;

- on certain sections of national roads — up to 110 km/h (where appropriate signs are in place).

Speed control is carried out by both the patrol police and cameras.

Toll roads and road vignettes in Moldova

In Moldova, foreign vehicles are required to have a road vignette, which gives them the right to use the country's national and regional roads.

Moldovan vignette:

mandatory for all cars with foreign registration;
does not apply to vehicles registered in Moldova;
is issued for a specific period (from several days to a year);
is checked by the police and other regulatory authorities.

The vignette must be obtained upon entering the country. Driving without a valid vignette is considered a violation and is punishable by a fine, which may be imposed during a roadside check.

Key point: In Moldova, a vignette is required for all roads, not just certain sections. This is why foreign drivers often break the rules within the first few hours after crossing the border.

👉 To avoid fines and delays, it is recommended to purchase a road vignette online in advance. At Visit World, the vignette is issued remotely, with official registration and confirmation by email.

Car rental

Car rental in Moldova is available to foreigners provided that:

they have a valid driver's license;
the driver is of minimum age, usually 21 years old;
at least 1 year of driving experience (requirements may vary depending on the rental company).

When renting a car, the driver is responsible for obtaining a vignette and complying with traffic rules, unless otherwise specified in the contract.

Control and responsibility

In Moldova, compliance with traffic rules is monitored by:

patrol police;
stationary and mobile cameras;
random checks of foreign vehicles.

Violation of the rules for using toll roads or the absence of a vignette is grounds for imposing a fine.

Insurance for traveling by car

To legally drive a vehicle in Moldova, international auto insurance “Green Card” is mandatory. It is also recommended to take out medical insurance for traveling abroad, which covers the costs of medical care and hospitalization.

👉 Medical insurance and road vignettes for Moldova can be purchased online at Visit World — in one service, without the need to contact third-party platforms.
