Driving in Luxembourg from the UK: tolls and rules

We found no motorway toll or vignette for cars in Luxembourg on the official pages checked, and no low-emission zone. Winter tyres are compulsory in winter conditions for every car, whatever its country of registration (fine 74 EUR). Carry a warning triangle and your driving licence, V5C, insurance and MOT certificate; the motorway limit is 130 km/h (110 in rain).

How do tolls work in Luxembourg?

No motorway toll or vignette for cars was found on the official pages checked (see “Not confirmed yet” below). Luxembourg's official maximum fuel prices were not loaded, so no fuel price is given.

Low-emission zones and stickers

No low-emission zone in Luxembourg was found on the official pages checked (see “Not confirmed yet” below).

What must I carry in Luxembourg?

  • Warning triangle. For cars not registered in Luxembourg, a reflective vest is only mandatory in certain circumstances.[1]
  • Winter tyres: driving in winter conditions (black ice, packed snow, slush, ice sheets or frost) is only allowed with winter or all-weather tyres marked M.S., M+S, M&S or the alpine symbol on all wheels. This applies to all drivers regardless of where the car is registered; the fine is 74 EUR.[2]
  • FCDO travel advice: you must carry your driving licence, vehicle registration document, car insurance certificate, road tax and MOT certificate or face a fine, and carry your passport because it is easy to cross into neighbouring countries without realising it.[3]

What UK drivers need

  • FCDO travel advice: you can use a UK photocard driving licence to drive in Luxembourg for one year; with a paper licence, update it to a photocard or get the correct international driving permit (IDP).[3]
  • You do not need an IDP if you hold a UK photocard licence.[4]
  • Display a UK sticker unless your number plate shows the UK identifier with the Union flag.[5]
  • Take your log book (V5C) and your insurance certificate; you do not need a green card in the EU but must have valid insurance.[6]
  • FCDO travel advice: Luxembourg strictly enforces traffic laws; the blood alcohol limit is 0.05% (0.02% if you have held your licence for less than 2 years).[3]

For documents, insurance, pets and border checks that apply to every country, see the driving to Europe checklist.
