Driving in Liechtenstein: the three basics
Drives on the
right
The driver sits on the left and overtakes on the left. Roundabouts turn anticlockwise.
Your licence
EU licence is enough
An EU, EEA or Swiss licence is valid as it stands. A licence from anywhere else works alongside an International Driving Permit, which hire desks and police expect to see.
Motorways
Free
There is no motorway charge for a car.
There is no motorway in Liechtenstein and no vignette for its roads. The vignette you need is Switzerland's or Austria's, for the motorway you take to get here.
Liechtenstein has no motorway of its own, and the Swiss vignette covers the road you arrive on.
No motorway, no toll of its own, and Swiss rules on the road that brings you in.
The Swiss A13 runs along the Rhine beside the country and needs the Swiss annual vignette; the roads inside Liechtenstein are free.
The country is 25 km long. Vaduz to Malbun, the ski village at the top, takes half an hour.
The alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l, as in Switzerland and Austria.
Swiss speed enforcement standards apply and the fines match: the tolerance either side of the border is minimal.
Winter equipment is needed for the Malbun road from November, which climbs to 1,600 m.
