Driving a rental car in Macedonia – Good to know

 

Once you've landed in Macedonia and picked up your rental car, we wish you a safe and enjoyable journey. For those navigating Macedonian roads for the first time, familiarize yourself with the vehicle, understand local traffic regulations, and plan your routes using GPS or navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze.

In Macedonia, driving is on the right-hand side. A valid driver's license from your home country is required, and depending on your origin, an International Driving Permit (IDP) may be necessary. We ensure your rental car is equipped with mandatory safety items, such as a warning triangle and a first aid kit.

The road network includes both urban streets and scenic rural routes. Be cautious of local driving habits, particularly in busier cities like Skopje, where traffic can be heavy during peak hours (typically 7-9 AM and 4-6 PM). Always adhere to road signs and markings, as enforcement is strict.

Speed limits are generally 50 km/h (31 mph) in urban areas, 80 km/h (50 mph) on rural roads, and 120 km/h (75 mph) on highways, unless otherwise indicated. Speed cameras are in use, and penalties for violations can be significant.

When parking in towns or cities, look for designated parking zones and pay attention to restrictions. Public parking may be metered or require the use of parking apps. Avoid parking in unauthorized areas to prevent fines or towing.

Fuel stations are abundant in urban areas and along major highways, but if you're venturing into remote rural areas, monitor your fuel level and plan stops in advance. Most stations accept credit cards and are self-service.

If you plan to visit popular attractions like Lake Ohrid, Matka Canyon, or the ancient city of Heraclea Lyncestis, consider traffic patterns and parking availability. Many tourist sites offer dedicated parking lots or nearby public transport options.

If you need assistance while in Macedonia, don't hesitate to contact us. In an emergency, the general emergency number is 112. The national emergency number for police services is 192, for an amblunace 194 and for fire brigade is 193. 

Enjoy your journey and explore the diverse landscapes, historical landmarks, and vibrant cities that Macedonia has to offer!
