A road-use charge applies to foreign-registered vehicles, paid at the border or online.
Mandatory outside built-up areas at all times.
Required for young children, with limited availability.
Rental agreements frequently exclude Transnistria, and taking a hire car there without permission voids insurance entirely. Rural roads are poor and unlit, with horse carts and livestock. Do not drive at night outside the main corridors.
