ROAD:
Serbia covers about 18,000 km of primary roads (380 km motorways & 165 km of secondary highways). Roads in Serbia are bumpy but generally in a good state of repair. The damage along the main highways has been repaired by now. Regulations: Traffic drives on the right. Road signs may be poorly marked and new signs are likely to be in Cyrillic script in some areas of the country. The speed limit is 60km/h in towns and villages, 80km/h on main roads and 120km/hr on highways. You're allowed to have an alcohol rate of 0.5 promille - equivalent to one glass of alcoholic drink. Be aware that the main highways charge toll. Drivers should not rely on local petrol stations for fuel, owing to shortages of oil, although hard currency might make otherwise rationed and scarce petrol available. Spare parts are very difficult to obtain. Driving at night is not advisable, owing to the poor condition of the roads. Documentation: Full national driving licence is accepted. No customs documents are required but car log books and a Green Card are necessary. Third party insurance can be taken out at the border when travelling to Kosovo. Coach: Efficient and cheap coaches used to connect all towns. The fuel shortages have restricted the services severely. Taxi: Main cities have metered taxis. Car hire: Available from airports and main towns. Urban: There are good bus services in the main towns, with tramways and trolleybuses in Belgrade . Multi-journey tickets are available and are sold in advance through tobacconists. The passenger punches the ticket in a machine on board. Fares paid to the driver are at double the pre-purchase prices.

RENT-A-CAR: While in Belgrade and Serbia you might be needing a car. It shouldn't be a problem to rent one by day, week or month. Traveling on the road can be a pretty nerve-racking experience in Serbia and before you head out to drive you have to know the situation. Care should be taken when driving out of main towns and the highway, because few byroads are signed or properly marked and some of them are poorly maintained. Serbian drivers have a reputation for fast and sometimes reckless driving, which can be quite off-putting for foreign motorists. Guarded parking places and garages are scarce in Belgrade or elsewhere in the country. Yet even this doesn't fully explain all the difficulties you might face. Most policemen and service shop owners don't speak English.
