In Uzbekistan, driving is on the right-hand side of the road. There are no toll roads in the country. You’ll come across police stops and checkpoints on several roads, so make sure you have all your documents, especially your passport and International Driving Permit (IDP) since English is not a common language in Uzbekistan. Drivers in Uzbekistan are generally courteous, but you should always be aware of your surroundings.

The minimum driving age in Uzbekistan is 18. However, the minimum age to rent a car is either 21 or 25 in some companies. Young drivers below age 25 may incur underage driver charges from these companies. The documents needed to rent a car in Uzbekistan include a valid driver’s license, valid identification documents (passport or other government-issued ID), and a major credit card for payment. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is important since English is not the official language in this Central Asian nation.

The average price of gasoline in Uzbekistan is around 11,237 UZS (0.970 USD) per liter or 42,536.652 UZS (3.672 USD) per gallon. To save on fuel costs, consider renting a fuel-efficient car, to accommodate the road conditions and the distance you’ll cover throughout your trip. Gas stations are available outside the cities, but we advise you to carry supplies and extra fuel if you plan to drive to more remote locations. Gasoline supply can be sporadic outside Tashkent, so fill up whenever possible to avoid surprises. When renting a car, confirm the type of fuel the car uses.

The general speed limit in Uzbekistan is 50 km/h (31 mph) within the city, towns, and villages and 100 km/h (62 mph) on intercity highways. Speed limits are strictly enforced in Uzbekistan.

Adhere to the posted speed limits and slow down as you drive in highly populated zones.
