Cost of car ownership/import in Lithuania

11 years ago

Dear all,

I'm moving to Vilnius after the summer, to study at MRU. I'm planning to buy a car there/import a car, however I can't seem to find that much information regarding car ownership.

Is it correct that you don't need to pay any road tax? What is the average cost of car insurance (MPTL)? Any other costs I'm overlooking?

Apart from the actual cost of ownership, I'm also curious as to how easy it is to import a car from another EU-country into Lithuania, or if it's more convenient to buy a car in Lithuania. Anybody who knows something about this?

Any other thoughts concerning car ownership in Lithuania are appreciated.

With kind regards,

Martijn
