Road route from Lithuania to Czechia
The fastest road route from Klaipėda to Prague is about 1,250 km. The truck drives through Kaunas into Poland and passes Warsaw and Wrocław. It crosses into Czechia south-west of Wrocław and reaches Prague on the D11 motorway. Lithuania, Poland and Czechia are all in the EU, so the truck crosses no customs border.
Ostrava and Brno have a different fastest route. The truck leaves Poland on the A1 motorway and continues on the Czech D1. Ostrava is about 1,010 km from Klaipėda. The price we agree includes the road tolls in every country on the route.
Czechia is one hour behind Lithuania all year. When it is 10:00 in Klaipėda, it is 09:00 in Prague. Give the loading and delivery times in the local time of each address.
Tolls and driving bans for trucks in Czechia
Trucks over 3.5 t pay an electronic toll in Czechia for each kilometre on toll roads. Each truck needs an on-board unit, and the unit belongs to one vehicle only. The rate depends on the road and on the truck, for example its axles, weight and emission class. Our price includes the toll.
Czech driving bans cover trucks over 7.5 t and trucks over 3.5 t with a trailer. The bans apply on motorways and class I roads. They cover Sundays and public holidays all year. In July and August, they also cover Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. We plan loading and delivery around these hours.
| Day | Period | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Sundays and public holidays | All year | 13:00–22:00 |
| Fridays | 1 July to 31 August | 17:00–21:00 |
| Saturdays | 1 July to 31 August | 07:00–13:00 |
Winter rules for trucks in Czechia
From 1 November to 31 March, trucks over 3.5 t in Czechia need winter tyres when the road has snow, ice or frost. The rule also applies when the weather makes snow or ice likely during the trip. The drive axles need winter tyres with at least 6 mm of tread.
Snow can slow a truck in winter. Agree a delivery window with the receiver, and send us the loading date early.

Documents for loads between Lithuania and Czechia
Both countries are in the EU customs territory, so EU goods travel between them without an export declaration and without customs formalities. Every load travels with a CMR consignment note. Add the invoice and a packing list, so the receiver can check the goods at delivery.
If the route crosses a country outside the EU, the load travels with a transit document. Goods from outside the EU that are not yet cleared also need a transit document. Tell us before loading.
