Detailed FAQ on the rental process
Special service vehicles (ambulances, fire-engine and police cars) have a number of advantages on the road. If such a car moves with sound signals turned on, other motorists must give way to the vehicle.
If a police officer requests you to stop, you need to be calm and follow his/her orders. Having stopped the car, you need to open the window, put your hands on the wheel and stay where you are. Do not get out of the car as it may be considered as an attempt to escape.
Bicycle is a popular mode of transport in Estonia. To make sure cyclists are in safety, there are many special lanes for them in major cities of the country. At the same time, quite often cyclists have to move on the same road together with motorists.
