Detailed FAQ on the rental process
Drivers, who received a driving license less than three years ago, have another limit of alcohol in blood. The allowable rate for them is 0.00 ppm. If the test result shows the level that is more than 0.00 ‰, but less than 0.5 ‰, then the amount of the fine will be from 150 to 620 euro. If the level of alcohol in blood will be more than 0.5 ‰, the driver will lose his driving license for a period from 3 to 6 years.
It should be noted that local fines depend on the period of time, during which the violation occurred. For instance, during the period from 22:00 to 7:00 the fine for a certain violation of traffic regulations will be approximately 30% higher than the fine for the same violation committed in the afternoon.
