== Documents ==

# You have to be 18 years old with a valid full driving license in order to drive in Luxembourg. Driving licenses issued by any of the EU member states or the EEA are valid throughout the European Union including Luxembourg. Drivers in possession of a license issued outside EU are required to have an international driving permit (IDP).
# Registration certificate.
# Certificate of Motor Insurance. Insurance documents from any EU country are acceptable, though holding a International Motor insurance card (Green Card) with you is a good practice.
# All foreign-registered with non-EU number plates vehicles in France must display a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_vehicle_registration_code nationality sticker] at the rear. Separate signs are not needed for Canada, Mexico and the United States, where the province, state or district of registration is usually embossed or surface-printed on the vehicle registration plate.

== Items required in cars or with motorcycles ==

# Emergency warning triangle for vehicles with four or more wheels.
# Reflective jackets for the driver and the passengers, that must be worn when people get out of a broken down vehicle outside of built-up areas during night or when visibility is low.

== Winter conditions ==

In the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, driving a motor vehicle on public roads in winter conditions (black ice, packed snow, slush, ice sheets or frost) is permitted only with regulation winter tires (winter tires or all-weather tires marked "M.S.", "M+S", "M&S" or the alpine - 3PMSF - symbol) mounted on all wheels of the vehicle.

This regulation applies to all drivers, regardless of the country of registration of the vehicle. Non-observance is punishable by a 74 € fine. However, this does not apply to vehicles parked on public roads.

This requirement does not apply to mopeds, motorcycles, tricycles, lightweight quadricycles, tractors and self-propelled machinery. It is also not applicable to certain categories of vehicles, provided that winter tires do not exist by design for these categories, namely:

* special vehicles other than motor homes;
* vehicles used by the Army, the Grand-Ducal Police, the Customs and Excise Agency, the Emergency Services Administration and the communal fire and rescue services.<ref>Luxembourg's Administrative guide, [https://guichet.public.lu/en/citoyens/transports-mobilite/transports-individuels/vehicule-motorise/pneus-hiver.html Winter tyres compulsory in Luxembourg for winter driving conditions], Last update 22.01.2019</ref>
