Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, but there are a few key differences between driving in Britain and driving in Gibraltar. The biggest one is that people drive on the right-hand side of the road, like neighboring Spain but unlike the United Kingdom. Here are some other helpful tips and driving rules in Gibraltar:

- There are no tolls or entry taxes in order to enter Gibraltar by car.
- The speed limit throughout the peninsula is 50 kilometers per hour (31 miles per hour) unless noted by clearly-posted traffic signs.
- It is mandatory that you wear seatbelts when riding/driving in your vehicle at all times.
- You must not talk on a cell phone unless you are using a hands-free device.
- Dipped headlights must be used during the evening and early morning before sunrise.
- Pedestrians have the right of way at all crossings in Gibraltar so be prepared to yield to them as necessary.
- If you are riding a motorcycle or any other type of two-wheeled vehicle, a helmet is mandatory.
- If you want to take an automobile tour of the Rock of Gibraltar, you must reserve this with a local tour group as non-resident automobiles are not allowed past the Moorish Castle entrance.

If you are picking up your rental car in Gibraltar, be sure to ask your agent any questions you might have before leaving. Avis, Budget, and many other international rental car companies operate in Gibraltar, most being based at Gibraltar Airport in the northern part of the peninsula near the `frontier` (the Spanish border).
