What is the route from the Czech Republic to Lithuania?

We reach Lithuania through Poland along the Via Baltica. From the Czech Republic the route runs via Wrocław or Katowice to Warsaw, then along the S8 and S61 via Białystok and Augustów to the Budzisko–Kalvarija border crossing. Prague to Kaunas is about 1,050 km, Vilnius around 1,150 km and the port of Klaipėda roughly 1,250 km.

From Ostrava and Moravia the route via Katowice is 150–200 km shorter. It runs inside Schengen without border checks, and the shipment usually reaches the consignee within 2 days of loading.

Where we go in Lithuania – industrial centres

We most often head to these cities and industrial areas with manufacturing and automotive companies:

  • Vilnius – production, IT
  • Kaunas – logistics
  • Klaipėda – port
  • Šiauliai – production
  • Panevėžys – furniture, food

What do we transport to Lithuania?

To Lithuania we carry engineering parts, building materials, glass, packaging and pallets for the industrial zones in Kaunas, Vilnius and Šiauliai. We also run regularly to the port of Klaipėda, where goods continue by sea to Scandinavia.

Lithuanian industrial and free economic zones (Kaunas, Klaipėda) have their own gate checks, so we announce the driver's name and plate number in advance.

Which tolls and rules apply in Lithuania?

  • Tolls on the route: Poland charges the distance-based e-TOLL. Lithuania levies a time-based vignette on trucks over 3.5 t and switches to a distance-based toll on 1 January 2027.
  • Driving ban: Lithuania has no weekend truck ban. Only the Polish restrictions on public holidays and in the summer season apply on the way.
  • Borders: the border with Poland is inside Schengen. Lithuania's borders with Belarus and Russia (Kaliningrad) are external EU borders – we do not go there.
  • Currency: Lithuania uses the euro, and goods within the EU travel without customs duty.

What do we transport from Lithuania to the Czech Republic?

From Lithuania to the Czech Republic we mainly carry furniture and furniture components, wood products, plastics, dairy and food products, and laser and electrical equipment from the Vilnius area. We load in Kaunas, Vilnius, Klaipėda, Šiauliai and smaller industrial towns.

Can you arrange regular transport to Lithuania, there and back?
Yes. We arrange regular transport to Lithuania on fixed days and, if you like, there and back: the vehicle delivers your goods and loads the next consignment on the way back, such as returnable packaging or goods for your warehouse. The rate is agreed for a longer period.
How long does transport to Lithuania take?
Transport to Lithuania usually takes under 2 days from loading, and we arrange a vehicle within 24 hours.
Which route does a truck take from the Czech Republic to Lithuania?
The truck drives through Poland – via Wrocław or Katowice to Warsaw and on along the S8 and S61 via Białystok to the Budzisko–Kalvarija crossing. From there it continues to Kaunas, Vilnius or Klaipėda.
How many kilometres is it from Prague to Vilnius?
Prague to Vilnius is about 1,150 km by road, Kaunas around 1,050 km and Klaipėda roughly 1,250 km. From Ostrava each of these routes is about 150–200 km shorter.
Which tolls apply on the way to Lithuania?
On the way to Lithuania you pay the Polish e-TOLL and the Lithuanian time-based vignette for vehicles over 3.5 t. From 2027 Lithuania introduces a distance-based toll. Charges are always included in our quote.
Is there a weekend truck ban in Lithuania?
No, Lithuania has no weekend truck ban. We only need to observe the Polish bans on public holidays and in the summer season, and we plan the loading accordingly.
Do you deliver to the port of Klaipėda?
Yes, Klaipėda is an ice-free port and we deliver goods there for onward shipping to Scandinavia and beyond. We need the shipping line and the vessel's cargo cut-off in good time.
Do you deliver to the free economic zones in Kaunas and Klaipėda?
Yes, we deliver to the zones in Kaunas and Klaipėda regularly. Because of gate checks we announce the driver's name and plate number in advance – please give us a contact at the consignee.
How fast does a shipment reach Lithuania?
A shipment to Lithuania usually reaches the consignee within 2 days of loading. From Moravia the truck is often in Kaunas by the afternoon of the second day.
Do you carry single pallets to Lithuania?
Yes, single pallets for Lithuania travel as part loads with other Baltic shipments. Combining loads on the Lithuania–Latvia–Estonia route lowers the cost of small volumes.
Is customs clearance needed for Lithuania?
No, Lithuania is in the EU and Schengen, so goods travel without customs duty. Customs only applies to goods crossing the EU's external border, for example to Belarus – we do not handle such transport.
How does winter affect transport to Lithuania?
Snow and frost are common in the Lithuanian winter. Trucks run with winter equipment, and frost-sensitive goods travel in a temperature-controlled vehicle – mention it in your enquiry.
Do you carry furniture components and timber to Lithuania?
Yes, furniture and wood processing are among Lithuania's strongest industries. We carry fittings, boards and components to Lithuania and finished furniture and wood products back.
Can you route goods through Lithuania to Latvia and Estonia?
Yes, Lithuania lies on the Via Baltica. We often combine shipments for Riga or Tallinn with goods for Lithuania – Kaunas to Riga is about 270 km.
Do you also carry goods from Lithuania to the Czech Republic?
Yes, we handle imports from Lithuania regularly – mostly furniture, wood products, plastics and food. We load anywhere in Lithuania and deliver across the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
