The currency is the euro and a motorhome pays no road charge. The Road Maintenance and Development Programme Financing Act sets the road user charge by vehicle category, and the categories named are M2, M3, N1, N2 and N3. M1, which is what a motorhome is, is not on the list. That also means a panel van still registered as N1 light goods is, which is the sort of detail that only bites at the roadside.

Cards, cash and machines
- Cards work for almost everything in Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipeda, and contactless is normal.
- Keep some cash. Markets, small village shops and some rural cafes still prefer it.
Tipping
- Not expected. Service is in the price.
- Ten percent for a good restaurant meal is generous rather than standard.
Buy the Curonian Spit ticket before the ferry, not at the barrier. Neringa sells it through the UNIPARK system online, by e-mail and in person, and the fee is a single entry rather than a day rate. Breaching the entry-fee rules is an offence in its own right under the Code of Administrative Offences, at 20 to 40 euros and 40 to 100 on a repeat.
