Which side of the road do people drive on in Gibraltar?

Short answer

Gibraltar drives on the right, the same as Spain, even though it is a British Overseas Territory. UK visitors hiring or bringing a car should adjust accordingly.

Detailed answer

Driving on the right allows traffic to flow directly between Gibraltar and Spain. Roads in Gibraltar are narrow and busy, and the town centre is compact enough to explore on foot.

Since 15 July 2026 cars cross the land frontier without routine immigration or customs checks.
