I hitched a truck to the border immediately. Just be aware that hitching at the border checkpoint is a pain in the ass.

Maybe I just got unlucky, but I stood here for more than an hour. For the first 50 minutes, I stood here with a sign SRB. After that, I switched to Dragoman and got a ride to a gas station there in half an hour. I would say a lot of local traffic. The traffic light is 30 sec green, 30 sec red.

Finding a car at this border checkpoint was not fun. You can easily cross the border on foot, even though it is a car-only checkpoint, just approach the booth, show them your passport, and you're set. But finding a car willing to take me anywhere was a complete pain in the ass, most of the drivers were not willing to stop because of the police presence. If they stop for the shops/toilets, they are usually packed with stuff, especially during the holiday season. But the Serbian cops are awesome. They did not bother me at all, and when they had a shift change (7 pm Serbian time), one of them asked me about my goal (he saw that I was stuck there for 5 hours) and stopped a car for me going all the way to Czechia. Maybe soliciting a ride in the queue between the Bulgarian and Serbian checkpoints would be easier, but you can't really do that once you enter Serbia.

I think this is an awesome spot. If you have the energy to ask, there are a lot of people stopping here for a quick bite, if not, just thumbing with a sign worked pretty decently for me. I really cool dude stopped for me and brought me all the way to Sofia. The cars are slow, and there is a place to stop easily.

The first guy I asked brought me all the way to Obnova on his way to Montana. Looks like a decent gas station with nice traffic. With a bit of luck, you can find a ride here all the way to Sofia.

A decent spot for directions to Pleven and Sofia. I found a car in a while. The staff was really friendly and cool with me asking around the gas pumps.

I found a car across the border almost immediately, there was a large queue, and almost everybody was going to Varna. You can ask at the nearby gas station, it's pretty frequent.

I stood here for 20 minutes while a car was standing at the place to stop, then I went into the small shop, got myself a hot dog, went back to hitching, and got a ride immediately. I got a ride all the way to the border with a chill guy. There is a spot to pull over, and cars are pretty slow. But I think you might be better off hitching closer to the city.

I was going around asking for Bucharest or Sibiu, found a truck leaving later, asked around a bit more, but it didn't work, so I took the truck.

After a year, I returned to this gas station. The story was similar, but it wasn't that late at night, and I managed to find a couple near Sibiu. Also, I met a pair of hitchhikers here, so it's likely a frequent spot. Overall, I believe this is a good spot for Sibiu and Bucharest.

46.2109, 20.7673
At a border checkpoint, I arrived late in the day and was asking around at the nearby truck stop. You can definitely find somebody there, but I had no luck. After that, I stood at the beginning of the highway with a sign reading "Arad," just to move to a better station, and after about 20 minutes, a very nice guy brought me there.

48.3492, 19.0669
This isn't the greatest spot; there isn't much space for cars to stop, but the cars are funneled and slow. I actually managed to hitch a truck here. He was slowing down, waved at me, and I literally jumped into it, as he stopped for a second.

Pretty bad spot for Slovakia. I asked all afternoon, and my only find was a truck leaving at 3 am the next day, which I decided to take. You can easily get from this gas station and sleep in nearby corn fields, if you find a truck going in the middle of the night, as I did. Did not see a single Slovak license plate around here.

The first guy I asked brought me all the way to Krakow, but I think I got lucky, because if he hadn't taken me, the place looked pretty deserted.

Maybe it was a decent spot, but I did not ask around, just waited at the end of the slip road. After around half an hour, two guys stopped and brought me to a spot near Radom.

51.1655, 17.0260
In my opinion, this is a better spot than the traffic lights or just in front of the nearby roundabout. The cars are concentrated in this lane, still not so fast, and everybody is going towards Warszawa, Lodz. I found a car going all the way to Warszawa in half an hour.
Mon 2026-08-10 18:06 · 53 min wait ⭐
51.1609, 17.0277
After nearly an hour with no one stopping, I moved to the highway ramp. (sign Olesnica, Lodz, Warszawa). Cars can go in so many different directions, and the traffic lights are likely sensor-based (or precisely timed), so they do not have much time to look at your sign or stop.

51.1986, 14.3284
I did not like this parking. There were only a few trucks, and none of them were willing to take me, and it took a pretty long time to find a car going all the way to Poland. Luckily, after an hour, I found a car going all the way to Wroclaw.
Mon 2026-08-10 13:11 · 3 min wait · 33 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
51.1591, 13.9589
Awesome spot, cars going in the direction of Bautzen are not plentiful, but still a decent number, and they have to stop in front of the traffic light. Also, there is a spot where they can easily pull over in case you need to put your stuff in the trunk.
Mon 2026-08-10 12:46 · 10 min wait · 19 km ⭐⭐⭐
51.0202, 13.9554
This spot is not the best, but there are a lot of cars going around you, but not much space to stop, though. But in just a few minutes, a guy returned from me and brought me all the way to the A4 highway.

Always ask on the ferry, it's likely you can find a car going for a very long journey. I got lucky and found a car going directly to Munich. Our ferry was going from Bastia to Livorno.

Pretty decent spot in case of an emergency, but if you are coming from the south, don't fuck up like me and get off at the Shell gas station a few kilometers south (destination). I stood here in a high-vis vest, and a guy took me back to that shell station I missed.

I got dropped off by a truck that had problems with its customs and needed to go to Dover. Luckily, there is a big traffic light crossroad with a long stop time, so cars can actually pick you up. I stood here with a sign that said "Dover" and got a lift within minutes.

It took me quite a while to find a truck going past London towards Dover, but with a bit of luck, you can do it easily. It's a big rest stop on both sides, so it's not hard to find a car going anywhere.

I was thinking that here might be a good spot for past york, but not really. The gas station is small and infrequent. After nearly two hours, I got a mercy ride directly to Scarborough, thought.

53.7743, -1.4690
Good spot, if you don't want to ask around. The traffic is bottlenecked here because the other routes from the roundabout are still under construction. Just be aware that there are a bunch of fuckers working on the nearby construction, so if a van filled with a bunch of laughing guys in high viz stops, don't get in. They will not bring you to York, but to a nearby construction site, and you will have to walk back here.

This is a massive rest stop. I can highly recommend it. But when walking around the trucks, I had no luck (it took me about 45 minutes). After that, I moved to the exit with just thumbing with a sign, and it was pretty fast all the way to Leeds.

Quite large gas station. But pretty bad for direction Glasgow. I think I got a mercy ride out of here, but I think you are much better when heading towards Edinburgh or Stirling.

55.9373, -3.3652
This is a decent spot, but if you have the option to pick a gas station, I would opt for the larger one closer to Glasgow. Here many rental cars refuel for the airport.

Gas stations are the gold standard and this is a good one. Not the biggest one, but still decent. There is a safe path from the city directly to here. I got a ride to Edinburgh.

57.1145, -2.0892
This is likely a good spot, but I just unlucky. I came here in the evening and tried to thumb a ride to Dundee. Tried for two hours, asked at the gas station, nothing worked. Then I slept hidden in nearby bushes (it's hidden and doable, not comfortable) and continued the next morning. It took me like 20 minutes to thumb a car. Btw, the gas station staff is awesome, I went here in the evening (around 8pm) asked for a cardboard and the guy told me that I can have all the pastry that I want because he has to throw it out. Don't count on that, but he made my day.

A decent spot. I stood just on the ramp to McDonald's. I would advise you not to ask for the rides in the McDonald's parking lot, I did not even have time to start asking and the manager came out pissed at me that I can't do that (even though I did not do anything). A cool fisherman waved at me from the lot and took me all the way to Aberdeen.

This is a decent spot for Peterhead, but maybe I just got lucky. There is a small infrequent gas station, so you are much better just thumbing from around here.

52.6197, -1.2069
I just came out of the gas station and a car with Belgian license plates pulled over to me and asked, if they can bring me somewhere. Long story short, got a ride directly to Edinburgh. Great spot, ask around the parking lot.

I walked around and got a truck all the way to Leicester truck stop. This is a large rest stop and definitely a great place for going norh. Free toilets, Wi-Fi and power outlets. A lot of cars and even trucks.

51.6886, -0.2235
From here you can find a cars going in all directions. That makes it easier and harder at the same time. But it's still a great spot. I just needed to go for a better gas station near Luton on my way north. You can charge your phone inside and there are free toilets inside. As around and you will find someone.

A pretty good gas station, if you need a ride towards Cambridge or London. I got a ride in a moment. There is a lot of traffic.

52.2665, 0.3952
I would very much advice you not to hitchhike from this place. I tried red light hitchhiking, it worked for me before, but not here. The lights changes fast, so there is no time to stop and for direction Cambridge the traffic is pretty weak as well. I had to walk to a nerby gas station like 6 kilometers and it was not a pleasant experience in scorching summer heat. But if you have to walk to the same gas station as I did, don't use Google maps, you can easily walk around the farms, it's only private property when it comes to cars and it's easily walkable.

Not a great spot to be honest, took me more than half an hour and the cars are going fast. And I made a huge mistake of getting out in Littleport, that costed me a lot of headache. I would very much advice to get off at the carwash on the motorway.

A great spot, but if you are heading towards Cambridge, be aware that you can use both the part going north and south. There is a bridge between them for easy crossing. I needed to go for Bedford, but got a ride just to the ramp and continued from there.

Ok, this is my short rant about getting to the UK. It's hard, like really hard. Stop thinking about that in your average hitchhiking times, multiple it by 10. It's like waiting for Godot, but it's the same as ever, it's not matter of change, but time and persistence. I got lucky with a Norwegian car, they told me that they are going in two days and I agreed. But it's extremely difficult and absolute majority don't want to even speak to you once they hear the word UK. Foreign license plates are your goal, but it's still going to be a massive pain. I approached UK cars without a sign and just waved my sign to anyone else. Have your passport and ETA ready and the best of luck for all of you.

A decent spot, there were no cars parked here, a good one if you don't want to walk that far. But I would say it's better to just aim for Brugge and get off at the gas station on the highway if going further.

There is a small truck stop and a gas station, but I would advise looking for something better. I was aiming for UK so that might have been also the cause that I didn't get a ride.

If going west, avoid this place at all cost. The traffic was infrequent and exclusively eastbound or going south. The owner is a cool guy and he tried to help, but only a one good Samaritan saved me and brought me to a better place not far from here.

I was dropped off here and to my surprise, it was not an absolute shit hole. Maybe I got lucky, but I waved to all the cars leaving the gas station, McDonald's and the shopping mall and after around half an hour a guy stopped. I would only advice you to aim for some closer places. I did not wait for a ride directly to Dunkerque, but took a shorter ride to better spot.

All the reviews are true, avoid this place at all cost. The traffic is mostly local or eastbound (heard a lot of Munich and Nuremberg), nothing going west. I settled for Wurzburg after two painful hours. Find another place or try to a least find a short ride from here to a better place.

To be honest, not the greatest spot, but the best, when it comes to car going from Prague to Slaný and you need to get to Chomutov. Ask around, you only need ride to Lotouš and from there it's easy. (Look up Lotouš place I created) Not a lot of cars stopping here, but you don't need long ride.

To be honest, not really great spot. Hitch was not slow by any means, but gas station personal kicked me out, so I had to stand on the parking nearby. One tip to getting here from Brno. Get the train to Brno - Starý Lískovec, from there you must walk to Martina Ševčíka street and just before you cross under highway you need to climb up next to highway on the side of the gas station. The climb is kinda steep, but doable even with large backpack and dress shoes. You need to walk next to highway (BUT BEHIND THE RAILING, THERE IS QUITE A LOT OF SPACE), until you reach the gas station. Take care, stay safe.

Ok, this was not great spot south, if you are heading south I would discourage you from going here, but it was kinda nice spot towards Belgium. Be aware a lot of migrants are lurking around after dark, we had two of them jump on top of our truck and drove them to Belgium (they were not happy about that and banged on our roof). It was definitely one of my crazier stories, but it was kinda fun. Just to be aware of that. (Normally I would sleep around here, but I would never sleep in this place, it was not safe, therefore I went back north to Belgium)

To be honest, avoid this place, if possible. Sweeds are not helpful, and speaking to them usually doesn't help. I only got from here because a Belgian dude came, and I talked to him. Traditional hitchhiking is out of the question here; the cars are fast and almost impossible to stop. You are far from any useful stuff nearby, and walking anywhere is out of the question. You are at the mercy of someone else if you decide to get off here.

The best way to get from Malung, in my opinion. A guy offered to take me to the motel in Duch Mountain, which was a mistake; it took me a few hours to get there.

Not a bad spot, you can be seen clearly. Low car traffic the further north you go, but people are more willing to take you in my opinion. There is a gas station nearby, but mostly local traffic.

Same story as my previous spot. There are only a few cars on this road, but they usually travel long distances. You can hide under a gas station roof in case of rain, as I did. In case you need a place to sleep, there is an emergency Laavu (shelter) nearby. There is a large place to stop, and you can be seen clearly.

Even though this was a quick ride for me, you can likely find a better spot. There is a large truck parking lot and a McDonald's drive-through; many people use it, so that might be a good opportunity. Also, there is free Wi-Fi at the nearby McDonald's.

Ok, this is not your typical gas station/spot, but I changed cars here and thought it might help somebody. If you do not need to go here, do not go here, but if you are here in the middle of nowhere, this might be helpful. Here are quite a few trucks going in almost all directions.

To be honest, from my experience, Szczuczyn is not a great place for a hitchhiker. Multiple roads go in the same direction from here, and cars split. I wanted to reach Suwałki, so it might have been better to take the highway rather than a local ride to Grajewo. If going from the south and able to do so, avoid Szczuczyn and Grajewo at all.

This is a good spot, but you have a dilemma here when going north. You can take either the highway exit or the local one; they are right next to each other. I chose the local route, and it might have been a mistake. Both of them have plenty of space to stop.

Ok, I might be a little bit biased, but this is one of those spots in my heart. The whole Wojska Polskiego Road is nice; there are places to stop every couple of meters, and I think there is a bus stop as well. I got lucky here and got a ride all the way to Kołno, even though I thought this would just be a short last ride of the day. They took me 100 km north, and it was a great ride.

Do you want to go to Finland and have experience of the lifetime? If yes, this is a place for you. Stand by the gate to the pier, there is only one and every boat owner need to come through it. Now just ask if somebody is going to Finland and maybe you will be lucky as I was. Few tips: Good weather helps On Friday and weekend plenty of people are going to Finland and back Summer is prime time Looking clean is useful Absolutely majority of boat owners don't wake up before 10 am. Have your ID/ passport ready.
