Car Rental Romania: FAQs
Is it safe to drive in Romania as a foreign traveler?
Driving in Romania requires extra attention. Main highways and roads between big cities are in good condition, but rural and secondary roads can be narrow, poorly lit, or have unexpected potholes. Romanian drivers tend to be fast and sometimes aggressive, so a defensive driving approach is best. If you're planning a trip through mountain regions or remote areas, renting an SUV with good ground clearance is recommended. Using a GPS or navigation app is essential, as road signs may not always be clear.
Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car in Romania?
It depends on where you’re from. If you're an EU or UK driver, your national driving license is valid. However, if you’re from the USA, Canada, Australia, or any non-EU country, you must have an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your original license. Rental companies will check this before handing over the car, and police officers may ask for it during traffic stops. It's best to get an IDP before arriving in Romania to avoid any issues.
What is the minimum and maximum age to rent a car in Romania?
The minimum age to rent a car in Romania is 21 years, but some rental companies may require drivers to be at least 23 or 25 for certain vehicle categories. If you're under 25, you might have to pay a young driver fee, which increases the daily rental cost. Some companies also set a maximum age limit of 70 for renting cars. Always check the rental company’s specific policies regarding age restrictions before booking.
Are automatic cars available for rent in Romania?
Yes, but they are less common than manual cars. In Romania, most people drive manual transmission vehicles, so rental companies have a limited stock of automatic cars. If you need one, it's best to book early, especially if you're traveling during the high season (May to September). Automatic cars tend to be more expensive than manual ones, so expect to pay a higher rental fee.
What insurance options do I need when renting a car in Romania?
At a minimum, your rental will include third-party liability insurance, which covers damage to others but not your rental car. You can add extra protection, such as: Collision Damage Waiver (CDW): Covers damage to your rental car but usually comes with a deductible. Theft Protection: Protects against car theft, but valuables inside the car are not covered. Full Insurance: Covers almost everything, including damages and theft, with no or minimal deductible. If you have a credit card that includes rental car insurance, check the details to avoid paying for duplicate coverage.
What are the fuel policies for rental cars in Romania?
Romanian rental companies usually offer one of these fuel policies: Full-to-full: You get the car with a full tank and must return it the same way. This is the most cost-effective option. Prepaid fuel: You pay for a full tank at pickup and can return the car empty. However, no refunds are given for unused fuel. Always check the fuel type (diesel or petrol) before refueling, as using the wrong fuel can lead to expensive repair costs.
How do toll roads work in Romania?
Romania has a digital toll system called Rovinieta, required for all vehicles driving outside city limits. When you rent a car, the rental company usually includes the Rovinieta in the price, but always confirm this before driving. If it's not included, you must buy one at a gas station or online before driving on national roads. Not having a valid Rovinieta can result in heavy fines.
What should I do if I get into an accident with my rental car?
If you're involved in an accident, follow these steps: Stay calm and check for injuries. Call 112 for emergency services if needed. Do not move the car unless it's causing a major roadblock. Call the rental company immediately and inform them about the situation. Wait for the police—even for minor accidents, a police report is required for insurance claims. Take photos of the damage and location for documentation. Get a copy of the police report, as the rental company will need it to process insurance claims.
Are there hidden fees when renting a car in Romania?
Some rental companies advertise low prices but add extra fees at checkout. Be aware of: One-way rental fees: If you return the car to a different city. Out-of-hours fees: For late-night or early-morning pickups/drop-offs. Cross-border fees: If you plan to drive to Bulgaria, Hungary, or Serbia. Additional driver fees: If more than one person will drive the car. Cleaning fees: If the car is returned excessively dirty. To avoid surprises, always ask for a full breakdown of charges before finalizing your rental.
Can I rent a car in Romania and drive to other countries?
Yes, but you must inform the rental company in advance. Some companies allow cross-border travel to Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, and other EU countries, but they may charge an additional fee. Some luxury or high-end cars cannot be taken across borders. Always check the rental agreement to avoid penalties.
Where are the best places to rent a car in Romania?
The best locations to rent a car in Romania are: Bucharest (Henri Coandă Airport): The largest airport and most convenient place to rent a car. Cluj-Napoca Airport: Perfect for exploring Transylvania and nearby mountains. Timișoara Airport: A good starting point for road trips in western Romania. Brașov and Sibiu: Ideal for travelers exploring medieval towns and castles. Renting from airports usually offers the widest selection of cars, but city locations sometimes have better prices.
When is the best time to rent a car in Romania?
The best time depends on your trip plans: Low season (November–March): Cheaper rental rates, but winter driving conditions can be challenging. Mid-season (April–May, September–October): Pleasant weather, lower rental prices, and fewer tourists. High season (June–August): Best for road trips, but rental prices are highest due to demand. If you're traveling during summer or major holidays, book at least two weeks in advance to secure the best deals and vehicle options.
