Top tips for renting a car in Romania

  • One of the best reasons to rent a car in Romania is that this country offers a number of great destinations outside of major cities. For example, a very popular destination that is an amazing piece of architecture an offers lush and beautiful ground is Castelul Corvinilor, that sits in the western part of the country, well away from any large city. Another great destination in the northern part of the country near the border with Ukraine is Merry Cemetery, that is much easier to access with a rental car.
  • If you plan on staying on the major roads in Romania and visiting some of the main tourist attractions, you will generally find good driving conditions and well-maintained roads. One thing to keep in mind is that when you get off of the main roads, you may find unpaved roads that also might lack any marked lane lines. Another important thing to remember about driving in Romania is that traffic can be very heavy on weekends, especially on roads that link the major cities. It is also not uncommon to come across horse-drawn carts or even large flocks of animals when driving outside of major cities, so take care in these areas.
  • Parents that are bringing children with them to Romania and renting a car should know that this country does have a national seat belt law. In Romania, all children 15 months and younger need to travel in a rear-facing car seat, and then up to four years old need to travel in a forward-facing car seat. Children up to six years old need to travel in a booster seat, and then up to 12 years old need to travel on a booster cushion. Children can ride in the front seat of a vehicle so long as the proper child restraint is utilized and airbags are deactivated.
  • There are several countries that surround Romania where passengers may plan to drive rental cars. One thing to keep in mind is that most rental car companies require drivers have permission to take their cars into other countries before doing so. Most border crossings will incur a surcharge anywhere from 50 to 150 EUR (51 to 155 USD). Some rental car companies also may have a list of approved countries where you can drive your rental car.
