Whether for work or pleasure, chances are that you are flying into Bucharest Otopeni International Airport (OTP). The airport is centrally located and well-connected by public transport and motorways. Using the A0 Beltway around Bucharest you can explore the city and the A1 and A2 allows you to explore the area around the city or travel to the rest of the country. For this we definitely recommend car hire at Bucharest Otopeni Intl Airport, so you have extra flexibility to explore any area you want.
We recommend that you rent a car from a company that is based at the airport, which is faster and more efficient, especially if you are in a hurry, or you have a lot of luggage. It also has an added advantage in that you have other service providers in the same location should you have a problem with your original rental booking. This prevents you from being stranded somewhere else trying to find a replacement car.
Keep in mind two important things: if your driver’s licence text is not in the Roman alphabet, you need to have an International Driving Permit. Likewise, if you are renting with a non-EU issued licence, you also need the same. Most companies you can use at the airport require extra insurance if you are a driver under 25 years of age, and they also request that you have had a licence for a minimum of one year. Don't worry, when you make your booking on KAYAK and you indicate your age, all the insurance is already included in your quote, so there are no surprises when you arrive to pick up your car.
If you are travelling on a budget, or have some extra time to spare, you can also book a car through a company that provides car delivery and handover at the airport parking. You can also make use of free shuttle services to rental agencies five to 10min away from the airport. Of course, you can also book a car through KAYAK at another location you need, and specify a different drop off point, if you are arriving and departing from different locations.

Huge difference between published prices and final cost. Manager is very unprofessional and rude. Employees are overworked. There is no policy for early returns refund even partial. Poor management and expensive, much better options out there, they have no interest in customer fidelity. I will never rent from them again.

I didn’t even get the car, the rental company was trying to get me to pay more money for a made up thing, basically asking for bribes to give the car to me. I kept saying no and they kept lowering the price of the bribe money, until i just walked out and never got the car. Very eastern block experience

Nobody tell us that we have to take 220€ of full insurance apart. I can understand that a car insurance is needed, but the price kayak is selling is hiding the truth and 220€ for 4 days is much expensive

Dean, Oct 2022

Pricing given online ($24 for 3 days) did not include a daily additional charge of $25 per day, which was not stated at the booking point. After booking we were sent details on international drivers permit requirements, that stated all US citizens or non-latin passport holders must have an IDP, implying australians did not. We were then required to pay an additional $200 for 3 days insurance due to not having the IDP In short, the pricing was misguiding and the information provided on license requirements were poor.

This company operates like a shark. They trick the customer advertising good prices on the various booking websites but when you pick up the car they add a ridiculous 3rd party liability insurance. On top of that, they charged me an arm and a leg (400 euro) for a small scratch on one of the rims. For your own good avoid working with them.

Pros:

the staff I dealt with was ok, the policy and the manager are terrible

Cons:

I booked medium size, the manager called and offered a Dacia, which was out of the question, ad on Kayak says opel astra or similar. They offered a 20 euro full insurance over the phone, when I got there it was for 35 euro. You can pick up in town, their office is in a school, weird. Worst of all they charged me an extra 17 euro for me dropping off the car Sunday as "surcharge for dropping out of regular office hours".

Shame on Kayak that is dealing with fraud companies like Nextcar. I’m disputing the payment because the company doesn’t exist in Bucharest. We went all the way to the office and there’s no furniture, no people, just an empty office and people from next door telling us that the police has been many time here looking for someone from Nextcar. This is a scam!
