KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Arad

  • Using a car hire in Arad gives you the most convenient and unparalleled travel experience. With no time limitations, you can travel and explore anywhere in Arad. Getting around the city, and its surroundings, when driving a hire car is faster than public transportation. Take your time and travel to major attractions, such as Malul Muresului and Balla Geza Winery. You can also use your car hire to visit other cities, such as Timisoara, 49 km (30 miles) away, Debrecen, 152 km (94 miles) always, and Oradea, 109 km (67 miles) away.
  • Arad International Airport (ARW) is conveniently located about 5 km (2 miles) from Romania’s capital, Arad. Therefore, getting to the city centre with various transportation means is easy. However, Arad car hire agencies are providing various car options for you to choose from. You can choose from the many companies available, including Sixt, Goldcar, Autonome, Flex, Flexicar, and Wheego, located opposite the International Arrival Gate. You can get to the car hire offices using free shuttle services from the airport terminal.
  • Driving in Arad can be hectic because of the city noise, aggressive drivers, and excessive horn use. Though the law prohibits drivers from such behaviour, many drivers disregard this, so using your car hire in Arad could be hectic. Though jaywalking is illegal in the city, pedestrians are allowed to cross on the corner of the street if no crossings are present nearby. Therefore, avoid road distractions to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
  • Using a car hire in Arad is easy considering that it is a small city compared to others in Romania. The traffic flow is mostly smooth and has low congestion levels. However, main roads and city centres may experience traffic jams during morning and evening rush hour, when people travel to and from work. This is typically between 07:30 to 09:00 and 16:30 to 18:00. We advise planning your routes and trips using a mobile app, to avoid traffic jams that may inconvenience you.
