Car Rental in Romania

Прокатники

Romania's car rental market features a mix of well-known international brands like Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise, alongside a strong presence of local agencies. Local companies often provide competitive pricing and more personalized service, sometimes with older but well-maintained fleets. Aggregators like RentoRika allow you to compare offers from both international and local providers, streamlining the booking process and helping you find the best value for your trip.

Які документи потрібні

To rent a car in Romania, you will generally need a valid driver's license from your home country, held for at least one year. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is highly recommended, and sometimes required, especially if your license is not in Latin script. You'll also need your passport or national ID card and a credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit. The minimum age for rental is typically 21, though some companies may charge a young driver surcharge for those under 25.

Оплата та депозит

Most rental companies in Romania require a credit card in the main driver's name for both the booking and the security deposit. While some local agencies might accept debit cards for payment, a credit card is almost universally needed for the deposit. Cash payments for the rental fee are rare, and cash deposits are generally not accepted. Deposit-free options are uncommon and usually involve purchasing premium insurance packages directly from the rental provider.

Скільки коштує оренда

Car rental prices in Romania vary significantly by season, car type, and booking lead time. Expect daily rates to range from approximately 15 EUR to 50 EUR. The cheapest prices are usually found in the shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) and during the winter, excluding holidays. Peak summer months (July and August) and major holidays like Easter and Christmas see the highest demand and prices, which can be 30-50% higher than the annual average.

ПДР і штрафи

In Romania, you drive on the right-hand side of the road. Seatbelts are mandatory for all occupants. Headlights must be on at all times, even during the day. Speed limits are typically 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on national roads, and 130 km/h on motorways (autostrăzi). Zero tolerance for alcohol while driving is strictly enforced. Vignettes are required for driving on national roads and motorways; rental cars usually have this included, but it's wise to confirm. Fines for violations can be substantial.

Парковки

Parking in Romanian cities can be challenging, especially in older town centers. Paid street parking is common, often managed by automated machines or mobile apps. Look for 'Parcare cu plată' signs. Parking garages are available in larger cities. Free parking can be found on the outskirts or in residential areas, but always check signs carefully to avoid fines or towing. In rural areas, parking is generally easier to find and often free.

Заправки

Fuel stations are widely available across Romania, especially along main roads and in towns. Both petrol (benzină) and diesel (motorină) are standard. LPG (GPL) is also available at many stations. Fuel prices are comparable to other EU countries, fluctuating but generally around 1.60-1.80 EUR per liter for petrol in 2026. Most stations accept credit cards, but having some cash is advisable for smaller, more rural stations.

Яке авто обрати

For city driving and most well-maintained national roads, a compact or economy car is sufficient and easier to park. If you plan to explore rural Transylvania, navigate unpaved roads, or travel with a lot of luggage, a mid-size sedan or an SUV would offer more comfort and ground clearance. For winter travel, especially in mountainous regions, ensure your rental comes with winter tires, which are legally required from November to March.
