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 1-2 years. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is highly recommended, especially if your license is not in English or a Latin alphabet. You'll also need your passport and a credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit. The minimum age for renting is typically 21, though some companies may have a higher age requirement or charge a young driver fee for those under 25.

ПДР і штрафи

In Romania, speed limits are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h outside urban areas, and 130 km/h on motorways. Always watch for local signage as limits can change. The legal alcohol limit for drivers is 0.00%, meaning no alcohol is permitted. Headlights must be on at all times, even during the day. Seatbelts are mandatory for all occupants, and children under 135 cm must use appropriate child seats.

Парковки

In Brasov, parking in the city center is mostly paid. Look for blue signs indicating 'Parcare cu plata' (paid parking) and use the parking meters or mobile apps (like TPark or AmParcat) to pay. Rates vary but are typically a few RON per hour. Free parking can be found further from the center, especially near larger supermarkets or residential areas, but spaces can be limited. Always check signs carefully to avoid fines.

Заправки

Fuel stations are widely available in and around Brasov, offering unleaded petrol (benzina) and diesel (motorina). Prices are comparable to other EU countries, currently around 1.60-1.80 EUR per liter for both types. Most stations accept major credit cards, but it's always wise to have some local currency (RON) for smaller, independent stations or emergencies.

Яке авто обрати

For city driving and most popular tourist routes around Brasov, an economy or compact car is perfectly adequate and easier to park. If you plan to venture into mountainous regions, especially during winter, or explore less-maintained roads, an SUV with higher ground clearance is highly recommended. Manual transmission is more common, but automatics are available, often at a slightly higher price. For winter driving, ensure your rental comes with winter tires (mandatory during cold months) or snow chains if heading to high altitudes.
