Top tips for hiring a car in Romania
If you plan on travelling to small villages and more remote areas of Romania during your trip, then booking car hire in Romania is essential. There is less public transport available if you aren't sticking to the major cities. If you plan on travelling between cities, driving is often faster, and you'll be able to do it at your own pace.
If you're driving in rural areas of Romania, be prepared to share the roads with more than cars. You'll frequently encounter animals, both wildlife and farm animals. In addition, you may find yourself sharing the road with horse-drawn carts. Be prepared for your journey to take a little longer than planned, as you may need to slow down or stop in some areas. Remember, if there are animals on the road, it's always safest to remain in your vehicle and wait for them to move on.
It's quite likely that if you're looking into booking car hire in Romania, you're thinking about travelling to neighbouring countries. Most major Romania car hire companies will allow cross-border hires. There may be an extra fee, and you may need extra paperwork to show at the border. Always let your hire car provider know if you plan on crossing the border. Some countries, such as Croatia and Slovenia, are often not allowed to do this. Additionally, one-way cross-border hires are often significantly more expensive than round-trip bookings.
If you're travelling with children in Romania, remember that children who are under 12, or shorter than 150 cm must use a booster seat or child restraint. They also aren't allowed to travel in the front seat. You can bring your own seat, but they must comply with EU regulations, so it may be easier to add one to your car hire in Romania. Most companies can provide one for an extra fee, and they will often help you fit the seat in the car when you pick it up.
