Hiring a car in Romania
To hire a car in Romania you must be a minimum age of 21 and you'll also need to have had your licence for a minimum of 12 months. Most car hire providers in Romania will also require a valid credit card in the name of the main driver. This will be used for the security deposit to ensure safe return of the car. Check out our extensive Romania Travel Guide!
Driving in Romania
Romania has over 200,000km of roads to explore but you need to be careful. Little more than 30% of these roads are paved so you do risk damaging your hire car and lots of car hire insurance policies will not pay out if the car has been taken off-road. Other than this, Romania has a small car population with just fewer than four million cars on the roads.
This is one of the only countries remaining in Europe where farmers are most likely to transport their goods via horse-drawn wagon. Old-fashioned market stalls are often more popular in towns and cities than shopping malls. Check out our Romania Driving Guide!
