Good to know
Home age requirements aren't always the same everywhere. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you might run into extra costs or rules. Check the rules for the supplier you choose before booking your home in Romania.
Planning a trip with the kids? Child car seat laws vary from one location to another, and the right setup may depend on their age, weight and height. Find out if you need to add one to your Braşov car hire reservation.
You'll need to hand over a few things when picking up your rental car: a current driver's license, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds for the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any other requirements will be listed in your booking.
If you haven't driven before in Romania, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Keep within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
Romania has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to drinking and driving. Keep the car parked and arrange another way to travel if you plan to consume alcohol.
Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother trip. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the Romanian Leu (RON) on your trip here. Along with your bank cards, consider taking some cash for smaller purchases.
