Good to know

  • Age requirements for rentals can vary by company and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some providers in Romania may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

  • Kids coming with you? Child car seat laws vary according to the location, and the correct setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Find out if you need to add one to your Oradea car hire reservation.

  • Come prepared and save time at pick-up. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no screenshots) and a second photo ID. Also keep a credit card handy to cover the required excess. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.

  • Driving in Romania may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stick to the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits can vary, but it's typically around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways. Always go with what's posted on the road signs.

  • Romania has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to drinking and driving. Leave the car behind and arrange another way to travel if your plans involve alcohol.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother trip. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The Romanian Leu (RON) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with a card when it's possible, but have some cash handy for places that don't accept electronic payment.
