Documents you'll need
You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Bucharest.
Most visitors can use their regular licence. If your licence isn’t in English, you may need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Rental companies also check identification that matches your booking.
Navigating city driving

Driving is simple on larger routes, though traffic often slows around major squares. Navigation apps help you avoid congestion and guide you to parks, shopping areas and nearby districts.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
