Driving information Romania

General Information

Romania is a diverse country where you will find a variety of destinations. Drive along the Black Sea coast and visit the oldest town in Romania, Constanta. The city was founded already around 600 BC. The motorway A2 will then take you west to the capital of Bucharest. Be careful while driving off the motorways in Romania. Many roads are in bad condition and the driving style of many motorists might surprise you.

For drivers under the age of 25 an additional young driver surcharge may apply locally. The maximum rental age is 70 years. Child seats are not mandatory but we strongly recommend that you use one.

Take it easy and keep the distance. Romania has a zero policy for drinking and driving.

Petrol
Petrol stations can be found in the outskirts, while exiting a town.

Tolls
In Romania there are two tolls. One toll for traveling from Giurgiu into Bulgaria and one to cross the Danube River. To be able to travel on the national roads you also have to have a toll sticker (vignette). This might be included from the local supplier. Please ask when you pick up your rental car.
