Car Hire Agencies
Requirements to hire a vehicle
To hire a car in Romania, you will generally need to meet the following standard requirements, although these may vary slightly depending on each company’s policy:
- Minimum age: Most agencies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Drivers under 25 are usually subject to an additional “young driver” fee.
- Driving licence: You must present a valid driving licence held for at least one year. If your licence is not issued by a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area, you will most likely need an International Driving Permit together with your national licence.
- Identification: Original passport or valid national identity document.
- Credit card: A credit card (Visa or Mastercard are usually the most widely accepted) in the name of the main driver is required to place the security deposit hold.
