Good to know
Age requirements for rentals can vary by provider (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Romania may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
If the kids are coming with you, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Oradea car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to travel.
You'll need to bring a few things when picking up your rental car: a current driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.
Get familiar with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Romania.
Local speed limits may vary, but it's typically around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways. Always obey the road signs.
Avoid getting behind the wheel if your plans involve alcohol. Romania has a zero-tolerance policy on drinking and driving, and fines may apply if you break the rules.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.
The Romanian Leu (RON) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and activities. Use cards when it's convenient, and keep a little cash for places that don't accept electronic payment.
Romanian is the language spoken in most parts of the country.
