What Should I Do If I Have an Accident in a Rental Car in Romania?
Immediately ensure everyone's safety, then call emergency services (112) and the police. Document the scene thoroughly with photos and exchange information.

What Should I Know About Refueling My Rental Car in Romania After Picking It Up From Cluj-Napoca Airport (CLJ)?

Major gas stations like OMV, Petrom, and Rompetrol accept cards and are often full-service, where an attendant will help you. Most rental agreements require a full-to-full policy, so return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. Keep your final fuel receipt as proof.

Cluj Napoca Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental FAQs for exploring Transylvania's vibrant capital and beyond

Can I drive in Romania with my US license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
You'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your valid US driver's license. Romanian law requires an IDP for all non-EU license holders. The IDP is a translation document—not a replacement for your license—and costs about $20 through AAA. Rental companies will refuse to hand over keys without one, so get it before you arrive.
How do I pay for highway tolls in Romania? Do I need a separate device?
Romania uses an electronic vignette system called 'rovinieta'—there's no toll booth collection. Before hitting highways, buy a digital vignette online or at gas stations (7-day: ~€3, 30-day: ~€7). Stickers on the windshield are being phased out. If you skip it, expect fines of €130-€300. Many rental companies include a pre-purchased vignette—confirm this at pickup.
I'm 22. Will I pay a young driver surcharge, and how much?
Yes, drivers under 25 typically pay a young driver surcharge of €10-€25 per day in Romania. Some agencies cap it at €150-€200 for the rental period. If you're 23-25, you're still in the surcharge zone. Budget accordingly—this fee is often buried in fine print, so ask upfront before booking.
Do I need winter tires or snow chains in Cluj Napoca during December-March?
Winter tires are legally required on snow-covered roads from November to March, with fines of €80-€120 for non-compliance. While major highways like A3 are usually cleared quickly, rural Transylvanian roads can remain icy for days after snowfall. Most rental companies offer winter tires for €5-€15/day—skipping them is a false economy. Snow chains are less common on standard rentals but required on mountain passes.
What fuel type do I need, and will I find gas stations easily?
Diesel (motorina) is the dominant fuel in Romania and significantly cheaper than in the US (~$1.20-1.50/liter). Gasoline (benzina) is also available but pricier. Nearly all rentals are diesel, so confirm before pumping. Gas stations are plentiful on highways and in towns, but avoid running near empty in rural areas—some regions have sparse coverage. Fill up before mountain drives.
Is parking in Cluj Napoca city center a nightmare? How does it work?
Yes—downtown parking is genuinely difficult and expensive. Street parking costs 2-5 lei/hour (~€0.40-1), monitored by mobile payment apps (SMS or parking zone apps). Many lots charge 10-25 lei/hour. Your rental car's location matters: look for 'P' signs and avoid blocking residential driveways. If you're staying overnight near Unirii Square or Central Park, book a lot in advance rather than circling for spots.
