What Should I Do If I Have an Accident in a Rental Car in Romania?
First, ensure everyone's safety and call emergency services (112) immediately. Do not move the car. If possible, document the scene with photos and exchange information with the other driver. Fill out the amicable accident report form if applicable. Most importantly, contact your car rental provider from CRA Airport as soon as it is safe to do so for further instructions.

What Should I Know About Refueling a Rental Car for the First Time in Romania?
First, verify the correct fuel type—'benzină' for gasoline or 'motorină' for diesel—on the rental agreement or fuel cap. Most gas stations are self-service; you pump first and then pay inside at the cashier. Major credit cards are widely accepted. Remember to keep the receipt for the rental agency as proof of refueling, especially if you have a 'full-to-full' policy.

Craiova Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and car rental FAQ for exploring Craiova and southern Romania by car

Can I drive in Romania with my US license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
You'll need both your US license AND an International Driving Permit (IDP). Romanian law requires an IDP for non-EU visitors, and rental companies almost always demand it. Get your IDP before departure from AAA or similar. Without it, you risk being turned away at the rental counter or facing fines of 500-2,000 RON (~$110-440) if stopped by police. Cost: ~$20 for the IDP.
How do I pay highway tolls in Romania? Is renting an electronic toll tag worth it?
Romania uses the Rovinieta electronic toll system—you can't pay cash at tollbooths. If you're driving on A1, A2, or A3 highways, you must buy a vignette (7-day: ~35 RON/~$8, 30-day: ~130 RON/~$28). Most rental cars have the vignette already; check with your provider. If yours doesn't, buy one at gas stations or border crossings. Skipping it earns fines starting at 250 EUR.
I'm 23—will I pay a young driver surcharge, and how much?
Yes, expect to pay a 'young driver' fee if you're under 25. Most Romanian rental companies charge 50-100 RON (~$12-25) per rental day for drivers aged 21-24. At 23, you'd likely pay the higher end. Budget an extra 300-700 RON (~$65-155) for a week-long rental. Some companies waive the fee for drivers 24+ with 1+ year of experience—confirm before booking.
What's the speed limit, and how strict are speed cameras in Romania?
Speed limits: 50 km/h (31 mph) in cities, 100 km/h (62 mph) on national roads, 130 km/h (81 mph) on highways. Romania has widespread speed cameras—fixed and mobile. Fines range from 290 RON (~$65) for 10-20 km/h over to 1,310 RON (~$290) for 50+ km/h over, and you may be required to pay on the spot. In Craiova area, expect camera zones on DN6 and DN65 roads—stick to limits, especially near towns.
Do I need winter tires or snow chains in the Craiova region?
Not mandatory in Craiova itself (elevation ~100m), but strongly recommended from November-March and if venturing into the Carpathian Mountains nearby. Mountain passes like the one toward Transylvania can see heavy snow. Romanian law requires winter tires when snow/ice is present—rentals often offer them for 30-50 RON/day. Snow chains are mandatory on certain mountain routes; rental companies usually provide them or you can buy a set for ~150 RON (~$33) at gas stations.
What fuel type should I use, and is diesel common in Romania?
Both gasoline (benzina) and diesel (motorina) are widely available. Diesel is typically 6.5-7.5 RON/liter (~$1.40-1.65)—about 20-30% cheaper than gasoline. Most Romanian rental cars run on diesel, especially manual transmission vehicles. Unleaded 95 and 98 are also available. Fill up at larger gas chains (OMV, Petrom, Rompetrol) rather than small independent stations, especially in rural areas. Note: return the car with the same fuel level as pickup to avoid refueling charges.
