Bucharest Baneasa Airport car rentals

Most visitors can use their regular license. If your license isn't in English, you may need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Rental companies also check identification that matches your booking.

Driving is simple on larger routes, though traffic often slows around major squares. Navigation apps help you avoid traffic and guide you to parks, shopping areas, and nearby districts.

The city itself has no tolls or emissions zones. Toll roads in the wider region are clearly signed on long-distance routes, and most visitors only encounter them when traveling between major cities.

Street parking fills quickly on busy days. Multi-story parking garages provide reliable access to shops, offices, and restaurants. Always check signposts for time limits, payment hours, and local fees.

Gas stations are located on major routes, and EV charging stations in Bucharest are increasing. Chargers are common near retail centers and offices. Apps like PlugShare help you check availability before longer journeys.

Expect busy intersections during peak hours. Keep speeds steady, use early signals, and watch for pedestrians crossing between cars, especially near markets and transport hubs.
