Documents to rent a car in Romania: here is exactly what papers you need to hit the road fast, with no bureaucracy.
The good news: to rent a car in Romania you need very few documents. Here is the full list and the conditions asked by most serious companies, including us.
Documents to rent a car in Romania: what you need
- ID card or passport: for identification and the contract.
- Valid driving licence: category B, held for at least one year for most cars.
That is all. You do not need certificates, property guarantees or paperwork files. The contract is signed at handover and you receive a copy.
Conditions for foreign drivers
Licences issued in the European Union are valid directly. For licences from outside the EU, we recommend an international driving permit alongside the national one. Our contracts are available in Romanian and English.
Age and licence seniority
The general rule on the market: minimum 21 years old and one year since obtaining the licence. For premium cars, conditions can be slightly stricter. Ask us when you send the request and we tell you exactly the conditions for the car you chose.
The deposit
Most rentals hold a refundable deposit that depends on the car class. You find out the exact amount before you confirm the booking, with no surprises at handover. We do not use bait prices with inflated deposits.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rent with a licence held for less than a year?
For some economy cars it can be discussed. Write to us and we find the right option.
Do I need a bank card?
Payment and deposit methods are set at booking. We explain everything before the contract.
Can other people drive the car too?
Yes, additional drivers are added to the contract at handover, with the same licence conditions.
