Driving Tips for Romania
Feel confident in the driver's seat of your car rental in Romania with these driving tips:
- Mountain Roads: Some of the most scenic roads in the world are in Romania’s Carpathian Mountains. Take the turns slowly, and be mindful of oncoming traffic. If you’re traveling between October and June, some roads may be closed due to snowy or icy conditions.
- Speed Limits: In built-up areas, the speed limit is usually 50 km/h (31 mph); however, it increases to 110 km/h (68 mph) outside the cities, and the national speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph).
- Roundabouts: When entering a roundabout, give way to vehicles coming from the right. Remember that vehicles already in the roundabout have priority.
- Driving Culture: Make sure you drive defensively and avoid hesitating or appearing indecisive on the road. This is especially true at uncontrolled intersections.
- Winter Driving: If you’re visiting during the winter months, choose a car outfitted with winter tires or be prepared to put on tire chains.
Best places to visit in Romania
Experience the freedom to explore when you rent a car in Romania:
- Sighișoara: Known as one of the most haunted cities in the world, Sighișoara is the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration behind Dracula. However, it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage site with parking near the tourist information center on Octavian Goga Street.
- Bâlea Lake: Accessible via the Transfăgărășan in your SIXT rental car, Bâlea Lake offers mountain views at 6,673 feet. In the winter you can stay at a hotel made of ice with igloos, fur throws, bars, and a restaurant.
- Corvin Castle: Less visited than Bran Castle, Corvin Castle is one of the largest in Europe and is often compared to Hogwarts. Find paid parking a five-minute walk from the castle and try visiting before 10:00 am to avoid the crowds.
