Bucharest Guide

Guide

Bucharest, like so many other cities in Eastern Europe, took a beating during WWII and the Soviet Times. Once known as the ‘Paris of the East’, this city, still retains some of its Old World flavour, despite being ‘frozen in time’ for the past 60 years. Car hire in Bucharest is the most convenient way to get around the city and its outer areas, and is suggested by many visitors. Book today with us to a secure a car at a fantastic price.

Explore Bucharest

During the 1980's, Nikolai Ceausescu, Romania’s brutal dictator, decreed that the biggest building in the world would be constructed in Bucharest. Although it fell short of its goal, (the Pentagon is bigger), the enormous Palace of Parliament offers daily tours of its 3,100 room interior, as well as its ornate exterior.

In central Bucharest contained within the Old Court Church which is dated back to the 16th century, are well preserved frescos. Nearby is the George Enescu Museum displaying the musician’s manuscripts and personal belongings. For a bit of the macabre, in the western part of the city is the Ghencea Civil Cemetery which contains the ornate final resting place of the Ceausescu family.

For entertainment, the city offers many bars, nightclubs, theatres, arts and cinemas. Both the center and the Gara de Nord train station area contain numerous options for accommodation and dining.

Travel out of Bucharest city and you will reach the beautiful Fagaras Mountains. A branch of the legendary Carpathians, they contain numerous mountain lakes and for the hikers, spectacular trails. And what trip to Romania is complete without a journey to Dracula’s Castle. Poienari Castle, just over the border in Wallachia, is regarded as the one time dwelling of the mysterious Vlad Tepes, the real man behind the story of Dracula.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).
