Book a rental car in Bucharest Downtown
Renting a car in Bucharest Downtown is ideal if you are already staying in the city. Because traveling all the way back to the airport or train station just to pick up your rental wastes your 1-2 hours and transit costs.
Many travelers like to explore the attractions in the downtown area first and then rent a car for their further plans. It can even be a great starting point for a road trip into Transylvania. The Brasov region is ~140 to 175 km (87 to 108 miles) away, which takes ~2 to 3 hours by car.
The famous Prahova Valley’s entrance (e.g., Comarnic or Sinaia) is also ~120 km to 130 km (75-80 miles) away from downtown Bucharest, which takes around 1.5 to 2 hours.
Moreover, you get direct highway access to major northbound routes like the DN1/A3 exit straight out of northern and central Bucharest, allowing you to start your journey conveniently.
With us, you can choose the deals depending on your budget, security deposit range and car category preferences. Our partner suppliers offer competitive prices with several inclusions, helping you find an option best suited to your needs.
VIP Cars’ tips for renting a car in Bucharest Downtown
-
From July to August, there is a high rental demand in downtown Bucharest due to the summer season. So we recommend booking the vehicle at least 6 to 8 weeks in advance.
-
As Bucharest is the commercial center of Romania, you can also rent luxury cars in downtown Bucharest to attend meetings around the city center.
-
In various areas of the city center, you will notice blue coloured lines. These are the Blue Zone Parking spaces (paid parking spots). Download apps like the AmParcat app and the Parking Bucharest app to pay for parking costs.
-
We strongly advise avoiding parking in unmarked areas or on sidewalks.
-
Always verify with your supplier whether the Rovinieta (National Roads Vignette) is activated on your rental, as it is required to pay tolls digitally when driving outside Bucharest downtown onto national roads or highways.
