Brasov car rental — FAQ
In Brasov it is wise to book your rental car at least 2 to 4 weeks before arrival, especially for holidays or ski season in nearby Poiana Brasov. Early booking usually secures better rates, more vehicle choice, and automatic transmission options. Last-minute rentals are possible, but prices may spike and popular categories sell out quickly.
Most Brasov providers release the security deposit within 7-14 business days after you return the vehicle in good condition, but your bank may take a bit longer to show the refund. If you choose one of our no-deposit / no-credit-card deals, you generally avoid any large pre-authorisation being blocked on your card altogether.
The excess (deductible) is the maximum amount you must pay if the rental car is damaged or stolen. In Romania it typically ranges from about RON 2,000 to RON 7,000, depending on car class. The insurer or rental company covers costs above this. You can usually reduce or even eliminate the excess by purchasing additional protection.
Most Brasov rental desks still prefer a major credit card for the security deposit. However, some partners allow debit cards or cash when you book special no-deposit / no-credit-card deals. Always check payment rules in the rental conditions, as ID, return travel proof, or extra insurance may still be required.
In Brasov, a small economy car typically starts from about RON 120-170 per day, while larger vehicles, SUVs or automatics can be RON 220-400 or more, depending on season and demand. Prices vary with rental length, insurance options and extras like GPS or child seats, so comparing offers for your exact dates is important.
At Brasov - Airport (GHV), the main on-site rental car providers are Hertz and Avis, offering desks in or near the arrivals area. Their opening hours and fleet availability may vary by season, so it is recommended to reserve online in advance to guarantee the car type and pickup time you need.
Bookingcar lets you compare multiple Brasov suppliers at once, finding low prices on everything from compact city cars to 4x4s for mountain trips. You see clear rental conditions, fuel and mileage rules before paying. Our support team helps with questions in English, and many offers include free amendments or flexible cancellation options.
If you return the car late in Brasov, rental companies usually charge an extra hourly fee, and after a grace period it may become an additional full rental day at the local rate. This can be significantly higher than your original price. If you expect a delay, contact the rental company as soon as possible to adjust your contract.
Central Brasov has paid street parking zones and several convenient car parks, like the Multilevel Parking near Spitalul Militar and the parking at Piata Sfatului area. You usually pay at machines or via mobile app during charging hours. For longer stays, look for guarded lots near Afi Brasov mall or the railway station.
Cross-border travel from Brasov into neighbouring countries is often allowed but never automatic. You must declare your plans when booking so the rental company can authorise it and issue documents like the green card. Extra insurance and a cross-border fee may apply, and some destinations or vehicle categories can be restricted.
Standard speed limits for cars in Romania (unless signed otherwise) are:
In built-up areas: 50 km/h (sometimes 30–40 km/h in school or residential zones)
Outside built-up areas (open roads): 90 km/h
Expressways (drumuri expres): usually 100 km/h
Motorways (autostrazi): generally 130 km/h
Always follow local road signs, as limits can be lower due to roadworks, weather or specific local regulations.

"We came to Brașov with the kids and the car made moving around the old town and Poiana very easy. Child seats were fine and staff friendly, but collecting the car took longer than expected as there were only two people at the counter."

"We rented in Brașov for a weekend as a couple and really liked the nearly new car and clear explanations at pickup. Driving to Bran and Râșnov was smooth, but returning the car took a bit too long because of a short queue and only one agent on duty."
