The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Cluj-Napoca are: Toyota Landcruiser, Toyota Fortuner, Daihatsu Terios, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Tuscon, Toyota 4Runner and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Romania ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Romania are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
In the period starting from the beginning of November until the end of March drivers are obliged to use winter tires. If you break that rule, you are likely to get a fine that will range from 600 to 1000 euro (the amount of the fine depends on the size of the car).
The use of studded tires is strictly prohibited in the country. If you need to ride on roads covered with ice or snow, it is possible to equip the vehicle with snow chains, but you cannot use them on ordinary roads.
Starting from 2006, it has become mandatory to use low beams on local roads. Drivers are allowed to use anti-fog lights only when weather conditions are bad, otherwise the offender will be fined.
