Detailed FAQ on the rental process
In Romania, you can use radar detectors. There are no penalties about them in the country. However, drivers should not forget that many police cars are equipped with modern laser radar equipment, so not all radar detectors can identify them. The use of anti-radar equipment is prohibited, and the offender is likely to receive a huge fine. Of course, the prohibited device will be immediately confiscated.
Speeding remains the most frequently issued fine. Police patrols are often on duty in very secluded areas along roadsides, so it is almost impossible to notice them. If you’ve got a fine, it is recommended to pay it off within first two days because, in this case, you can count on a 50% discount.
Romania is famous for high-quality fuel. Local petrol stations usually sell unleaded petrol (95 and 98), as well as diesel fuel. The cost of fuel is quite high and is approximately 1.5 euro per liter, but high price is compensated by good quality.
