Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Constanta.
Before leaving the parking garage in Constanta, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Popular questions on rental process
"Vignette" is an ordinary check, and the driver should always keep it. You can purchase the vignette at customs, as well as at Rompetrol, OMV and MOL petrol stations. If previously the "vignette" needed to be attached to the windshield, today its presence is checked automatically. The cameras, installed on roads of the country, simply compare the numbers of cars passing by with the purchased vignettes. If there is no record about your car, you will be issued a fine. The fine for using national roads without the “vignette” is from 60 to 120 euro.
Foreign drivers, who plan to make a ride to Romania on a personal car, should not forget to have two warning triangles, a reflective vest, a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher in the car. People, who plan to pass the customs in winter, are recommended to purchase snow chains.
Drivers should never forget about speed limits and remember that the maximum allowed speed in residential areas is 20 km/h. In general, it is allowed to drive at a speed of 50 km/h in towns, and on country roads the maximum permitted speed is 90 km/h.
