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
You will need to pay in order to drive on certain roads. In most cases, enters to such roads are equipped with large blue boards with the «RO-VINIETA» mark. In order to get the right to use paid national roads, you must purchase the "vignette". You can buy it for a week, a month, for three months or for a year. The cost in this case will be 3, 7, 15 and 30 euro respectively.
"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.
