Riding Differently: Driving in Romania vs Great Britain

Driving in Romania promises a different experience than back in Great Britain. The most important aspect to remember: we drive on the right side of the road! Besides this key difference, here are a few other things you should know:

• Generally, speed limits in Romania are: 50 km/h in built up areas, 90 km/h on main roads, and 130 km/h on motorways.
• Radar detectors are illegal, but GPS-based speed camera warning systems are allowed.
• Using a mobile phone while driving is strictly prohibited, unless you use a hands-free system.

Car Rental at Constanța Airport

Car rental services are conveniently available right at the airport. Companies including Hertz, Avis, and Europcar are onsite, ready to provide you a range of options from economy to luxury classes, depending on your need for speed and room.

Refueling Close to Airport

You'll find a Rompetrol gas station just 4 km drive from the airport. It operates 24/7, even for those late-night or early-morning drive needs.

Accessibility: Getting in and out of the airport

Constanța Airport has excellent connections via E87 and E60 to reach the city center quickly. It is also a short drive away from cities like Tulcea, a gateway to the Danube Delta, and Varna, a seaside resort in Bulgaria.

Currency Insights

In Romania, the local currency is the Lei (RON), and it is advisable to have some on hand for smaller expenses. ATMs are available at the airport and around the city.

Playing with the Weather

Constanța experiences a temperate-continental climate with maritime influences, making it enjoyable throughout most of the year. Do bear in mind that winters can get chilly, so if you plan to visit in the coldest months, you might appreciate a car with a proper heating system!

Let's Talk Routes!

For those keen to explore beyond the city, a few top driving routes include the trip to Mamaia, a resort located just 25 minutes north of Constanța, or to Vama Veche, a seaside commune near the border with Bulgaria, which is popular among youth and free spirits.
