A hire car in Brașov is useful for outings to Poiana Brașov, Râșnov and Bran while keeping a city base. Choose collection around your arrival and accommodation, and plan to leave the car parked for walks through the historic centre.
Compare and book with Rent.it
Search Rent.it using your preferred collection and return locations, dates and times. Compare the total price alongside mileage, fuel policy and included services. Rent.it is a broker; the rental company named in your booking supplies the vehicle. Read the car details and rental terms before making your choice.
Choosing a pick-up location in Brașov
Brașov-Ghimbav Airport (GHV) is in Ghimbav, outside central Brașov. If flying in, search the correct airport location and check availability for your dates, the office address and any meeting or transfer arrangements.
For rail arrivals or collection during your stay, compare available urban offices with the station area, old town and Bartolomeu. These help you assess the journey but do not guarantee collection points. If staying in the historic centre, ask your accommodation where vehicle access and luggage unloading are permitted.
Driving documents, payment cards and deposit
Have your valid driving licence, identification or passport and booking voucher ready. Check age and licence-holding requirements, including whether an international driving permit is needed. For the deposit, confirm the accepted card type and network, the requirement for a card in the main driver’s name and sufficient available funds. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted with every offer. Deposits, excesses, cover and extra charges depend on the supplier, location, vehicle and rate.
Choosing the right hire car
A compact can suit normal roads and city parking. Choose more luggage space for a family or mountain equipment. For cold-weather travel, check the winter equipment supplied and any extras; neither an SUV badge nor four-wheel drive confirms what is included.
Driving and parking in Brașov
Plan to explore the Piața Sfatului area on foot and leave the car outside pedestrian access points. Check whether a space is public, private or reserved for residents. Before driving up to Poiana Brașov, review the weather, road conditions and parking arrangements at your destination.
Where to drive from the city
Râșnov and Bran can be combined in an itinerary, while Poiana Brașov can be planned around a separate day’s activities. Check which parts of attractions are open, as restoration work may restrict access. Leave a comfortable buffer between a mountain outing and the agreed vehicle return time.
Planning your return
Use the return address and instructions on your voucher, and allow time to refuel and check the vehicle. A different drop-off office or an out-of-hours return must be available under your booking terms; check any additional charges before reserving.
