Car hire in Sibiu is useful for visiting the villages of Mărginimea Sibiului and heading towards Păltiniș. Keep the car for journeys beyond the old town and plan a parking stop when you want to explore Sibiu’s historic squares on foot.
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 Sibiu
Sibiu International Airport (SBZ) is the airport location to consider when flying in. Compare offers for your dates and check whether the supplier’s office is in the airport area or requires a transfer specified in the booking.
If arriving by train or collecting later, compare any available city offices with the railway station, old town and Șoseaua Alba Iulia corridor towards the airport. These areas help you plan the transfer rather than confirming desks at each location. Ask an old-town accommodation provider about vehicle access and where to unload luggage.
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 makes urban parking easier, while an estate can provide useful luggage space for a family itinerary. For a winter drive towards Păltiniș, review the equipment offered and current road conditions before choosing the car.
Driving and parking in Sibiu
Parking in and around central Sibiu is divided into zones. Identify a permitted space before visiting Piața Mare and Piața Mică, observing one-way streets and pedestrian access. Check the instructions at the specific car park, as on-street spaces and controlled-entry facilities can work differently.
Where to drive from the city
Rășinari and the villages of Mărginimea Sibiului offer stops outside the city; Păltiniș adds a mountain leg. Adapt the route to the season and check conditions before setting off uphill. If continuing to another Transylvanian city, check mileage allowances and whether a different return location is available under your booking.
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.
