Romania rewards a road trip more than most Eastern European countries on the strength of Transylvania alone — the fortified churches, Bran and Peleș castles, and mountain passes like the Transfăgărășan through the Carpathians are all better experienced with a car than on the regional rail network, which is slower and less direct. The Transfăgărășan and Transalpina routes in particular are genuinely built for driving, with viewpoints and switchbacks that no bus route replicates. Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, and Sibiu airports each serve different parts of the country.
The Transfăgărășan closes seasonally, typically from late October through June depending on snow, so confirm current status if that road is part of your plan. Driving is on the right. Rural roads can mix modern asphalt with older, narrower sections, and horse-drawn carts still share some rural roads in Maramureș and other traditional areas, worth watching for at lower speeds.
Romanian rental prices are generally among the lower end for the region, and it's worth checking whether winter tires are fitted by default if traveling between November and March, since mountain routes can require them even when lowland roads are clear. Deposit and cross-border policies vary by operator — confirm if you're planning to continue into Hungary, Bulgaria, or Moldova.
