Question 1

Can I rent a car in Bucharest for a month?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can rent a car for a month in Bucharest. Many car hire companies offer long-term car hire options. It’s often more cost-effective to book a monthly car hire rather than several weekly rentals. For the best rates and availability, start a search on VoyageCopilot.com to compare offers and find the most suitable long-term car hire deals.

Question 2

What should I do if I damage a car hire car in Bucharest?

Accepted Answer

If you damage a hire car in Bucharest, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) typically covers the cost of repairs. To avoid additional expenses, make sure your insurance policy includes zero excess coverage. If your CDW has an excess limit, you'll be responsible for paying part of the repair costs, which is usually deducted from the deposit you provided when renting the car. For specific details on coverage and potential charges, it's best to check your rental agreement and insurance policy before you drive.

Question 3

How much does car hire insurance cost in Bucharest?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 5

While some locations may accept debit cards, they often require additional documentation or a credit check. For a hassle-free hire experience, it's advisable to use a major credit card like Visa, MasterCard, or Discover.

Question 7

Is renting a car for a week in Bucharest more cost-effective?

Accepted Answer

Renting a car for a week in Bucharest can sometimes be more cost-effective than renting for a shorter period, as many car hire companies offer weekly rates that provide better value.
