Car Rentals in Brașov – Essential Driver’s Guide

If you need a rental car in Brașov, it’s good to know a few key aspects about traffic, parking, and local rules to ensure a smooth experience.

Traffic – How Congested Is Brașov?

Brașov is a tourist city, meaning that traffic can vary greatly depending on the season. On weekends and during holiday periods (December, July-August), the city becomes very crowded, especially in the Old Town, Poiana Brașov, and Drumul Poienii areas. On weekdays, rush hours are between 07:30-09:30 and 16:30-18:30, with frequent congestion on Calea București, Bulevardul 15 Noiembrie, and Strada Lungă.

To avoid traffic, you can use Brașov’s ring road (Ocolitoarea DN1) to cross the city faster or exit towards Prahova Valley or Sibiu.

Parking – Where and How Much Does It Cost?

Brașov has a well-organized parking system, but spots are limited in the tourist areas. There are three tariff zones:

Zone 0 (Piața Sfatului, Str. Republicii, Poarta Schei) – 10 RON/hour Zone 1 (Old Town, Livada Poștei, Bulevardul Eroilor) – 5 RON/hour Zone 2 (residential and peripheral areas) – 2.5 RON/hour For a secure spot, you can use public parking areas at Livada Poștei, Regina Maria (near the Military Hospital), or private parking lots in malls like Coresi Shopping Resort.

If you are visiting Poiana Brașov, parking is expensive and overcrowded during the ski season, so it’s better to park at the entrance to the resort and use public transportation.

Are Cars Towed in Brașov?

Yes, especially in central and tourist areas. If you park illegally, there is a risk of your car being towed, and the fine and recovery fee can exceed 500 RON.

Roads and Driving Conditions

Brașov has good roads, but in winter, you may encounter snow and ice, especially on Drumul Poienii or on routes to Râșnov and Bran. If you plan to drive in the area, check the weather forecast and ensure your car is equipped with winter tires.

Gas Stations and Electric Charging Points

Brașov has well-distributed gas stations (OMV, Petrom, Lukoil), and EV charging stations are available at Coresi Mall, Lidl, Kaufland, and some hotels in Poiana Brașov.

Whether you're in the city for business or a mountain getaway, a rental car gives you maximum flexibility. Choose the right model and book it quickly!
