Major highways efficiently connect major cities in a few hours, but as you move toward the mountains, roads become narrower and more winding, especially in Transylvania and the northern regions. Generally, driving around Romania is manageable with normal caution.
Spring and autumn offer ideal conditions for visibility and temperatures, especially if you want to go on the mountains. On the other hand, summer is ideal for coastal trips around the Black Sea. Fuel stations are common in major routes, but infrequent in remote highland areas.
Renting a car in Romania is practical because many mountain villages, viewpoints and lakes cannot be reached by train or bus. A compact family car works well in flatter regions and around cities, while an SUV is more comfortable for mountain routes.
