Travel information

Driving in Romania

Bucharest sits at the heart of one of Central and Eastern Europe’s most important road networks. From Romania’s capital, the main national motorways branch out, including the A1 Bucharest–Pitești, the A2 Bucharest–Constanța and the A3 Borș–Bucharest.

Romanian motorways are toll-free except for crossing the Danube bridge on the A2. Please note that to drive in Romania you must purchase a Rovinieta vignette.

Driving documents and road rules

To drive in Bucharest and throughout Romania, your UK driving licence is sufficient. Our first piece of advice on car hire in Bucharest is to familiarise yourself with local traffic regulations: speed limits match those in many European countries at 50 km/h in towns and 130 km/h on motorways, whilst on dual carriageways and rural roads they vary between 70 and 100 km/h.

Be aware of drink-driving laws: the permitted alcohol limit is 0%, meaning you cannot drive after drinking alcohol. If you test positive on a breathalyser, your licence will be suspended for 90 days, which can be reduced to 30 days by completing 7 driving lessons and passing an exam.

Dipped headlights must be on at all times outside built-up areas, whilst dogs and cats can only be transported with a European pet passport, issued by veterinary authorities in your home country.

If you experience problems with police following a dispute, you can contact the British Embassy in Bucharest on +40-213052100. For emergencies, the mobile number is +40722314803. Please note that in the event of an emergency you can call 112 free of charge.
