One thing you may notice when driving in Romania is that other cars are flashing their lights at you. The reason they do this is to let you know there may be a radar ahead of you. In Romania, drivers drive on the right side of the road, and it is mandatory to use seat belts for every passenger and driver in the vehicle. One important thing to remember is that the blood alcohol limit in Romania is 0.0%. While in rural settings it is easy to find parking spaces, but when you get into major cities, you most likely will only find paid parking options.

Most rental car companies will expect drivers to be at least 25 years old to rent a car. There is the possibility that drivers between the ages of 21 and 24 can rent a car, but in these cases, there can be a surcharge on the rental, plus there may be a limitation on the type of cars these drivers can rent.
