Guide: Documents Needed to Rent a Car in Bucharest

Before you pick up your rental car, it is worth finding out in advance which documents you need. You need a valid ID card or passport, plus your driving licence, both issued in the name of the person who will be driving.

If you come from abroad, a licence issued in the European Union is accepted as it is, while for other countries an international driving permit may also be required. For any further details, see the frequently asked questions or write to us through the contact page.

Once your documents are ready, you can go straight to the online booking; at car rental Bucharest Otopeni the car is handed over 24/7, with no deposit.

October 2026 update: check the expiry date of your driving licence and ID before you travel. A document that expired just a few days earlier can block the handover of the car, even if the booking is confirmed. The same applies to car rental Otopeni Airport, where documents are checked at pick-up, at Arrivals.

If you want to compare more offers, you can also find no-deposit car rental Otopeni, with pick-up right at the airport, as well as no-deposit car rental Bucharest for those collecting the car in the city. In both cases no amount is blocked on your card.
