Useful tips for driving in Bucharest and pick-up from Otopeni Airport

1. Distance and traffic time to the city center Henri Coanda International Airport (Otopeni) is located approximately 16 km from the center of Bucharest. The main route is on DN1, and a trip to the heart of the city takes, under normal conditions, between 30 and 50 minutes. However, during peak hours (08:00 - 10:00 and 17:00 - 19:30), traffic can get significantly congested, so we recommend planning your departures to the airport with an extra time margin.
2. How parking and road taxes work Inside Bucharest, public parking spaces are divided into tariff zones and are strictly monitored. To avoid fines and pay simply and quickly via SMS or card, we recommend downloading useful mobile apps like AmParcat. Regarding roads outside the city, you are free of any stress: all our rental cars come with the road tax (rovinieta) included and paid for the entire duration of the contract, being valid on all national roads and highways in Romania.
3. Speed limits to keep in mind If you are used to the rules in other countries, here is a quick reminder of the legal speed limits in Romania to drive safely and without fines: 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 or 100 km/h on national and European roads (like DN1), and 130 km/h on highways.
