Avis

If you're arriving in Bucharest by air, why not start your holiday in style by jumping into an Avis car right at the Bucharest airport. They're open from 7 in the morning, right through to 2am, seven days a week. If you’re arriving on a budget airline you’ll land at Baneasa Airport and can find Avis in the Departures area from 10am to 10pm (tel + 00 40 21230 2482) or in town at the Hilton Hotel, 1-3 Episcopiei St, from 8am to 10pm. Avis have got a great fleet of cars ready to drive away including, the Ford Focus, Volvo S40 and Opel Corsa. To book online and get driving, or to find out more just go to the site, click ‘Display Rental Agreement’ and hit ‘Ask Avis’. Avis’ English language website should be able to answer all your queries and if it can’t, you can contact them directly.

And once you’re all buckled up and raring to go, Bucharest and its surroundings are yours to discover. With its wide-open avenues and boulevards, Bucharest is a perfect city to drive around. Ceausescu’s gigantic Palace complex, could happily have you circling it for days on end!
