KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Chisinau

  • When you choose to pick up a car hire in Chisinau, you open up this hidden part of Eastern Europe in the heart of Moldova. With Soviet-style architecture and throwbacks to the Ottoman Empire making up the landscapes, this city is filled with historical delights. Visit Stephen The Great Street, which is known as the longest and oldest street in the city, or pop into the ancient underground wine cellars of Milesti Mici. When it’s time to venture out with your Chisinau car hire, take a drive to Doroca, on the coast of the Nistru River, for fantastic views. Explore areas like Tiraspol, Bender and Odesa and see statues, monuments and the Bender Fortress for a real look into this ex-Soviet city's past.
  • If you are flying into Chisinau, you will probably land at Chisinau Airport (KIV). Pick up your cheap car hire in Chisinau from either SIXT or Hertz on site and drive straight from the terminal. Staff at the airport will be able to complete your transaction in English with friendly service, and at this stage, you should top up on any extras you may have forgotten, such as a GPS or car seat.
  • Driving your Chisinau car hire will enable you to see all of the country's attractions within about 2 hours of the city. With a friendly bunch of locals on the road, brush up on your essential Romanian phrases in case you get stuck, but many locals should be able to speak some English. Signs will be in Romanian and road signs are rather different from those you may be used to. Despite being one of the world’s biggest winery regions, Chisinau and Moldova have zero tolerance for drinking and driving. You will drive on the right-hand side of the road, wear your seatbelt at all times and keep children under 12 in the back seat.
  • The roads of Chisinau are in decent condition near the city and become more rural as you venture further away, which is to be expected. For this reason, you can find congestion in certain parts, particularly motorway onramps and exits, and other hazards on rural roads, such as tractors and horse carts. A lot of the motorways are two-lane roads that sometimes lack signage. This can be frustrating for a tourist, so ensure you have a GPS handy. Also, pay close attention to pedestrians and cyclists, as there are many in the city centre.
  • Small hire cars in Chisinau are around 28% cheaper than other car types, on average

Fuel efficiency is generally better in a smaller car, and when you find rural roads or old town inner-city lanes, you will be more likely to fit through with ease.

  • What is the speed limit in Chisinau?

    The speed limit in Chisinau is slightly lower than in many other countries, but you shouldn’t have any issues adhering to the rules of the road. There are not that many fixed cameras on the motorways, but speed traps are very common. Stick to 20 kph on residential roads, 50 kph in built-up areas and between 80 kph and 110 kph on the highways.

  • Where are the best places to park in Chisinau?

    With your car hire in Chisinau, you can find paid parking run by the city in most urban areas. You can find the appropriate parking meters with ease, or opt for parking garages and official car parks instead. Police are quite tough on cars that have been parked illegally, and towing is very common. Jumbo Parking Lot on Decebal Boulevard and Parcare Auto on Dacia Boulevard are good paid options, and you can find several free areas too. Alternatively, park in existing car parks that belong to shopping centres, hotels and theatres and just pay for the ticket when you leave.
