When you’re deciding on Cluj Napoca car hire, it is probably a good idea to go for something middle of the road, like a compact SUV or MPV. These will give you ease of driving in the city centre and also serve you well on the mountainous roads just outside. If you can get a 2x4 version, that will be even better – remember those shoulder-less roads. Otherwise, you can hire a full-blown 4x4 if you’re intending to spend most of your stay exploring the surrounding cultural heritage sites, but then be prepared to negotiate traffic a bit more carefully in town itself.

The speed limit in built-up areas in Cluj Napoca is 30mph, so you’ll be entirely used to that. The city does have the discretion to raise that to 50mph in areas where the traffic flows more freely and the roads are wider, so watch out for the signpost indicating where one zone ends and the other begins. On the roads leading in and out of town you can travel up to 55mph.

You’ll enjoy decent petrol prices in Cluj Napoca, paying an average of under L5.60 (around £1) per litre.

Parking costs are also minimal in Cluj Napoca. You can expect to pay approx. L1.70 (£0.30) for every half an hour in the city centre. Look for the parking lot in Unirii Square or Parking Central. There is also a large public car park at Parking Cipariu.
