KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Arad

  • Using a car hire in Arad gives you the most convenient and unparalleled travel experience. With no time limitations, you can travel and explore anywhere in Arad. Getting around the city, and its surroundings, when driving a hire car is faster than public transportation. Take your time and travel to major attractions, such as Malul Muresului and Balla Geza Winery. You can also use your car hire to visit other cities, such as Timisoara, 49 km (30 miles) away, Debrecen, 152 km (94 miles) always, and Oradea, 109 km (67 miles) away.
  • Arad International Airport (ARW) is conveniently located about 5 km (2 miles) from Romania’s capital, Arad. Therefore, getting to the city centre with various transportation means is easy. However, Arad car hire agencies are providing various car options for you to choose from. You can choose from the many companies available, including Sixt, Goldcar, Autonome, Flex, Flexicar, and Wheego, located opposite the International Arrival Gate. You can get to the car hire offices using free shuttle services from the airport terminal.
  • Driving in Arad can be hectic because of the city noise, aggressive drivers, and excessive horn use. Though the law prohibits drivers from such behaviour, many drivers disregard this, so using your car hire in Arad could be hectic. Though jaywalking is illegal in the city, pedestrians are allowed to cross on the corner of the street if no crossings are present nearby. Therefore, avoid road distractions to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
  • Using a car hire in Arad is easy considering that it is a small city compared to others in Romania. The traffic flow is mostly smooth and has low congestion levels. However, main roads and city centres may experience traffic jams during morning and evening rush hour, when people travel to and from work. This is typically between 07:30 to 09:00 and 16:30 to 18:00. We advise planning your routes and trips using a mobile app, to avoid traffic jams that may inconvenience you.
  • Book your car hire in Arad at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Arad are around 64% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Arad?

    If you are on a budget and looking for a cheap hire car, look for a compact car. This type of car will aid you in parking in very tight spaces and help you manoeuvre narrow streets when exploring Arad. Alternatively, should you want to take your vehicle on a road trip or to the countryside, you should look for a larger vehicle, such as an SUV. This car will provide greater handling and traction for winding and steep terrains.

  • What’s the speed limit in Arad?

    Ensure you always look out for speed limits and adhere to them to avoid attracting fines when using car hire in Arad. While Arad has different speed limits for different roads, the general limits are 50 km/h (31 mph) in built-up areas, such as urban areas. When driving outside built-up areas, the speed limit increases to 90 km/h (56 mph) and 130 km/h (81 mph) on highways. Keep in mind that special zones have lower speeds because of increased pedestrian activities. Such zones include residential areas, near playgrounds, and school zones where the speed limit is 30 km/h (18 mph).

  • Where are the best places to park in Arad?

    You will find it relatively easy to park in Arad, thanks to several car parks providing convenient spaces for your hire car while exploring the market or town. You can make reservations for a parking space as it is much easier. Furthermore, you will get a parking space in Arad for as low as 1.05 RON (0.18 GBP); note that these prices can increase depending on the location and time of day. Common parking spots include Horia Arad 8 Parking and Parcare de tip “Fast Park”.

Car hire insurance in Arad

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Arad car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Arad.
