Vw Golf 8 Rental at Craiova Aeroport
Fast confirmation and delivery at airport

The Craiova International Airport is located approximately 7–8 km from the city centre, offering quick access to the main areas of the city.

The drive to central Craiova typically takes around 10–15 minutes, depending on traffic and time of day.

The airport is directly connected to the city via major roads such as Calea București, one of the main entry routes into Craiova, providing fast access to both the city centre and surrounding districts.

The recent modernization completed in 2025 significantly improved passenger facilities and increased capacity, making the airport an important gateway for the Oltenia region.

In the Craiova Airport area, the availability of taxis and ridesharing services can vary depending on the time of day and flight schedules, with possible waiting times during peak periods.

When multiple flights arrive close together, demand can exceed availability, leading to delays or higher transportation costs.

For this reason, many travellers prefer having a car ready immediately after landing.

Even without a physical office at Craiova Airport, we provide direct delivery in the arrivals area, allowing you to avoid waiting times and continue your journey without delays.

Many offers such as “cheap car rental Craiova airport” or “low cost rent a car Craiova” may look attractive at first glance, but often do not include the real costs, such as full insurance or very high deposits.

In practice, this means that at pick-up you may be required to pay additional fees or have significant amounts blocked on your credit card. Without a credit card, the final price can increase substantially due to mandatory extra insurance.

In many cases, the pick-up process also involves queues at rental desks or transfers to off-site parking locations.

At Romanian Car Hire, the process is different: no queues, no transfers and no hidden costs. The car is delivered directly in the arrivals area, and all details, including the final price and deposit amount, are clearly displayed before booking.

Our policy is simple: no deposit for most vehicles, reduced deposit for premium classes, no credit card required and insurance included. Simply put, what you see is exactly what you pay.

Traffic in Craiova is generally lighter compared to major cities in Romania, although some congestion can occur during peak hours in central areas or on main access roads.

The route from the airport to the city is quick and usually smooth, without major delays.

With a rental car, you have the flexibility to travel both within the city and beyond. From Craiova, you can easily reach destinations such as Râmnicu Vâlcea, Târgu Jiu, Drobeta-Turnu Severin and other parts of the Oltenia region.

Craiova is also a good starting point for exploring southwestern Romania. If you have time, it is worth visiting Nicolae Romanescu Park, one of the largest natural urban parks in Europe, or exploring the city centre.

For longer trips, road connections allow access towards major routes and highways linking to other regions of the country.
