In the last 10 years, Romania recorded a huge increase in every domain. Multinational companies invested a lot of money and built headquarters in Bucharest. People travel a lot inand out of the country and now renting private cars ( alongside of the public taxis ) is a common fact.
Genneraly rent a car companies are hired by multinationals, so they can have confidence that their employees or VIP`s will get in time in any place without having trouble. This relation between rent a car companies and multinationals is based on peer trust.
Besides multinational companies, rent a car companies are also appealed by foreigners who come to visit
Romania. There are some rent a car companies with experienced chauffeurs with advanced studies and a guide’s license who can easily give you a dream tour of tourist attractions, cities and sites in Romania. People rather preffer instead of going on a tour with a coach and other 40 people, renting a private car and make their own itineraries.
And now…
Why should you rent a car at Bucharest’s airport?
Bucharest has 2 airports, one for both international and domestic flights and one for domestic flights only. ( Otopeni airport and Baneasa airport)
There are no means of transport from the Otopeni airport ( situated at 11 km away from the city north entrance) except public taxis.
A few years ago, there was a big scandal between taxi drivers, which had negative results for people ariving at the airport. Many of the taxi drivers then were forced to quit their job, and they now stay “undercover” in the airport asking everybody who come out if they need a cab. They fool everybody asking a lot more than a normal price, and they are rude and unpolite. The security aren’t capable of doing anything because they’d risk another scandal.
So, you would have two choices for an airport transfers. These guys, or the company with public transfers
with forced the old taxi drivers to resort to this. ( also with very bigh prices). Also, if you somehow manage to get in the city, public means of transport are dirty and unfriendly.
If you want to avoid any trouble contact a private Rent a car in Bucharest company and a con sedan ( or limousine at your request ) will wait for you in the VIP parking space. Also the driver will wait for you at the arrival gate with a banner with your name.
