Planning a car rental at Otopeni Airport with RentKraft
Renting a car at Otopeni Airport is the fastest way to continue your trip right after landing. RentKraft prepares the car before arrival, so pickup is straightforward and without wasted time. Reservations are confirmed by email, and depending on availability, an advance payment may be required to guarantee the car. The vehicle is delivered with a full tank and a clean interior and exterior, so you can leave immediately toward your destination.
For short drives into Bucharest, economy or compact models are ideal. For longer routes toward Ploiești, Brașov or mountain destinations, a mid-size car or an SUV is recommended, offering better stability and comfort.
Choosing the right car for routes around Otopeni
Otopeni Airport connects to some of the country’s most heavily used roads: DN1, Bucharest’s ring road and the A3 motorway. Depending on the time of day, traffic can vary significantly, which influences vehicle choice. For short drives and frequent parking, economy cars are ideal. For frequent trips between Otopeni and the business areas in northern Bucharest, a compact car with features suited for intense urban traffic is recommended. For long journeys to the mountains or other cities, an SUV or a mid-size car provides more comfort.
Advantages of the RentKraft fleet for car rentals in Otopeni
RentKraft provides a modern fleet, technically checked before every handover. Cars are delivered clean, with a full tank and all required documents: registration certificate, RCA insurance and rovinieta. The handover report notes all visible remarks, ensuring a transparent process.
If the car has damage that cannot be repaired quickly and the client is not at fault, RentKraft can provide another available vehicle so the trip can continue without interruptions.
