How to save time when picking up your car at the airport (the Napoca Rent a Car way)

You've just landed in Cluj-Napoca and want to hit the road fast — no endless calls, no waiting, no surprises. That's exactly how we do things at Napoca Rent a Car: Rent a car Cluj airport made simple, with clear rules and zero "buts". We don't have a desk inside the terminal, but your car is waiting right across the street from the exit, on Traian Vuia Street. No credit card, no deposit, no guarantee. Prices are transparent and stay the same — we don't negotiate prices, and we don't cut corners on quality. We're straight shooters and we like to stay close to our clients.

"Napoca Protocol": ping us when you board, your car waits at Arrivals

  • Send a quick message when you board. We sync the handover time with your flight.
  • When you land, you already have a photo of your car parked right across the terminal (Traian Vuia Street).
  • No shuttle, no "where are you?" calls. Our colleague is there for simple formalities: check docs, quick sign, 30-second photo walkaround, and go.

Prep starts before the flight

1) Book online and confirm your flight number

Once booked, we match delivery to your flight. Tell us your flight number and ping us when you board — at Arrivals, the car is waiting. Check rates here: Cluj Car hire rates.

2) Keep your documents handy

  • valid driving license;
  • passport or ID;
  • billing details (if needed).

No credit card required, no deposit blocked, no guarantee — zero time lost with POS terminals, limits, or 3-D Secure.

3) Choose your options in advance

Child seat, additional driver, different drop-off time/place? Add them in your booking and we bring the car already configured.

Pro tips to save a few extra minutes

  • Send the boarding message; we position the car and send you the photo.
  • Keep docs in your hand luggage, not in checked bags.
  • Set the second driver in the booking.
  • Snap the dashboard at pick-up & return (mileage, fuel).
  • Save our number +40 754 936 493 and the return location (same spot: opposite the exit, Traian Vuia 210).

Pick the right car without overthinking

  • City break, 1–2 people: economy/compact.
  • Family + luggage: compact wagon or mid-size SUV.
  • Apuseni / twisty roads: automatic gearbox and a peppier engine.

Tell us your route and we'll recommend the right fit. We don't promise "the cheapest in the universe"; we promise the right car at the posted price.

Quick FAQ

Why "no negotiations"

For fairness and saved time. Everyone pays the same posted rate, and we focus on what matters: clean cars, proper checks, on-time delivery, clear communication. We're not perfect, but we stay consistent and close to our clients.
