If you want to place a reservation for a rental car in Otopeni, please visit the Romanian car hire network at inchirieri.net.
The Otopeni airport, also known as 'Aeroportul Internaţional Henri Coandă', is the biggest Romanian airport. Going by car, it is located at about 17 km ride from the centre of Bucharest, the capital city of Romania. Its name comes from the district Otopeni, and until recently the official name translated as Bucharest Otopeni International airport. It was renamed to Henri Coanda, after a very famous Romanian plane constructor, but is still commonly addressed as Otopeni. Even though it is bigger than Baneasa, Otopeni airport is much younger - it was only established in the sixties. Before that, it served as a military airport for Romanian Air Force. It is undergoing many changes, and the reconstruction reflects the larger amounts of passengers transported every year. In 2010 Otopeni airport handled almost 5 million passengers. That indeed makes car rental companies very happy, as the number of rented cars and also the number of demanding customers increases in parallel.
Car hire in Otopeni? We know how to find the best prices
Renting a car in the Otopeni airport is easy and convenient. As described in the article about Baneasa car rental, booking with inchirieri.net is probably your best choice. Not only that they offer the largest database of Romanian car rental fleets; they also give you a very scalable search form, which enables you to search by brands, car type, different options configuration, and price. You will find the best deals within a minute, but we recommend booking in advance, because the most wanted cars are naturally rented most of the time. Having such a large network of partners behind, inchirieri.net also offers seasonal discounts and special promotions for holidays like Easter or Christmas. Don't forget that the full season comes during the summer, so it will be difficult to get the car you want, if you don't place a reservation in advance. In case of a long term rental, you might be able to negotiate a very good price, as those rental contracts are very much preferred by the Romanian car hire companies.
Once your booking is confirmed, you can expect the delivery agent waiting for you in the arrival hall. It is better if you notify the operator at inchirieri.net about your arrival time and if you also provide a phone number in case they need to contact you. While taking the car from the delivery agent, you will need your driving license (which has been valid for at least a year), and an ID or passport for identification. As a standard procedure, you will also need to block a deposit on your credit card, which will be unblocked after you return the car without any damage. All the cars have a full CASCO insurance, so will not lose the deposit unless you undoubtedly cause a damage to the car by your own fault. If you rent a car in the Otopeni airport, you are not limited to returning the car at the same place at the end of your stay, but you are free to return the car in any other city in Romania. If you will need to go with the rental car abroad, you have to expect paying a higher rate for that period.
