KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Timisoara
- Choosing car hire in Timisoara gives you plenty of choice and flexibility when it comes to organising your travel schedule. Visitors who opt for Timisoara car hire can explore the city as and when they choose and will not find themselves limited by public transport options, which may be difficult to navigate. Hiring a car on your Timisoara trip will also let you explore scenic destinations outside the city, such as the Plaja Timis river beach, located around a 35min drive from the town centre; it’s an ideal spot for a picnic or a relaxing stroll.
- Passengers arriving at Timisoara Airport (TSR) will find a variety of car hire firms available. Car hire at Timisoara Airport is available through the desks inside the main public terminal. There are also Timisoara car hire services located just a few minutes away. These can be accessed via an airport shuttle that runs regularly from outside the terminals.
- If you plan to use car hire in Timisoara to explore the city, you should be aware that many streets around central attractions like Unirii Square or the Piata Victoriei are pedestrianised. To access these attractions, drivers can park in one of the free or private car parks located near the centre and use the tram network to explore these popular locations. When you’re driving around other parts of the city, you should look out for traffic signage that directs both cars and trams and also watch out for cyclists. Many people cycle in Timisoara, so you must be aware of bikes in traffic.
- Main roads leading in and out of Timisoara, like the E70, 59A or Route 6, tend to have heavier traffic and are usually more affected by congestion. This can be especially true during rush hour, so factor this in if you’re planning a day trip out of the city and want to beat the crowds. Romania also often experiences heavy snowfall and icy weather in winter, and city roads may not always be cleared. Make sure you keep your phone and warm clothing in the car if you’re driving around Timisoara in cold weather and adjust your speed for ice risks.
- Book your rental car in Timisoara at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Timisoara are around -13% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:
Size of the car was goodCons:
Everything, my worst experience ever. Do not rent from here under any circumstances. The car stank of cigarets and they refused to give me another. I choose to rent the car without extra insurance and to put a 600eur deposite if something would happen. When i arrived they told me that i can not get the car without buying extra insurance?!?! They gave me the car with NO gas (i have picture proof) even tho my booking says FULL to FULL. When i told it to the company they said “the normal is no gas to no gas”! Wtf!?! How stupid can you be?! When i told them that this is basically fraud, the womman in the counter said “well sometimes it happens”. Like its okay too fraud your customers? Listen to my advice, if its 300eur more expensive at for example europecare, take it. This is not worth the fighting and the humiliation they put the customers through. In the end i feel bad for the Romanian people, its people like this that gives the wonderful Romanian people a bad reputiation all over the world. This kind of people in this car rental company would sell their mother for 20eur.. its so sad5.6 Fair

Cons:
Even though we called and confirmed reservation with Payless, and the local office in Timisoara, they still said there was no cars available. Then when it was time to pay, the Timisoara tacked on a bunch of fees and we ended up paying triple what we had reserved it for. The agent told us to either pay or leave.3.2 Poor
Sep 2019
Pros:
it ran.Cons:
WAS NOT a BMW equivalent as advertised. 210,000 mile, old, no horn, dirty, tire low on air, 1/4 tank of gas at pickup...expect a response from you Payless because I GOT LESS.3.6 Poor
Sep 2019
Pros:
it ran!Cons:
Car was old & dirty, horn did not work, only had 1/4 tank of gas at pickup, a tire was low on air, wasn't really the BMW or equivalent. I would not do that again and KAYAK being a part of that does not represent you well. I would expect some type of refund. OH and it had over 210,000 km on it.2.4 Poor
May 2019
Pros:
Nothing. Never ever rent a car from Payless again.Cons:
Everything. We have never experienced such an impolite customer service. Not to mention when we went to pick up the car the office was closed.. We had to return the next and change our plans but we didnt get even an apolozige. They just asked what we want from them, a hug? This should never happen.GREEN MOTION
