Iasi Airport (IAS) — Location guide

Car Rental at Iasi Airport (IAS)

Iasi Airport and surrounding roads
Iasi Airport (IAS) gives fast access to the city, Moldavian hills and routes east to the Painted Monasteries.

rent a car at Iasi Airport when you land to save time and reach attractions beyond the city. The terminal is only about 8 km from the city centre (roughly 15–25 minutes via Calea Chişinăului / DN28 depending on traffic), so picking up a car at IAS is faster than waiting for taxis or transfers—especially if you plan to visit rural areas or make day trips to nearby regions.

GooRentalCars lists local suppliers at the airport with options from compact city cars to SUVs for mountain drives. If you want the freedom to explore on your own schedule—early morning trips to Copou Park, evening drives up Cetăţuia Hill for sunset views, or multi-day loops through Bukovina—the rental desk at IAS is the practical start.

Why Rent a Car at Iasi?

Iasi is the cultural heart of Moldova region: the Palace of Culture, the Mihai Eminescu National Theatre and the university area around Copou are easiest to reach by car if you're staying outside the central grid. Renting at IAS lets you mix city sightseeing with countryside drives—visit the painted monasteries of Voroneţ and Humor along DN28/E583 (about 150–180 km north-east), or head west to the Neamţ region and the dramatic Bicaz Gorge and Lake Izvorul Muntelui (roughly 120–140 km).

Coastal beach trips are possible: a long coastal run to the Black Sea (Constanţa/Mamaia) is a full-day drive (~330–380 km) but rewarding for a summer stretch. For mountain scenery closer to Iasi, plan the drive to Ceahlău Massif near Bicaz (about 140 km) on DJ174/DN15—excellent for hiking and scenic roads.

Search cars near Iasi Airport

Whether you need a small car for city streets or an SUV for mountain roads, search available inventory at IAS and compare supplier policies like mileage and cross-border permissions.

Driving Tips — What to Expect

Romania drives on the right. Typical speed limits are 50 km/h in towns, 90 km/h on country roads, 100 km/h on expressways and 130 km/h on motorways—stick to local signage. Fuel stations (OMV Petrom, Rompetrol, Lukoil) are common on main routes such as DN28/E583 to Suceava and DN2/E85 toward Bucharest, but can be sparse in remote areas—top up before long stretches to Bicaz or Ceahlău.

Expect narrow, sometimes pothole-prone county roads when leaving major routes; watch for agricultural vehicles, livestock and pedestrians in villages like Târgu Frumos. In winter (Nov–Mar) snow and ice can make mountain passes tricky—carry winter tyres or chains and confirm with your rental company whether winter equipment is provided. Keep ID, driving licence and the rental agreement in the car and be prepared for occasional checks by traffic police.

Book your car at Iasi

Reserve in advance for the best rates—weekends and summer holidays see demand from both tourists and students. Check GooRentalCars for supplier policies on mileage, fuel and border crossings before you confirm.

Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent at Iasi Airport?

EU driving licences are accepted. Visitors from outside the EU should carry their national licence and an International Driving Permit (IDP) where required; always check your rental contract and bring your passport and credit card used for the booking.

Is the Rovinieta (road vignette) needed for rental cars leaving Iasi?

Romania enforces a road toll system (rovinieta) for vehicles on national roads and motorways. Some rental companies include the vignette for the rental period—confirm with your supplier. If not included, you can purchase it online or at border kiosks and petrol stations; fines for lacking it are enforced.

Can I drive a rental car from Iasi into the Republic of Moldova?

Iasi is near the Moldova border (Sculeni crossing). Cross-border travel with rental cars is often restricted or requires a specific permit and insurance—ask the rental company in advance. If allowed, expect border checks and bring all vehicle documents and passports for every traveller.

Are winter tyres or snow chains necessary when driving from Iasi?

Winter conditions can be severe in the mountains and on exposed roads. While there's no nationwide mandatory tyre law, local authorities may require winter equipment on certain routes. For trips to Ceahlău or Bicaz in winter, request winter tyres or chains when booking.

Where is best to park when visiting the Palace of Culture and Copou?

Central parking around the Palace of Culture has paid bays and limited free spaces—look for public car parks on Strada Vasile Alecsandri and near Copou Park. Use marked parking areas to avoid fines; mobile payment or parking attendants are common in busy zones.
