Practical Tips for a Successful Road Trip with a Rental Car in Moldova

  1. Check road conditions
     Main roads are paved and generally good, but some rural routes can be tricky. Crazyrent cars are well-maintained, but caution is advised, especially in bad weather or countryside areas.

  2. Use GPS or offline maps
     Internet isn’t always reliable everywhere, so having a GPS device or an offline maps app will make your trip easier.

  3. Rent the right car for your plans
     If you plan to explore rural areas or rough terrain, choose a car with higher ground clearance and good suspension. For city travel and paved roads, a small, fuel-efficient car is perfect.

The true beauty of Moldova lies in the details and spontaneous moments — and renting a car gives you the freedom to experience them all.
