Direct Flights from Israel Where Klass Wagen Meets You

Best Routes to Renting a Car in Romania for Israeli Travelers
Romania rewards travelers who get behind the wheel. The distances between major attractions are manageable, the roads outside cities are uncrowded, and the scenery on the way is often as impressive as the destination itself.
Here are five of the best routes for Israeli travelers starting from a Klass Wagen location.
1. Bucharest → Transylvania
This is the most popular route for Israeli travelers in Romania and for good reason. You can fly into Bucharest Otopeni (OTP), take the free Klass Wagen shuttle, and head north toward Transylvania.
The drive from Bucharest to Brasov takes around two and a half hours through the Prahova Valley and past the mountain resort of Sinaia, which is worth a stop in its own right.
From Brasov, you can explore the Saxon fortified villages of the Transylvanian plateau, visit Bran Castle, or push further north to Sighisoara, one of the best-preserved medieval citadels in Europe. Unlimited mileage means the distance is never a concern.
Pick up: Bucharest Otopeni Airport (OTP)
2. Cluj → Northern Transylvania
Flights into Cluj-Napoca (CLJ) are a great option if northern Transylvania is your focus. Cluj is a lively, youthful city with a strong cultural scene, good restaurants, galleries, and a relaxed pace of life.
From here, the entire north of Romania opens up. Maramures is one of the most traditional regions in Europe, with wooden churches, horse-drawn carts, and villages that have changed little in centuries.
The painted monasteries of Bucovina are a full day's drive but absolutely worth it. Pick up your Klass Wagen at CLJ and go.

3. Bucharest → Sibiu → Brasov Loop
This circular route from Bucharest is one of Romania's most rewarding drives and fits comfortably into three to four days. Head west from OTP toward Sibiu, one of Romania's most elegant cities, with a beautifully restored medieval centre and a thriving arts scene.
From Sibiu, drive south over the Transfagarasan highway if it's open, widely considered one of the most spectacular roads in Europe. Come down into the Arges Valley and loop back to Bucharest through Curtea de Arges and the Prahova Valley.
The entire route is around 600 kilometres, with no issue with unlimited mileage included.
Pick up: Bucharest Otopeni Airport (OTP)
4. Bucharest → Black Sea Coast
If you're visiting Romania in summer, the Black Sea coast is a natural extension of a Bucharest arrival. Constanta is approximately two and a half hours from OTP on the A2 motorway, one of Romania's best roads.
The coast stretches from the busy resort towns of Mamaia and Eforie Nord down to the quieter beaches near Vama Veche on the Bulgarian border. It's a very different side of Romania from Transylvania and is well worth adding to your itinerary. Klass Wagen at OTP with unlimited mileage makes it an easy add-on to any trip.
Pick up: Bucharest Otopeni Airport (OTP)
5. Cluj → Timisoara → Bucharest
This full cross-country route is ideal for travelers who want to see as much of Romania as possible in one trip. Pick up at Cluj (CLJ), drive west to Timisoara, Romania's most cosmopolitan city and the starting point of the 1989 revolution, then head south and east back to Bucharest for your return flight.
The drive covers around 600 kilometres and passes through some of Romania's most varied landscapes. One-way rental options between CLJ and OTP may be available to confirm at booking.
Pick up: Cluj Airport (CLJ)
