KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Satu Mare
- Car hire in Satu Mare provides the freedom to explore the city on your terms and customise your itinerary. While public transport can access most of the attractions in Satu Mare, having a car offers better accessibility to these locations. You can conveniently and easily access attractions, including Satu Mare’s Botanical Garden, Maramureș Wooden Churches, Tășnad Thermal Baths and Sighetu Marmației.
- At Satu Mare Airport (SUJ), the car hire counters are located in the arrivals hall. Upon exiting the customs area, head straight ahead towards the main terminal building. Inside the terminal, you will find the car hire counters conveniently situated to your left, where representatives from various car hire companies will be ready to assist you with your hire needs. For car hire in Satu Mare, you must have the relevant documents, including a driving licence and identification documents, and meet the age requirement of 21 years.
- Before booking Satu Mare car hire, ensure you familiarise yourself with the driving rules here. Watch out for pedestrians, particularly near crossings and busy areas like the city centre. They may not adhere to traffic rules and may cross unexpectedly, especially near parks, schools and residential areas. Be ready to encounter varying road conditions, as some roads may have potholes and need maintenance. Be cautious when driving on such roads. Rural and secondary roads in Satu Mare may be narrower with less lighting; therefore, ensure you have good headlights and hire a compact car for the navigability of the narrow streets.
- Rush hours in Satu Mare typically occur from 08:00 to 09:00 and 16:30 to 18:30 when residents commute to and from work. During rush hours, main roads in the city, including Bulevardul Vasile Lucaciu and Strada Mihai Viteazul, become barely passable. Certain areas in downtown Satu Mare may experience increased traffic, including Piața 25 Octombrie and Piața Libertății; therefore, consider using alternative routes or walking if you have to run errands during peak hours. When visiting during festival and event seasons, including Satu Mare City Days in late May or early July, the International Festival of Satu Mare in late August or early September and the Autumn Fair in October, prepare for increased traffic.
