About Renting a Car at Constanța Airport

Mihail Kogălniceanu airport (CND) is located 25 km northwest of Constanța and has 9 car rental companies in the terminal. The airport is a smooth entry point to Romania's Black Sea coast and the Dobrudzja region. With a rental car you'll be at Mamaia's beaches in about 30 minutes.

From the airport you can reach Constanța center in 25 km via the A2 motorway, and the resort town of Mamaia is another 8 km away. To the north the road leads to Histria's ancient ruins (about 70 km) and to the south you'll reach Eforie Nord in 40 km. Bucharest is accessible via the A2 motorway in about 225 km, approximately 2.5 hours.

The A2 motorway is toll-based – buy a vignette (road tax) directly at the rental desk or online before departure. Choose a compact car if you'll be moving around in Constanța's narrow street network. Rent early during high season June–August as the 9 rental companies may have limited availability.

How far is it from CND airport to Mamaia beach? It's about 33 km and takes approximately 30–35 minutes via A2 and then DN39 to the north. Do I need to pay a toll to drive from CND to Constanța?

Yes, the A2 motorway requires a vignette (Romanian road tax). Buy it digitally at e-rovinieta.ro or ask the rental company. Can I drive to Bulgaria with a rental car from CND?

It depends on the rental company's terms – crossing the border to Bulgaria often requires authorization and may incur additional fees.
