We left Madrid at 16:10 with Ryanair and carrying only a handbag to travel light. After four hours flying, we arrived in Bucharest airport at 21:00 (local time). A representative from Klass Wagen (car rental company) was waiting for us to indicate us how to take the shuttle to pick up the car (very easy).

We paid 505€ for 6 days of car rental. Insurance included, unlimited km, automatic car and a comfortable car for 4 people (european size).

Since we know this day was more about flying and renting the car, we found a hotel close to the Airport (outside the city). At 22:30 we were at our hotel Vila Toparceanu to then took the car and have dinner in La Iancu, 8 minutes away by car from our hotel.
