What is the route from the Czech Republic to Romania?

We reach Romania through Slovakia and Hungary. From Brno the route runs via Bratislava and Budapest to Szeged and across the Nădlac crossing onto the A1 to Arad and Timișoara – Timișoara is about 650 km from Brno. We continue via Deva and Sibiu to Pitești and Bucharest; Bucharest is around 1,170 km from Brno and roughly 1,370 km from Prague.

For Transylvania (Cluj) we drive via Oradea. Romania has been a full Schengen member since 1 January 2025, so there is no longer any waiting at the borders. According to our transit time overview we plan 2–3 days from loading.

Where we go in Romania – industrial centres

We most often head to these cities and industrial areas with manufacturing and automotive companies:

  • Bucharest – production, logistics
  • Cluj – IT, automotive
  • Timișoara – automotive, electronics
  • Sibiu – automotive
  • Pitești – Dacia – Renault
  • Brașov – automotive

What do we transport to Romania?

To Romania we mainly carry parts for car plants and their suppliers in Pitești, Craiova, Timișoara and Arad, engineering products, packaging, building materials and palletised goods for distribution centres around Bucharest. We also run regularly to the port of Constanța.

Romanian plants often require the truck to be announced in advance and have fixed unloading windows, so we confirm the slot with the consignee.

Which tolls and rules apply in Romania?

  • Tolls: Hungary charges the distance-based HU-GO toll. From 1 October 2026 Romania introduces the distance-based TollRo toll for vehicles over 3.5 t instead of the time-based vignette (rovinieta); the Danube bridge at Fetești on the A2 is charged separately.
  • Driving ban: on the way the Hungarian ban from Saturday 22:00 to Sunday 22:00 applies. In Romania the road authority may restrict heavy vehicles on some roads during the day in extreme heat.
  • Borders: no border checks since 2025, and goods within the EU travel without customs duty.
  • Currency: Romania uses the leu; this has no effect on invoicing between companies.
