Explore Bacău with a Rental Car

A rental car is the most flexible way to explore Bacău and the surrounding Moldavia region. With Klass Wagen, you arrive at Bacău Airport (BCM), board the free shuttle to our nearby office, collect your car, and you're on the road — all within minutes of landing.

Enjoy day trips near Bacau with a local car rental, perfect for exploring eastern Romania.

Why Visit Bacău by Car?

Bacău sits in the heart of Moldavia, and the region's best-known destinations are spread through the surrounding hills and Carpathian foothills where public transport is slow and indirect. A rental car from BCM puts the underground world of the Târgu Ocna Salt Mine about 50 minutes away, the mineral-spring resort of Slănic Moldova — the "Pearl of the Moldavian Carpathians" — around an hour and a half, and the historic Neamț monasteries within easy reach to the north. Closer in, having a car makes Cancicov Park, the Astronomical Observatory, and the Precista Church easy to reach on your own schedule.

Airport Shuttle Service

Klass Wagen provides a free shuttle between Bacău Airport (BCM) and our Bacău office. The shuttle runs 24/7 and departs roughly every 20 minutes. The journey from the BCM terminal to our office takes about 5 minutes.

On departure, the same shuttle returns you to the terminal in time for your flight. Please note the shuttle operates from Bacău Airport only.

If you cannot locate the bus, call us on +40374020002.

For pickup instructions and to arrange your transfer, see our Shuttle Car section.

Popular Attractions in Bacău

Cancicov Park — the city's largest green space, dotted with statues of Romanian cultural figures and ideal for a relaxed walk among lush vegetation.
