Explore Cluj-Napoca with a Rental Car

A rental car is the most flexible way to explore Cluj-Napoca and the surrounding Transylvanian region. With Klass Wagen, you arrive at Cluj-Napoca Airport (CLJ), board the free shuttle to our nearby office, collect your car, and you're on the road — all within minutes of landing. Unlimited mileage means no restrictions on how far you go.

St. Michael's Church in the center of Cluj-Napoca, Romania—a top destination for travelers using car rental services in Transylvania.

Why Visit Cluj-Napoca by Car?

Cluj sits at the heart of Transylvania, and the region's best sights are spread across the surrounding hills and mountains where public transport is slow or infrequent. A rental car from CLJ puts the underground world of the Turda Salt Mine about 30 minutes away, the scenery and trails of the Apuseni Mountains within easy reach, and the medieval cities of Sibiu and the UNESCO citadel of Sighișoara both around two hours out. Within Cluj itself, having a car makes St. Michael's Church, Bánffy Palace, and the National Museum of Transylvanian History easy to reach on your own schedule.

Airport Shuttle Service

Klass Wagen provides a free shuttle between Cluj-Napoca Airport (CLJ) and our Cluj office. The shuttle departs roughly every 20 minutes. The journey from the CLJ terminal to our office takes about 9 minutes.

On departure, the same shuttle returns you to the terminal in time for your flight. Please note the shuttle operates from Cluj-Napoca Airport only — it is not available from any city-centre location.

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

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