Car rental at Iasi Airport with cross-border travel to the Republic of Moldova
Viocars offers the possibility to rent a car in Iasi and travel legally to the Republic of Moldova. Border crossing is allowed with a one-time fee of 80 EUR, charged per contract, required for preparing the documents and extending the insurance policy. This service is an ideal solution for visiting relatives, business trips or tourism. Recently, several flights have been redirected from Chisinau Airport to Iasi Airport. For this reason, we decided to support travelers who need to reach the Republic of Moldova but arrive in Iasi. If your destination is Moldova and you land in Iasi, the fastest and most affordable solution is renting a car that allows you to reach your destination quickly and comfortably. Many car rental companies do not allow cross-border travel to the Republic of Moldova, but recent circumstances have shown the importance of offering this service, as many Moldovan citizens have been forced to travel only as far as Iasi. At the same time, Romanian citizens who wish to visit Moldova, explore Chisinau or discover famous wineries across the country, can also benefit from this cross-border car rental option.
