Driving tips in Chernivtsi
Chernivtsi is built on hills and its centre is dense Austrian-era architecture with narrow one-way streets and cobbles around the Metropolitans' Residence. There are always fewer spaces on Tsentralna Square and near Kobylianska Street than there are drivers, so it is easier to leave the car on the streets below and walk up. The steep lanes ice over in winter, where all-wheel drive helps noticeably.
Leaving the city: the Khotyn fortress is 45 km away, Kamianets-Podilskyi about 100 km, Vyzhnytsia 80 km, Putyla 110 km, Storozhynets 25 km. The Porubne — Siret crossing on the Romanian border is 40 km away on a smooth road, while the regional roads towards Putyla are narrower and rougher than the main route.
Khotyn and Kamianets in one weekend
The Khotyn fortress is 45 km away and Kamianets-Podilskyi another 45 from there — with the drive home that is about 200 km, less than a single day's allowance. A comfort car covers it: a Kia K5 at $75 a day, deposit $600.
A trip into Romania
The Porubne — Siret crossing is 40 km from the city and is the natural way to Suceava and beyond. We prepare the Green Card and notarised power of attorney in advance — $150 for a trip of up to 30 days — so tell us when you book, not on handover day.
The Bukovyna mountains
Vyzhnytsia, Putyla and Myhove sit on roads that test the suspension after rain. All-wheel drive is not a luxury here: the VW Tiguan is $33 a day on the 26+ rate and the Kia Sportage $55, with seasonal tyres already in the price.
Why Apex Rent Car in Chernivtsi
Car rental FAQ in Chernivtsi
- Can I take the rental car into Romania?
- Yes, most of the fleet crosses the border without restrictions. We prepare the Green Card and notarised power of attorney ahead of time — $150 for a trip of up to 30 days, $250 for premium and exclusive cars. Mention Romania when you book: the papers cannot be issued on handover day.
- Which car is easier on the narrow streets of the centre?
- Something compact but with decent ground clearance: a Mazda CX-5 at $60 a day and $35 on the 26+ rate, or a VW Tiguan at $75 and $33. Large seven-seat SUVs are hard to park on the cobbles by Kobylianska Street — take those only for mountain trips.
- Where does the handover happen in Chernivtsi?
- On the station square at Chernivtsi railway station, on Tsentralna Square, near Kobylianska Street, or at your hotel or apartment address. The driver brings the car at the agreed time, we sign the contract on the spot and record its condition in photos together. The company's head office is in Kyiv, at 188 Kharkivske Shose.
- How much does delivery cost?
- For rentals of 7 days or more delivery is included in the price. For shorter rentals the manager confirms the cost: delivery is counted from Kyiv at $0.50 per kilometre one way, with a $50 minimum. You can return the car in Chernivtsi or in Kyiv.
