Romania

The route is not what you’d expect and will have you swimming in the Ionian sea one minute and dining in a Venetian palace the next minute. The highlight of the trip being the exclusive private dinner in Bran Castle, but watch out as Dracula lurks in the castle as we are eating. To top it all off you’ll drive the spectacular Transfagarasan pass… this trip is the stuff dreams are made of.

You can take a car that costs no more than £1000 or a car of any value that is 20 year or older. If you go for the £1000 car the budget does not include tax, mot, or any safety related repairs required on your car.

What we can say though, is that the Rust 2 Romania route is not obvious and involves less driving than you think. We use a variety of boats and overnight motorail to quickly advance our trip across Europe which means less time driving and more time with the warm wind in your hair on the deck of a giant cruise ship! That's right a train. You'll spend the afternoon chilling out somewhere awesome then literally drive through the platform and onto a train. You'll also get a cabin just for you and your teammates so you can comfortably sleep as the train takes you across the border and wipes out several hundred miles of driving. Thanks to all these complicated train and boat bookings, Rust 2 Romania takes you further afield than possible on any normal road trip!

You'll have crossed mountains and watched the sunset on the horizon as you disembark one boat and board another. It's all worth it though when you arrive at your villa with it's own private swimming pool. Of the fourteen nights you'll be away, one of them will be in a rickety chalet and the rest is split up between boats, trains and some amazing hotels ranging from three stars to five stars. It's not five star luxury every night, it's a blend of carefully selected accommodation which is fit for each day of the trip. We don't just stay where there are luxurious hotels, we also stay where the hosts are welcoming, bring us beer and dance with us after some excellent home made cooking.

This includes all of your accommodation, ferries and everything else mentioned here. There are two ways you can pay the entry fee one of which makes it very affordable. The entry can be paid monthly or all at once. You will get one hotel room for your team at the hotel in Rome. You can stay in separate tents or one big tent at the campsites. It essentially works out to £109 per person per day of entry fee to be on a Rust 2 Rome trip.
