In Romania payment for the ride is almost always expected. The local currency is the Leu (exchange rate: 1 Euro = aprox. 3.5 Lei). It is still cheaper than trains and buses though. When hitchhiking, it's best to hold a sign with the name of the place you want to go. Try and pay the driver about 1Euro / 50km, though, this rate decreases as the distance grows. Also, you can tell the driver you don't have any money; 4 out of 5 people will take you anyway.
