Rental Car Experience in Bulgaria

August 10, 2007 on 2:48 am | In Travel outside of China, Travel deals, Bulgaria, Bulgaria tips and tricks |

Last week we completed our trip in Bulgaria.  I will be posting material from that trip gradually, but in the mean time I wanted to post on our experience with car rental companies in Bulgaria.  This was our second time with renting a vehicle from Global Rent A Car — and the experience has been very positive.

If you are arriving by plane at the Sofia airport, Global Rent a Car will even wait for you at the airport.  This time around we had trouble with our connective flights in London (ended up flying from London to Sofia via Munich) and as a result we were delayed by over 12 hours — we landed in Sofia around 23:15.  A guy from the rental company was waiting for us though.

If you plan to rent a car, one option is to initially put the car on your credit card (for ease of handling the initial procedure) then upon completion of your rental you can pay by cash and get a 10% discount.

We rented a SUV vehicle and ended up paying 726 euro for a 13 day rental period. (That was after the discount for paying in cash)

  3. Hi,
    Yes, the Sunny Beach and Golden Sands are usually very crowded. In general your options might be better if you go further South — South of Sozopol or North of Varna/North of Golden Sands resort….
    Overall Bulgaria is a popular destination in Europe so there are plenty of tourists. But you can expect a better situation away from the big resort areas.
