TRANSPORT IN BULGARIA

Bulgaria is a bus country and if you don’t mind using public transport, trips on buses, unlike taxis, will cost you 20 times cheaper. Taking into consideration the high season and the presence of large passenger traffic, the country's authorities approve a special timetable for the summer: shuttle buses come in every 20 minutes or less. The prices for tickets are quite affordable. For example, a 2-hour trip will cost you about 12 levs (6 euros).

The prices for a taxi depend on the popularity of the resort and starts from 2.5 levs per kilometer in Sozopol, Pomorie and up to 5 levs in Golden Sands, Sunny Beach. In any case, with taxi drivers, you can and should bargain, finding the price in advance before the trip.

Transfers from airports and railway stations

In the summer season, tourists use two airports in Bulgaria, located on the coast - in the city of Varna and the city of Burgas. The cheapest way is to get there by bus. In this case, you will reach the bus stop or bus station, but you still have to go further to the hotel/apartment on foot or call a taxi. It's not a problem, if it’s not your first time and you know streets of the city. By the way, in Bulgaria not all houses are numbered. You can, of course, take a taxi at the airport, but, like in any country, airport taxis are always more expensive. The best option is a personal transfer from the airport with a welcoming sign you’ve chosen, and the price will be stated in advance. The driver who meets you will already know the route of the trip, and the car will meet your requests such as the number of passengers and luggage. Don’t worry if your flight is delayed we will wait for your as much as required and the cost of the transfer will not change. 

What are the prices for transfer from / to Burgas Airport or Varna? The average cost per car for up to 3 passengers is 0.65 - 0.70 euro cents per kilometer. But of course, it could be cheaper.

Features of car rental in Bulgaria

Car rental is the most convenient and comfortable way of traveling around the country. If you plan to travel often, then renting a car will be cheaper than taking a taxi. It is a good opportunity to arrange self-guided tours, as well as to visit different beaches. The cost of renting a car in Bulgaria is considered one of the lowest in Europe.

Nevertheless, there are some nuances: traditionally they like to state initially low price tags - for example, rent from 10 euros / day ... But really the price can be 2 times higher. You will be charged separately for all additional options, such as a vignette, navigator, maps, CASCO, international insurance, a second driver, a child seat, etc. In addition, they can provide the car not the one you chose, but just corresponding class. It’s fare for both small local companies and large international ones. But we all agree that VW Golf and Ford Focus - it's not the same thing. It is also interesting that the choice of cars with automatic transmission is not very big. It is also difficult to find a car for rent without paying a refundable deposit, which on average is 200 euros.
