Car Rental in Bulgaria Mini Guide

Car hire in Bulgaria is cheap and very well represented at the major international airports and across the country. For those looking to get out and about and see more that this diverse country has to offer, a rental car is a cost effective means of transport and certainly worthy of consideration.

While on the road, keep in mind that Bulgarians drive on the right-hand side and adhere to European road rules. The road infrastructure is continually improving, with well-maintained highways connecting major cities and towns. Speed limits are typically 50 km/h in towns and 90 km/h on rural roads unless otherwise indicated. It's essential to have your seatbelt fastened at all times. When exploring Bulgaria, you'll be captivated by its stunning landscapes, from the picturesque Rila Monastery in the Rila Mountains to the historic town of Plovdiv with its Roman ruins. Don't miss the vibrant capital, Sofia, with its mix of architectural styles, or the Black Sea coast's beautiful beaches.
