In the north-east of the Balkan Peninsula there is an original country with a rich history<\/a> and picturesque landscapes – Bulgaria<\/a>. Wide sandy beach<\/a>es with bays and steep cliffs, massive high mountains, limestone cliffs, mysterious caves, beautiful river valleys, dense forests inhabited by lynxes, bears and rare birds. Independent tourists who prefer to enjoy all the benefits of free movement without restrictions in time and distance can go to see interesting places<\/a> by car. We will tell you where it is profitable and inexpensive to rent a car in Bulgaria<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Average budget for trips to interesting places<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Bulgaria<\/a><\/p>\n

An integral basis of any voyage is planning the budget of the trip and drawing up a program of visits to significant objects. By car<\/a>, it is most convenient and affordable for tourists to go to any corner of the country, without burdening themselves with time frames and public transport<\/a> schedules. Taking into account route<\/a> distances, fuel costs, car rental<\/a> prices<\/a>, and the associated costs of food and sightseeing<\/a>, it is important to calculate the approximate costs of independent travel<\/a>. Often, an individual tour<\/a> is cheaper than an organized tour.<\/p>\n

For example, conside<\/a>r the average travel<\/a> budget for several popular route<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

      1. Sofia – Rila Nature Reserve<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"Bulgaria<\/a><\/p>\n

        Sofia is located in the west of the country among picturesque mountain ranges. The city attracts true travel<\/a> lovers with its centuries-old history<\/a>, as evidenced by the abundance of Byzantine and Muslim buildings, as well as monumental architectural ensembles erected at the end of the 19th century. 117 kilometers from Sofia is one of the most picturesque places in the Balkan country – the Rila Reserve, which is a complex of monastic buildings surrounded by amazingly beautiful nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Sofia – Belogradchik<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"Bulgaria<\/a><\/p>\n

          You can see<\/a> the fortress built during the Roman Empire<\/a>, as well as admire the bewitching view of the bizarre rock formation<\/a>s in Belogradchik. The city is located 170 km from Sofia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

          A total family trip<\/a> will cost no more than 120 euros.<\/p>\n

          What is the best way to travel<\/h2>\n

          The transport infrastructure is well developed. Railway and bus<\/a> communication connects the entire territory of the Balkan state. In large cities<\/a>, trolleybuses, trams and taxi<\/a>s run, and in the capital Sofia it is convenient to travel by metro.<\/p>\n

          Buses are the cheapest way to get around the country. The technical condition of the bus fleet leaves much to be desired. You should not expect Europe<\/a>an comfort from trips. Buses leave for long distances in the early hours. Often you need to go all day and there may not be enough time to see interesting places<\/a>. Therefore, tourists<\/a> have to book a hotel<\/a> for an overnight stay in order to see the sights<\/a> without fuss.<\/p>\n

          \"Bulgaria<\/a><\/p>\n

          For travel, you can take advantage of organized bus tours<\/a>. These are informative tours<\/a> with a wide range of visits to beautiful ancient cities<\/a>, which combine architectural objects with natural attractions<\/a>. Excursion<\/a> programs have become quite expensive pleasure due to the sharp depreciation of the national currency. The average price of a tour with an overnight stay will be 90-110 euros, one-day trips – from 35 euros per person.<\/p>\n

          Trips to Sofia, Plovdiv, Rupite, as well as a visit to the Rila Monastery remain the most popular destinations for tourists after staying on the magnificent Black Sea<\/a> coast. The cost of an excursion tour for a family of three will cost 270-330 euros, excluding the cost of food and sightseeing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

          You can use intercity buses, which promises to study their schedule and attachment to the flight schedule. For a family, only the road will cost 96 euros. This is quite economical, but it would be difficult to call such a trip easy. The journey is tediously long and sometimes accompanied by a lot of inconvenience. Buses run along a clear route without deviations, so acquaintance with interest<\/a>ing objects encountered on the way is reduced to a minimum.<\/p>\n

          \"Bulgaria<\/a><\/p>\n

          The most reliable and optimal option for traveling through the Bulgaria<\/a>n picturesque regions is independent caravanning. This is facilitated by acceptable car rental offers if you use the myrentacar.com<\/a> service. Renting a vehicle for two days during the peak seas<\/a>on will cost 90 euros. Fuel costs will be 80 euros. The result is a budget saving of 80-100 euros cheaper than an organized excursion program.<\/p>\n

          Traveling<\/a> by car will allow tourists to travel much more comfortably along the desired routes. The straight A1 highway without serpentines connects the coastal areas with the rest of the country. The distance between the seas<\/a>ide resort of Sunny Beach and the capital Sofia is about 400 kilometers. Along the way, you can visit interesting colorful cities, make stops to view natural landscapes, while spending as much time as necessary.<\/p>\n

          What is important for the driver to know<\/h2>\n

          \"Bulgaria<\/a><\/p>\n

          Making an exciting journey behind the wheel, tourists need to study the features of local traffic. Mandatory fulfillment of all requirements is the key to a safe and favorable voyage.<\/p>\n

          Before the trip, tourists are advised to provide some essential details of the road trip<\/a>:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Documentation<\/li>\n
          2. Road quality<\/li>\n
          3. parking<\/li>\n
          4. Road police<\/li>\n
          5. Gas stations<\/li>\n
          6. SDA<\/li>\n
          7. Mobile internet and communication<\/li>\n
          8. Navigator<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Driver's license<\/h3>\n

            To drive a car, you must have an international driver's license. Based on the law, drivers are prohibited from driving a vehicle without European rights. Tourists are de facto allowed to drive with only a national driving license. Nevertheless, in order to avoid misunderstandings and unreasonable fines, you should obtain an international driver's license in advance in order to travel safely.<\/p>\n

            Road quality<\/h3>\n

            State highways connecting major cities are of high quality. These are toll and multi-lane highways with excellent coverage. Markings and road signs are quite understandable for drivers. Driving on free secondary roads can cause complications. There are areas with poor asphalt, but pits and potholes are rare. In addition, single-lane traffic is typical on such routes, which causes some inconvenience during heavy traffic.<\/p>\n

            Drivers need to be more attentive and patient in case of congestion of vehicles, especially trucks. There are several serpentines in mountainous areas. You should drive carefully, observing the speed limit. Roads are laid through picturesque places. Driving along them, you can admire the magnificent nature: river valleys, gorges, passes and forests. All serpentines are equipped with drains and nets against landslides.<\/p>\n

            Toll roads<\/h3>\n

            To drive on the main roads, you must purchase the appropriate permit – a vignette. This is a state-provided toll, the amount of which depends on the category of the vehicle and the duration of use of the roads. Toll roads are marked with appropriate signs. If tourists are traveling in a rented car, then the vignette is already available. It should be affixed to the bottom corner of the windshield. The date and stamp on the vignettes must indicate the validity of the voucher.<\/p>\n

            Paid parking – how to<\/a> find out how much to pay, how to pay<\/h3>\n

            \"Bulgaria<\/a><\/p>\n

            You have to be especially careful with parking lots. Many tourists often get into a mess due to a lack of knowledge about the features of using car parks. Parking zones in cities are marked with green and blue stripes on the road surface, as well as identification signs that inform about the temporary parking limit and the method of payment<\/a>. The maximum stay of a car in the blue zone is 2 hours, and in the green zone – 4 hours.<\/p>\n

            You can pay for parking by a special employee in a reflective vest or by sending an SMS to the number indicated on the road sign. The cost of one hour of parking is 1 euro. For violation of parking rules, a fine of up to 25 euros is threatened.<\/p>\n

            Payment for parking in Sofia<\/h3>\n

            In Sofia, finding a free parking space will not be difficult. Autotourists are offered a sufficient number of places both in the center<\/a> and on the outskirts of the city. The streets of the capital are included in the blue and green parking zones, which differ in some nuances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

            You can pay as follows:<\/p>\n

            All detailed information regarding the parking space is indicated on the relevant road signs. The main thing is to read them carefully. Written in Bulgaria<\/a>n, but Russian-speaking tourists will not have difficulty understanding.<\/p>\n

            Where can you park your car for free<\/h3>\n

            \"Bulgaria<\/a><\/p>\n

            The vehicle is allowed to be left free of charge where there are no blue or green markings and special parking shields. For customers of restaurants and hotels<\/a>, free parking is provided. Paid parking can be used free of charge on weekends and at night.<\/p>\n

            It is forbidden to park your car in the following places:<\/p>\n

            Traffic police: where they stand most often, what they demand, how to behave with them<\/h3>\n

            Police officers do not stop law-abiding drivers. If you follow the rules of the road, then you will hardly have to deal with the police. Patrols are on duty on the highway, setting up ambushes and closely monitoring traffic. The policemen are dressed in uniform with reflective vests. In the event of a stop by inspectors, drivers must provide a passport, driving license, car registration<\/a> document and insurance policy.<\/p>\n

            The police officer must introduce himself, give the number of his department and indicate the reason for the stop. The inspector has the right to test the driver for alcohol<\/a>. Inspection of the trunk is carried out only if there are serious grounds and a protocol is drawn up. It is important to know that the traffic police do not accept cash. The penalty for violation is paid in accordance with the issued receipt. Solving a misunderstanding with a bribe is not recommended. This can only make the situation worse.<\/p>\n

            Speed \u200b\u200bmode<\/h3>\n

            The following speeds are allowed:<\/p>\n

            There are several sections of motorways where it is allowed to accelerate to 140 km \/ h. These are new tracks that have recently been built or reconstructed. On the roads you can see special devices that record the speed of the car and display it on the scoreboard. Penalties are inevitable for exceeding the speed limit.<\/p>\n

            Seat belts<\/h3>\n

            A prerequisite for driving a car is the use of seat belts. In addition to the drivers, all passengers traveling in the front and rear seats must be fastened. Only pregnant women are allowed to ride without seat belts.<\/p>\n

            fines<\/h3>\n

            Violators of traffic rules are bound to face fines, which have increased significantly since Bulgaria joined the European Union. Traffic inspectors strictly monitor the observance of discipline on the roads. The main methods<\/a> of dealing with violators are a hidden ambush of the police, as well as the use of radar and CCTV cameras.<\/p>\n

            The most common traffic violations include:<\/p>\n

            Fines must be paid immediately at the nearest bank branch. It is important to remember that everyone is equal before the law – unscrupulous tourists should not expect leniency from the police. Officers can withdraw the rights in case of a serious offense.<\/p>\n

            Transportation of children<\/a><\/h3>\n

            \"Bulgaria<\/a><\/p>\n

            Children<\/a> under 150 cm tall must be in the back seat while the car is in motion. Toddlers under three years old travel only in special seats that correspond to the weight of the child and fix it tightly for a safe trip. This is especially important when driving a car on winding mountain roads.<\/p>\n

            Gas stations, fuel cost – where to refuel, features<\/h3>\n

            Petrol stations are evenly distributed along the roads. They meet approximately every 40 km. There are quite a lot of network fuel companies and small private gas stations both in cities and on highways. Therefore, drivers will not feel the lack of gasoline.<\/p>\n

            Compared to other EU countries<\/a>, in Bulgaria the cost of fuel per 1 liter is quite acceptable:<\/p>\n

            Petrol stations are open 24\/7 every day. The procedure for refueling the “iron horse” is carried out by employees of the gas station. Drivers should name the brand of fuel and the amount by which they need to refuel the car.<\/p>\n

            SDA<\/h3>\n

            The rules of the road, which are very well known to motorists, do not differ from generally accepted international standards. Tourists are strongly advised to practice civil and careful driving. Compliance with traffic rules is the basis of safe travel.<\/p>\n

            The main requirements that drivers must fulfill while driving a car:<\/p>\n

            Mobile communications and mobile Internet – operators, prices<\/a>, tariffs<\/h3>\n

            Mobile Internet and cellular communication are essential assistants when traveling abroad<\/a>. Tourists should take care of options for contacting relatives, as well as be able to call for help if necessary. Upon arrival, it is recommended to immediately purchase a local SIM card, as European roaming is very expensive.<\/p>\n

            The following mobile operators operate in the country:<\/p>\n

            Vivacom BG cellular communication is the best option for travelers. The operator provides customers with inexpensive tariffs (from 3 euros), as well as a stable signal in cities and popular resorts<\/a>. The tariff package, valid for 20 days, includes 25 minutes of calls to Russia and high-speed Internet. Telenor does not lag behind competitors, offering tourists acceptable conditions for calls. For 3.5 euros, 30 minutes of calls with the Russian Federation are given, but the tariff will be valid for 7 days. It is worth considering that in the mountains the signal from the Telenor operator is very weak.<\/p>\n

            M-tel covers the entire country, even the mountainous areas, with excellent communication quality. This is a rather expensive operator – the price of a two-week package is 4.6 euros. SIM cards can be purchased at mobile shops. It is more convenient to replenish the balance through terminals installed in many public places.<\/p>\n

            Navigator<\/h3>\n

            \"Bulgaria<\/a><\/p>\n

            Car enthusiasts may not need a navigator. Directional signs on the tracks are guaranteed to guide tourists along the desired route. Information boards are equipped with understandable symbols, besides, the Bulgarian language is quite understandable to Russian-speaking travelers. If you move along the coast, it is very difficult to get lost. It is enough not to leave the E87 highway and carefully follow the signs.<\/p>\n

            Using the navigator for orientation on minor roads is likely to lead to the fact that the gadget will direct the driver against the main stream of cars. This will lead to a dangerous situation. If you cannot do without a navigator, then it is better to use free Google maps installed on your smartphone.<\/p>\n

            Is it worth booking online in advance<\/h2>\n

            Independent and mobile travel can be fruitfully carried out if you use a rental car<\/a>. This way of voyage will diversify your vacation<\/a> and go to admire the beauties of local landscapes at any convenient time. Tourists should be serious about choosing a rental company, because a safe and comfortable trip depends on the right decision.<\/p>\n

            Most firms actively lure customers with enticing prices<\/a> that hide a large number of additional costs. It is recommended to rent a car in advance through the well-known online service myrentacar<\/a>, which sorts the list<\/a> of optimal offers from trusted and reliable local companies. Pre-booking a car has a number of advantages<\/a>:<\/p>\n

            The process of renting a car should not resemble a lottery. Tourists must be sure of receiving the brand of car that they ordered. The online aggregator guarantees compliance with all pre-agreed conditions.<\/p>\n

            Comparis<\/a>on of rental companies and prices for their services<\/h2>\n

            Today, renting a car is very easy. It is possible to issue a car directly by contacting large international organizations or local local firms. Also popular are specialized online services that search for acceptable rental offers among a large number of rental offices. The choice of companies is the personal prerogative of motorists.<\/p>\n

            International rental companies<\/h3>\n

            International rental organizations are active. These are Sixt, Budget, Europcar, Avis and others. They have their offices in all airports, major cities and resorts of the country.<\/p>\n

            The advantages of branded rental companies include:<\/p>\n

            International distributors also have some disadvantages:<\/p>\n

            Tourists wishing to apply to international well-known firms should be extremely careful when concluding a contract. Companies often lure customers with a kind of marketing<\/a> ploy – they indicate in advertising a low rental price, which does not include VAT, additional options and insurance. It is important not to make hasty decisions and carefully study each clause of the lease agreement.<\/p>\n

            Aggregator myrentacar.com<\/h3>\n

            To search and register a car, it is advisable to use the myrentacar.com<\/a> aggregator. The service combines great offers from reliable local companies in one place, comparing prices for selected rental dates.<\/p>\n

            The advantages are the following important details:<\/p>\n

            An insignificant minus of the service is that there is no possibility to return the car in another country. Customers of the service can contact the technical support of the service for advice on any issues. There are several ways to communicate: phone, website chat, E-mail<\/a>, social networks, Viber and WhatsApp.<\/p>\n

            Local car rental companies<\/h3>\n

            A certain part<\/a> of the car rental market belongs to local companies. Often the offices are run by businessmen who invest in the purchase of cars to rent to tourists. It is not difficult to find such distributors, you just need to walk along the main streets of cities or use an Internet search engine. Local offices have a modest fleet of vehicles, so customers have to choose from what is available. The cost of rent is 15-20% lower than that of branded companies. In addition, you can bargain and get a discount.<\/p>\n

            Most local offices do not have their own websites, which makes it impossible to book a car in advance. Turning to the services of local distributors, you should pay attention to the technical condition of the car, check the availability of a valid vignette, clarify insurance issues and find out the fuel policy (how many liters of gasoline will be filled). Many companies give the car without collateral and prepayment. The contract is concluded in a simple form that has legal force. If you learn in detail all the nuances in advance, then good rental conditions are guaranteed.<\/p>\n

            Which car to choose<\/h2>\n

            To choose the right machine, consider:<\/p>\n

            Actions upon receipt of the car<\/h2>\n

            A representative of the rental office will meet the client at the airport or will be waiting with the car at the specified location.

            All scratches, dents, electronic problems and other defects must be documented by a rental company employee.
