Bear in mind that unlike the UK, Bulgarians drive on the right side of the road. Speed limits vary; 50km/h in built-up areas, 90km/h outside built-up areas and 120km/h on expressways. Remember to always have your driving licence, ID, and car documents ready.

Car Class Recommendations

A Compact car is the best fit if you plan on staying within city limits due to narrow streets and limited parking. For adventure seekers aiming to explore surrounding countryside, a sturdy SUV is recommended.

Parking and Mobility

Sofia has mixed parking zones - blue and green. The blue zone charges BGN 2.00 per hour and the green zone BGN 1.00 per hour. Maps of these zones can be found online.

Attractions

Sofia is home to mesmerising places! Explore Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Boyana Church, The Russian Church, St. George Rotunda, and more. Don't miss out on the terrific panoramic view from Mount Vitosha, accessible by car and a short walk.

Neighbourhoods

Sofia's districts each carry their unique charm. Lozenets is well known for its chic boutiques and restaurants, while Studentski grad is the younger, more vibrant part of the city.

Climate

Sofia has a cool and temperate climate. Snowfalls are common in winter, which is quite a contrast to much of the UK!

Currency

Bulgaria uses the Bulgarian Lev (BGN). MasterCard, Visa and American Express are widely accepted. However, keeping some cash handy while travelling outside the city is advisable.

Cultural Etiquette

Bulgarians nod when they mean 'No’ and shake their head when they mean 'Yes’. Quite the opposite of the UK and befuddling for many foreigners!

Trip to Remember

All set for your trip? Enjoy the ride, respect local traditions and rules, and create unforgettable moments on your journey through the beautiful landscapes of Sofia.

“Completely hassle free process both pick up and return. Everything was well prepared, car impeccable!”

Rating of Sabrina

“We got a clean car with a full tank. 1 scratch was already recorded. The issuance of the contract documents did not take forever, the process at takeover just takes. The handover was fast and unproblematic.”
