10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Bulgaria

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so reserving your car well ahead of your trip is advisable. You'll likely secure better rates and a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a solid compromise between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Rental car insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning lengthy road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

We all have times when plans suddenly change. That's why we provide a full refund on most prepaid rentals if you cancel a minimum of six hours ahead of picking up the car. Don't forget to double-check the rental agreement — in some cases it's not available. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
Where can I go on a road trip from Bulgaria?
Bulgaria has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Book a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what's in the wider area. Here are a few ideas:
  • Head to Venice for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Roughly 90 miles from Bulgaria, it's home to many cool attractions such as Rialto Bridge.
  • Why not see all that's on offer in Bologna too? Unmissable sights in this happening city include Piazza Maggiore. Bologna is 55 miles from Bulgaria.
  • Visit Sacred Mountain of the Rosary to feel grounded in nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just chill out in the fresh air. From Bulgaria, it's about 210 miles away.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Bulgaria with Expedia?
Check customer ratings and reviews, choose your car class and compare prices from leading suppliers. Expedia makes it easy to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Bulgaria car rental with flight or hotel bookings and drive away with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bulgaria?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Bulgaria is 18. A surcharge for young drivers applies, so check before you book and budget for any extra costs. There may also be restrictions on the sorts of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some providers will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may differ between outlets, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Bulgaria?
Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Bulgaria?
Visitors from the U.S. will feel quite at home zooming around Bulgaria — motorists here stick to the right-hand side.
What is the cheapest car rental in Bulgaria?
Bulgaria has no doubt had some very happy rental car customers lately. The cheapest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were $39 and $42. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Bulgaria?
You can rent a car for a month or longer in Bulgaria, so don't hestitate to extend your well-deserved vacation! Just enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and book your perfect ride.
Where can I find a Bulgaria car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies that are found in Bulgaria. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Bulgaria?
Choose collision damage protection while booking your Bulgaria car rental with Expedia. This protects your ride against collision damage, theft and vandalism throughout your road trip. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24/7 emergency assistance, you can drive away knowing you'll be covered if the unexpected occurs. Simply opt in to this plan while booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Bulgaria with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Italy, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
