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 need an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. Renters over 70 may also face similar restrictions. Always verify the age criteria before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is usually the most economical option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also be convenient. Just remember to return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at an airport often incurs a surcharge, but this might be justified by the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if anything unforeseen occurs during your journey. It's easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Bulgaria?

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.
