While sightseeing in general in Sofia is fairly inexpensive, one thing that stand out as being pricey here is car hire, which can cost more than in Western European cities. Many companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old, or sometimes 23, and they must have a valid passport and license that is at least two years old. Deposits are taken in cash or with a credit card number, and international insurance is required. Signing up for full insurance is advised.

If your budget allows, having a rental car during your stay in Sofia is a great way to enjoy all that the city and region has to offer. With the grand Mount Vitosha not far away and scenic drives available throughout the valley, many visitors opt for renting a vehicle to expand and maximise their time spent enjoying Sofia. Car hire companies in the city centre offer rental services, while companies at the airport such as Avis and Hertz have desks in the Arrivals area.

Booking Sofia car hire online

Arranging car hire in the city or at the airport on arrival is possible, but as the rates on the ground are famously expensive, it is wise to book online before travelling, giving you a much great chance of finding cheaper rates as well as getting the vehicle of your choice.
