What you'll see

The trip by car can be cheaper compared with a plane trip and, of course, you gain flexibility. You choose the hours and you do not lose time in airports.

We provide our transfer service from Bucharest to Sofia with a fully equippedcar with air conditioning, room for luggage and extremely comfortable seats for a 4-5 hours trip. For groups, we can provide minivans with 8 seats.

Our driver is an English fluent speaker with a good knowledge of the road between Bucharest and Sofia.

Bulgaria's capital is about 360 km away from Bucharest. The distance can be covered in 4.5 to 5:00 hours depending on traffic, road conditions and the time spent crossing the bridge over the Danube.

Our driver can take you directly to a specific address in Sofia so you do not need to look for a taxi to your destination. If it's a business trip that lasts only a few hours, the driver can wait for you to return the same day. This would be almost impossible if you choose to go with a rented car.
