2.0 Mediocre
May 2021
Pros:
This is scam I did not even pick up the car. It was advertise it work 24 hours. Actually the hours of operations were 9am 5 pm. Outside these hours you are charged 70 euros for paperwork and shuttle to the airport which is 1 mile away. The parking lot with cars is absolutely dark, at the same moment the “owner” of this fine establishment start picturing the car with his cell phone with explanation that he wants to document the current condition of the car and to find out what are the new damages of the car after return. I could not see the car at that time how can I see the condition. After I told them that this does not make lots of sense (extra charges and the pictures on dark parking lot) I was called ridiculous, and middle class overworked American who is overworked and has no time to call the rental car company directly to find out how this “fine establishment” works. Why I should call if I can book online? Why middle class overwork American should be an insult? O and last but not least he comment on my dress code. This 25 y/o fine gentlemen who represented himself as an owner told me that I am very low class citizen and he does not want me as customer anyways, he figured out that by the way I was dressed ( I was pullover sweat pants and running shoes- 90% of people travel like that long flights as far as I can see). So far I end up paying this scammer 35 euros (I hope this is al I paid, I have to check my cards) plus what I paid for the rent car previously online and left the parking lot without picking up the car. Thanks god my brother came to pick me up from there.Cons:
Never offer this scammer anymore to anyone!!!! I personally learn my lesson, never rent from shady sites. Go directly to establish rental car company.2.0 Mediocre
May 2021
Pros:
There was no office at the pick up location so I had to be driven to the office where I was told I needed to give a deposit which was 50 times (not exaggerating here) my rental amount or pay for insurance which was approx 3 times my rental amount. My credit card limit couldn't take a 50x so I couldn't actually get the car I rented. None of this was stated prior to me agreeing to rent the vehicle. On top of all this on our way back from the remote office we were in a car accident so I had to make my way back on my own. This whole business is a scam.Cons:
Stating the policy that you had to pay triple the rental amount as insurance to avoid giving a deposit equal to 50 times your rental amount or in other words not scam people2.0 Mediocre
May 2021
Pros:
a lot of additional expenses, so the car rental was cancelled; I expect my payment to be refundedCons:
transparency on what is included in the offered price as well as what is NOT included. Further, agent is remote from airport, so difficult to return the car early morning (no one present; no shuttle service).6.8 Good

Wasn't the car we ordered, and there were extra "fees" once we got there.7.2 Good

Pros:
NothingCons:
Everything. I had a reservation and they didn't explain anything during my reservation but apparently I needed to contact budget and have forms filled out 3 days prior to my arrivall date. They said they tried contacting me which is a lie. I never received a phone call or an email regarding this information. I was stuck at the airport for 8 hours. Worst experience of my life.2.0 Mediocre

Aug. 2017
Pros:
Did not have time to see the rental reservation completed.Cons:
They were discriminatory, unprofessional, a young guy and a young rude girl. They left us with no car in a foreign country with 2 kids. We had to rent with a competitor. Sound unbelievable but it is all truthful. The mismanagement, totally unprofessional, disregarding for the customer, we felt discriminated - we can go on and on. How difficult was for them to give us another vehicle. I hope this was just us.2.0 Mediocre

When to book a rental car in Sofia
Top tips for renting a car in Sofia
- Bulgaria’s capital has a lot to offer including the National Museum of History, the Park-Museum Vrana, and the Russian Monument Square. Since these attractions and more are spread out all over the city, the best way to see everything and make the most out of your trip is to rent a car. The scenic and beautiful surrounding Bulgarian landscape is also worth exploring, which is done much more easily with a car.
- Sofia Airport is located in the east of the city and about 20 minutes by car from the city center of Sofia. There are various car rental agencies at the airport, mostly located in Terminal 2, but some also have desks in Terminal 1. They are located in the arrivals hall and include renowned agencies like Sixt, Enterprise, and Avis.
- Sofia is a very old city and the streets were not designed for cars. Therefore, be prepared for narrow streets, some of which are not in the best conditions. Bulgarian drivers have a reputation of not always adhering to all street regulations (as it is often the case with locals who know the streets very well in any city) but, by driving defensively, there should be no issues. Remember to always drive on the right lane on highways, as the left is for overtaking only.
- With the narrow lanes and many car owners in Sofia, congestion can occur regularly, specifically during peak times between 7:30 and 9:30 am and 4:30 to 6:30 pm. If possible, try to avoid driving during these times and explore the city when everyone else is at work after enjoying a lengthy breakfast or sleeping in.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Sofia for C$ 34 or less
- Book your rental car in Sofia at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport rental car locations in Sofia are around 34% more expensive than airport locations on average
- Mini rental cars in Sofia are around 82% cheaper than other car types, on average
