If your goal is to enjoy a rich experience in Bulgaria, blending relaxation on stunning beaches with visits to famous sites and the hidden gems of the country, then renting a car will be your essential travel partner.

Traveling by car in Bulgaria offers unlimited possibilities – no need to wake up at dawn to catch an early bus, and no rushing if a spot captivates you. You have the freedom to decide where and when to go. Renting a car is the most convenient and cost-effective way to explore all you've planned.

Documents for renting a car

To rent a car, you’ll need a driver's license, passport, and bank card. On the TakeCars website, a national license in Latin script is sufficient.

Kia Rio in Bulgaria

We ended up getting a Chevy. Everything went great. When ordering it was stated that there was basic insurance, that a deposit could be left by credit card. But it wasn't. Cash only. When we got it we paid 70 euros extra for the insurance. It turned out that there was only third party insurance. But we were exempted from the deposit. It was the first time I ordered on this site. We are often in Bulgaria and hope to use it again.

Opel Zafira in Bulgaria

We were very satisfied. The car is in good condition. It is also important that the car owner has insurance, which greatly reassures the tenant in a foreign country.

Toyota Yaris in Bulgaria

Once again I was satisfied with the car rental. Getting a car at the airport was organized at the highest level. Documentation took a minimum of time. The technical condition of the car did not cause any complaints. There were no problems during the entire rental period. The return process was also quick and hassle-free. I recommend car rental from this company to everyone. Next time I will also use the services of this landlord!

Dacia Sandero in Bulgaria

My car was realy bad :(, the AC was not working and one tire was flat after 15 min driving. I changed the tire and i drove the car like 3 days with the sparw tire. I recieved a new car, wich was okay. But at first Tryane (the person where i rent the car) was realy rude and angry :(. So i went to the place where they tried to fix the tire. I went there with a local person, because it felt like that they are would be more frindly if a local person would be there with me.

Suzuki Celerio in Bulgaria

The car was booked for 10 days, there were no complaints about the car or the company during this period. We took the car at the Sofia airport; by our arrival it was already in the parking lot. The car is new !!! Very economical and compact, which is important for parking in the city. The price, booking conditions and condition of the car were pleasantly different from other rental companies. We rented a car in an office near the center of Sofia.
