We do one thing: drive people from Sofia Airport to wherever they are going, and back again. No changing buses, no waiting for a coach to fill up, and no price that moves after you have agreed it.
How it works
The price is for the vehicle, not per person, and you see the whole of it before you send a request. Fuel, motorway tolls and passenger insurance are in it. Nothing is added at the roadside.
Nobody else is picked up along the way. The vehicle is yours for the whole journey, and we stop whenever you ask.
Leave your flight number when you book and we watch the landing. If you are delayed the driver waits — there is no need to find wifi at baggage reclaim and start rearranging things.
We drive at any hour, including through the night and on public holidays. Every request is confirmed by phone or email.
If you have not been to Bulgaria before
Sofia Airport is small, and arrivals come out into a single hall. Your driver will be standing there with a sign showing your name, so there is nothing to find and nowhere to go wrong.
Distances are shorter than people expect. Bansko and Borovets, the two big ski resorts, are under two hours away. Plovdiv is an hour and three quarters on motorway. The Black Sea is the long one — four to five hours, which is why our coast pages say plainly that flying into Burgas or Varna is quicker if you are still choosing tickets.
Where we drive
The ski resorts — Bansko, Borovets, Pamporovo. Spa and mountains — Velingrad, Sandanski, Dospat. The Black Sea coast from Burgas up to Albena. The cities: Plovdiv, Varna, Veliko Tarnovo. And two routes across a border, to Thessaloniki and to Belgrade.
We also drive resort to resort without going back through Sofia — Bansko to Borovets, or Bansko to Plovdiv.
If the place you want is not on the list, call. Most addresses in Bulgaria are on a road we already drive.

The vehicles
These are the cars you will actually travel in, photographed as they are rather than taken from a brochure. The vans carry up to seven people with their luggage; for two or three with suitcases a car is more comfortable.
- Ford Tourneo Custom and Renault Trafic — up to 7 seats, air conditioning all year, a roof box for skis and bicycles on request.
- Mercedes C-Class and Hyundai Santa Fe — up to 4 seats. The Santa Fe takes more luggage if you are travelling with skis or a large case.
