Driving in Sofia
Major car rental companies such as Hertz, Avis, Europcar, and Sixt operate in Sofia. Typical daily rental costs range from 30 to 60 BGN depending on the car type and season, with weekly rates offering discounts. Drivers must have a valid national or international driver’s license and be at least 21 years old, with some companies requiring a minimum age of 23 or 25. Roads in and around Sofia are generally in good condition, but traffic can be heavy during peak hours. Parking in the city center is available but limited and often paid; look for designated parking zones. From a tourist perspective, renting a car is not essential for exploring Sofia itself due to good public transport and walkability. However, a car is recommended if you plan to explore the surrounding countryside or mountains independently.
