Frequently asked questions about renting a car in Bulgaria

Do I need a credit card to rent a car in Bulgaria?

Not always. Some of our suppliers require a physical credit card in the name of the main driver to rent a car at Bulgaria, but many others accept a debit card! However, it must always be physical and in the name of the main driver. Check the terms and conditions of each offer before renting your car at Bulgaria, to make sure.

What is included in the car hire price in Bulgaria?

The price shown on Pepecar includes the items detailed in the Supplier Conditions displayed during the booking process.

It normally includes:

  • Vehicle hire for the selected period.
  • Compulsory basic insurance (with excess, unless otherwise stated).
  • Mileage according to the contracted rate.
  • Mandatory taxes and fees.

Each vehicle may have different conditions, so it is important to always review the ‘Rental Conditions’ section before confirming your booking.

What is Pepecar's cancellation policy for cheap car hire in Bulgaria?

The cancellation policy of renting a car at Bulgaria with Pepecar is very simple! If you cancel 48 hours before the car collection time, the cancellation will be completely free of charge. If not, there will be a cancellation penalty which you will be informed of during the booking process.

Is Pepecar cheaper than renting directly from a supplier?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the supplier, the location, the dates, when you make the booking and how far in advance, and ultimately on the prices set by the suppliers compared to those set by Pepecar for each occasion. Pepecar is not restricted by suppliers when setting its own prices; we set our own rates.

What information should I review before confirming a rental?

Before confirming your booking, you should check:

  • The total price and what it includes.
  • The deposit that will be paid or blocked on your card.
  • The type of cover included and the excess.
  • The fuel policy.
  • The cancellation and modification conditions.
  • The documentation you need to present when picking up the vehicle.

At Pepecar, this information is detailed in each offer, so you will have no doubts before deciding which vehicle to rent. The aim is to ensure that renting a car is an informed decision and that, once you have made it, all you have to do is enjoy your rental car without any worries.

What documentation will I need to rent a car in Bulgaria?

In order to rent a car in Bulgaria with Pepecar you only need 3 things: a credit card, a valid driving licence and a valid ID in the country, all of them in the name of the main driver. And that's it, you just need to enjoy your rental car!

So far my experience is very good, because the information is detailed and transparent and helps to make a good choice, without final surprises, which is what bothers me the most when I rent a car. The management is easy and fast. Everything is ok

Where to rent a car in Bulgaria.

Knowing Pepecar allows you to see why renting a car in Bulgaria is easier when you can compare different offers in one place. You will have clear access to prices, coverage and conditions of each supplier, which makes it easier to make the reservation with transparency and choose the option that best suits your budget.

The main cities where to find availability are:

  • Sofia: car rental in Bulgaria from the capital is one of the most common options. From here you can arrange trips to the Rila Monastery, Plovdiv or the Balkan Mountains. Picking up the car at the airport makes it easy to start your journey. In addition, it is possible to find cheap car hire in Bulgaria in various categories.
     
  • Plovdiv: one of the oldest cities in Europe and a good starting point for touring the centre of the country. Here you can also access cheap car hire in Bulgaria depending on the type of trip you plan to make.
     
  • Varna: Situated on the Black Sea coast, Varna is suitable for coastal tours. The city has car rental options in Bulgaria both in the city centre and at the airport.
     
  • Burgas: another important coastal destination from where you can tour the south of the country and various seaside towns. From the airport you can rent a car in Bulgaria as soon as you arrive.

Thanks to the road network that connects Sofia with the coast and the main inland regions, you can design an itinerary that combines cultural heritage, nature and intercity routes depending on the length of your trip.

Pepecar allows you to compare car rental options in Bulgaria with clear conditions, no hidden costs and competitive prices. Whether you are looking for cheap car hire in Bulgaria or higher categories, you will find alternatives tailored to your needs.

Although public transport connects the main cities, renting a car in Bulgaria makes it easier to access rural areas, monasteries, national parks and mountainous areas that require road travel, allowing you to organise your trip with greater autonomy.
