Bulgaria Travel Guide - Car Rental
If you decided to visit Bulgaria, you may want to opt for railways, bus and taxi lines for your transportations. Yet, some people still prefer to rent a car for the duration of their stay, allowing them time flexibility and a more comfortable journey.
Roads in Bulgaria are generally in good condition, except smaller inner roads that may not be in their best shape. The driver must be at least 21 years old with a valid driving license that was issued at least a year earlier.
Speeding rules are somehow strict, with a limit of 50 km/hour inside the cities, 80 km/hour on open roads and 120km/hour on highways. Alcoholic beverages are strictly forbidden inside the vehicles, and a large fine is usually issued for this matter. Gas stations are also found abundantly with a usual opening time between 6am and 10pm.
Every car rental should come with obligatory insurance which should include fire and 3rd party liability insurance. Optional coverage includes but is not limited to collision damage waiver and theft protection.
