17 Nov - 19 NovCars must keep their headlights on (including during daylight hours) and hire car drivers should be aware of changing speed limits on Bulgarian roads. As soon as you enter a built-up area or pass a sign showing the place name on the outskirts of a town or village you are in a 31 mph zone. On most rural roads the speed limit is 50 mph and motorways have maximum speeds of 80 mph or 87 mph , depending on whether there is a hard shoulder. Speed cameras and speed traps are not signposted. Bulgarian police have the right to issue on-the-spot fines to drivers of rental cars and to send them to a local hospital for a follow-up breath test. Parking fines can be expensive, so avoid blue and green no parking zones in cities. Trams have right-of-way over cars at all times. Be aware that a red fuel pump at a service station is reserved for service vehicles. Your car rental company should equip the car with compulsory items, i.e. warning triangle, fire extinguisher, first aid kit and reflective jackets for each passenger.
When you use momondo for rental car comparison, you have a range of car hire companies to choose from and each one will have their own car hire terms and conditions. They may include documentation over and above the legal requirements. When you pick up your rental car you will need to provide your passport or national ID card, your driving licence and your debit or credit card. Some car hire deals include a compulsory deposit which can only be paid by credit card, even if you're paying for the car hire by debit card. In addition, some rental cars can only be hired by drivers over 23, while other companies specify a minimum age of 21 years. Some car rental companies also require a printed copy of the online booking confirmation and may attach conditions to the driving licence, such as having held your licence for over three years. Always double-check the T&Cs when deciding on cheap rental cars as there will be differences in the collision and theft waivers and the deposits required. Extras such as car seats for children may incur additional charges.
Svelingrad/Kapikule is a border crossing into Turkey and so the A1 motorway from Sofia to Svelingrad is always busy and traffic includes heavy lorries in both directions. The Black Sea coast of Bulgaria is a popular holiday destination so the A4 and A2 highways to the main resorts will be busy in Summer, as will the E67 road along the coast. Winter visitors to Bulgaria often hire 4WD rental cars to take them up to the ski resorts so the roads up into the Pirin Mountains and the famous Bankso resort will almost certainly be busy in Winter. Ensure your rental car is equipped with snow chains and don’t forget to obey the low maximum speed limit on snowy roads.
Make the most of your rental car, weather permitting, by driving from Plovdiv to Veliko Tarnovo. Following Route Six and then turning onto Route Five to reach Veliko Tarnovo via the Shipka Pass takes you up into the Balkan Mountains. The road zig-zags in a series of hairpin bends and each turn on the way down opens up vistas of huge valleys, wooded slopes and spiky peaks. The E671 heading East from Sofia towards Karlovo takes you through fields of red damask roses and vineyards. The scent and views in May and June when the roses are in flower are wonderful. Or consider the road from Sofia to the picturesque spa town of Shiroka Laka. Take the A1 toward Plovdiv but turn off onto Route 843 through rolling countryside, quiet lakes and wooded hills.
