Am arriving to Sofia for 2 nites then off to Pomorie for 5 nites. I read somewhere this is where to check and ask about info on taxis that are rip offs and any other information would be great. We will be there in December and staying at the Grand hotel Pomorie . Any advice you offer would be great

Hi Clarissa,

Check out taxi info here: http://banskoblog.com/sofia-transfers/ . At theairport be very careful. It is full of rip off taxis. Look for the price (0.49 lev per kilometres, 0.70lev per kilometre between 10:00pmand 06:00am) in the window.

OK supertrans are honest. Check the tel number on the car is 973 21 21. You can call them. Just BGN 0.50 call out. BGN 0.18 wait rate.

Make sure it is OK supertrans and NOT a copy OK. Even I fell for this two weeks ago in Sofia when in a rush.

Then when you get in, check that the metre is turned ON. More and more people are getting ripped off. 120 euros to the centre of town has been reported to me! You can always get a transfer company to take you into town – see trafer page. A nice option if there are many of you with luggage.

Most Sofia taxis run on proppane or methane and therefore have large gas bottles in the boot (trunk). This severely restricts room for luggage.

Hope you have a pleasant trip, Lance

How much is the average for a taxi to charge to get to Bansko in total? Or how many KM is it from Sofia to Bansko center?

Reply

LanceNelson %A %B %e%q, %Y at %I:%M %p

Hi Patrick, please go to transfers artcile for all the info. There are gular buses from 14 leva each way from Sofia bus stations or private transfers and private shuttle buses from Sofia airport. It's about 180km in total.

I am in Bansko in March will I save much for prebooking ski equipment , lessons, pass etc or am I best to have a look round when I get there as I am on a tight budget.

Hi Lorraine,

You can save on all three by booking up before going. Typically the rental shops are busy and you'll be keen to get up the mountain. With prebooked beginners ski packs available on BanskoBlog for around 245 euros you'll not only be getting a better deal than in the resort but you'll be helping me improve the information and deals on this site :) , Lance

Hi Lance, I am planning to visit Bansko in Feb. I am going to drive there from Thessaloniki and I would like to know if snow chains are needed.

Reply

LanceNelson %A %B %e%q, %Y at %I:%M %p

Hi George,

You should carry chains just in case. Bulgarians drive with winter tyres. That said usually the road is kept clear of snow, but weather is weather and being prepared is by far the best way. Check forecast before setting off.

Thanks for your question

Lance

Hi Lorraine,

Subscribe and you'll receive a prepay hire/tuition quote, often around 40% saving from in resort prices. The hire places I deal with like this way as they can plan ahead. Perfect for those on a budget.
