Useful tips when driving in Bulgaria

  • Be sure you have a ticket (vignette) attached to screen for the motorways outside Sofia.
  • Check you have winter tyres are fitted, and that the windscreen fluid is full.
  • Carry your driving licence; and passport if a foreigner.
  • Be very careful to obey speed limits. Caution on leaving towns.
  • Speed cameras x 4 (as at 10/09/11) located along E79 – see video.
  • Have a contact number to call in case of problem or accident.

 

Police (Kat): Read This!!

  • Your time spent stopped by police makes it a waste of time speeding.
  • 50 km/hr in all towns — exceed this at your peril.
  • Be sure you are in a road legal vehicle.
  • Don’t drink and drive.
  • Winter tyres, in winter, are essential
  • Snow chains are required to be carried by law
  • Headlights should be switched on during the day all year round (not just winter as before)
  • If stopped — be polite. Show your vehicle documents, driving licence and passport. You may be let off with a caution.
  • Don’t be fooled in thinking that the police are always corrupt. They now give out 200 BGN fines and driving bans to Bulgarians, and others.

 

Go to https://banskoaccommodation.blogspot.com/2008/06/getting-there.html for directions from airport to Bansko. If you have a portable SATNAV (Tom Tom with BG uploaded) or Google Maps or Apple Maps on a device, then bring it with you — but first download the maps to avoid data usage. Be careful with Tom Tom and other SatNav directions to Bansko.

3. Taxi https://www.oktaxi.net/cgi-bin/oktaxi.pl?code=main&lang=en -OK taxis several times for longer trips out of Sofia. And its not a bad option – well, its just okay! Make sure it OK Supertrans and that you ALWAYS check the cost per kilometre BEFORE jumping in any taxi. Always check that metre is ON. They are the official yellow taxis outside airport. If you’re up for some hard bargaining for Sofia… remember its just one way. If all other options failed. Or you just forgot to book. All is not lost. OK Taxis (Supertrans) will get you there. Try and pick an English speaking driver. Perfect for Sofia trips. Very poor boot (trunk) space for your baggage. There is a large gas bottle  in the boot. It’s propane gas – or the larger methane gas bottle that’s taking up that space.

NOTE: UBER is available for in Sofia rides only. At the time of editing this article in July 2015, legislation being drafted to ban Uber from Bulgaria. A great shame.

 

4.Take the Bus Why not take the bus? Save the environment and save cash. This is cheap just 16 leva (8 euros approx) each way. It will take longer though. And you have about 16 BGN to get to the bus station… so a shuttleis cheaper and much quicker if you arrive at the airport. Go to Central Bus Station, Sofia for timetable (its in English). Be warned, this will take time as you have to get to Central Bus Station. Best may be to use Ovcha Kupel bus station. But at least its on the right side of town. You will need to check these times. The bus stops in Blagoevgrad train station for 15 minutes, where there are clean toilet facilities, restauarants and coffee bars for snacks. Sofia Ovcha Kupal Bus Terminal to Bansko – 07:00, 09:20 (not Tues), 10:30, 11:50 (not Sun), 13:05, 13:55, 14:30, 14:40, 15:10, 15:28 (not Tues), 15:55, 16:30, 17:00, 17:30. Bansko Bus Terminal to Sofia – 05:40, 07:00, 08:40, 13:15, 15:20 (not Tues).

 

5. Train Here’s the link for the timetable: https://www.bdz.bg/ . Go to central train station. Change of trains is required. It will take you seven hours. Take a good book. Enjoy the scenery — its reported to be well worthwhile.

 

6. Thessaloniki Transfer Fly to Thessaloniki, hire a car and drive to Bansko from Greece. Car hire and transfers cost a little more (book in Bansko App). It’s a bit further — but getting out of Sofia at busy times makes this an excellent option to consider especially if you fancy time exploring Greece. Try a decent Greek restaurant. Genuine Greek food (especially seafood) is a must.  Thessaloniki has an excellent atmosphere. Great bars and restaurants and really different from Bulgaria. Be prepared for drinks prices that are equal to, if not more, than other cities such as London, Paris, Moscow, Dublin etc. Quality is high, however, and the weather is almost always warmer than you’ll find in Bulgaria.

 

7. Plovdiv Transfer Why not grab a flight to Plovdiv? For many this is the best city in Bulgaria. European Capital of Culture 2019. I can vouch that it really as a superb city break destination. Cheaper than Sofia and with loads of culture and a very pleasant old town encompassing a Roman amphitheatre. Search www.Banskoblog.com on top right hand column for more resources.

Warning

Beware of rogue Bansko Transfer and Hire Car Companies. There are some cars and vans that are used for transfers and hire that are unsafe. Vehicles really do need winter tyres (in winter) and a motorway vignette (ticket). Don’t risk a car that you are not certain is safe to be in. Bulgarians typically have a very different idea on what constitutes as being a roadworthy vehicle.

A reliable transfer driver is not a nice to have, it is essential.

Be absolutely certain of a safe transfer. There are several “cowboy” operators out there — just waiting to trap the unwary. Some travelers have literally been ready to abandon their transport as the driving has been so bad. Agressive overtaking and risk taking is normal driver behaviour. If it seems cheap, then please be careful, as it could be a “one man van” operator who may leave you stranded. What if the vehicle broke down for some time? Do they have a network of drivers and vehicles in both Bansko and Sofia?

Don’t risk it, book transfers here, hassle free, and online and in Bansko App.

But most of all, safe driving is what we make sure you expereince.

Enjoy your time in Bulgaria.
