Rent a car in Sofia for a whole month

Want to hire a car for almost a month? Often, car rental companies in Sofia avoid costly admin in between pick-ups by hiring out cars for longer periods. So see if monthly car hire is cheaper than the three weeks you need it for by selecting 30 days.

Book 1 week in advance

We crunched some numbers and found that most travellers bag the lowest daily rate when they book 1 week in advance. The cheapest month to hire a car in Sofia is September.

Compare fuel policies

To save money on topping up the tank as you take off in Sofia, look out for deals with a 'full to full' fuel policy, as opposed to a 'half-full to full' one.

Skip the queues

We call out keyless pick-up when you search for cars with us. No keys to pick up, means no queues. Just turn up at your preferred Sofia car hire location, hop in and hit the road.
