Travelling to Bulgaria? I recommend that you rent a car in Bulgaria and
travel at your leisure. If you don't have prior experience, here is a
simple guideline that will help you get the right car to make your trip a
success. Bulgaria is a delightful destination for travelers.
Just read up about the places that you most wish to visit and do a
google map search to plan your travel route. Get practical advice from
your car rental company. Several online ones offer great service, but
there are certain points you need to check, with these companies, to
ensure that the service they are providing is the service that you need.
Here is a checklist on what you should look out for.
The documents that you require
You
need to have a valid driving license, your ID and a credit card. The
driving license needs to be international and acceptable in Bulgaria. If
you belong to one of the EU countries, then your license will be easily
acceptable in Bulgaria.
The price you need to pay to rent a car in Bulgaria
Car
rentals vary from company to company. Summer, being the peak season,
will have higher rates. This is the right time to travel to Bulgaria.
You can rent a car according to your budget. I rented my car from a very
professional company https://www.val-kar.com/en/
and their rates were extremely reasonable from 12€-36 €. You can check
on these people for reliable service or choose some other company from
the internet. Since I took their service and was satisfied, I can
recommend these people.
How will you be sure of the going rates
For
this, the only way is to do complete google research and compare the
rates. The websites of each company display its prices. That helps you
to do a thorough search. Shortlist at least three and draw a comparison.
Look out for, 24/7 assistance. This is a must as something can go wrong
mid-way and there should be remote support.
Contract clauses
There
is only one type of contact for temporary car usage. You just need to
be sure that the company will replace the car in case of a breakdown
down due to a mechanical fault. The company that I hired from Val-Kar
provided explicit details of their services on the website. You can read
it carefully and understand each of the clauses. They are also
extremely helpful over a call and will guide you through their rules and
regulations in case you want personal assistance.
Conclusion
The
contract details are furnished with all the clauses and you are well
protected by the law so there is no need to worry and no one can deceive
you. When returning the car make sure that you return it in good
condition. Clean the seats, empty the food trash. Return the car at the
right time mentioned in the contact. Let the company know the
destination from where you wish to hire. If you want to hire a car from Sofia airport mention it. Have a great trip and drive safely.
