Good to know
Rental age requirements aren't always the same everywhere. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could pay extra and face some limits. Check what applies with each supplier before booking your car hire in Bulgaria.
Kids coming with you? Car seat rules differ from place to place, and the best setup may depend on their weight, height and age. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Sunny Beach car hire reservation.
Make sure you have the necessary documents when you get to the rental counter. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Bulgaria.
Keep within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph (30mph) in urban areas and 135kph (85mph) or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Bulgaria is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.
One of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination is around 8am. Make things easy by driving outside rush hours in general.
The Bulgarian lev (BGN) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day purchases and activities. Pay with a card when it's possible, and keep a little cash when electronic payments aren't available.
