About the Sixt Car Rental in Sofia

Any one of our five Sixt branches in Sofia, Bulgaria will provide hospitable service to help you start your holiday right. There are two counters located conveniently at the airport in separate terminals and the other three can be found at hotels throughout the city. Finding a car rental in Sofia is made simple due to our flexible opening times, great selection of vehicles, and reasonable prices. Most of our fleet come with standard equipment such as an emergency road kit, sat navs, and radio. Furthermore, we customise our services for you. That means adding additional accident coverage or a second driver just got that much easier.

What to See in Sofia with a Car Hire

A car for hire is a great way to get the party started in the attractive and culture studded Bulgarian capital. Once you are behind the wheel of your car rental it won't be long before you find Borisova Gradina - the perfect place for a stroll in the park and to see some monuments. After hitting the shops and nightlife along Bulgaria Boulevard, which is a nice blend of classic meets modern architecture, consider venturing beyond Sofia. A highlight worth visiting on your trip is Plovdiv, the oldest inhabited city in Europe where more treasures await. Additionally, Malyovitsa, the Rila Mountains, and Bansko are all only 1 to 2 hours away from Sofia. To see more of this special city "on the rise", a car hire with Sixt is the way to go.

Happy :) I often rent cars from Terminal 2 in Sofia, but this was my first time renting with Sixt, and I’m very pleased with the experience. The process was fast, and the rental agent was excellent—he didn’t push me to buy overly expensive insurance, which I really appreciated. The deposit was reasonably priced, and the car was great—not brand new, but powerful enough to handle any drive confidently. I also liked that the car didn’t have any rental stickers, which was a nice touch. The car was parked outside the terminal in the new rental car park, which is very convenient. Overall, a hassle-free and pleasant experience. Highly recommended!
