About Renting a Car at Varna Airport

Varna Airport is just a couple of kilometers from the city center and is the natural starting point for a car trip along Bulgaria's Black Sea coast. From here, you can reach Zlatni Pyasatsi, the Golden Sands, in just 15 minutes' drive north along the coastal road, while the charming coastal town of Balchik with its cliff gardens and the famous botanical palace awaits after an additional 30 minutes. Drive south toward Sunny Beach and Nessebar, a UNESCO-protected old town on a peninsula, in approximately two hours via E87.

Inside Varna city, you'll find Bulgaria's oldest gold treasure at the archaeological museum and a long beach promenade along the Black Sea. The summer season from June through September offers warm and sunny weather, perfect for exploring both the coast and the rolling inland landscape toward the Dobruja region's plains.

We compare prices from all major providers at Varna Airport so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.

Renting at Varna Airport - The Short Version

🚗 1) Pick the Right Terms

  • Fuel: "Full-to-full" is usually the fairest deal.
  • Extra driver: can cost extra - check before booking.
  • Automatic: often pricier and in shorter supply.

🪪 2) Bring the Right Documents

  • Driver's license (usually held for at least 1 year)
  • Passport or national ID
  • Credit card in the driver's name for the deposit
A valid license is accepted in most of Bulgaria. Check if an IDP is needed.

📸 3) Drama-Free Pickup
