Car hire companies REVIEWS
Sikon group
1/. I would just like to add our recommendation of Sikon Group (http://www.sikongroup.com) in Sofia since using them in July/August.
When we originally booked a few months ago via email we got very prompt and helpful advice from Yasen, who runs the company with his business partner (whose name I have forgotten, sorry!). Yasen even pointed out that I had asked to book the car for longer than I actually needed!
Our flight arrived in Sofia at a horrible time in the morning (about 1.30am) and Yasen met us from the flight and gave us a full run-down of the car and provided maps, driving directions to get on the Varna road from the airport, which is a bit tricky, and some very useful advice about driving in Bulgaria.
During our stay we were involved in a very minor prang with a Bulgarian driver, who had scraped by us on a very narrow road but decided it was our fault, and rang Yasen, who sorted it all out over the phone.
On the way home we dropped the car off at an even more awful time of the morning (around 4am) and Yasen and his partner were there to meet us, smiling and friendly.
The car was very reasonably priced and was absolutely no problem at all. I can’t recommend Sikon group enough, they are great value and very helpful, friendly and professional.
2/.I have used Sikon about a dozen times.1 car i used broke down about 320kms away from Sofia.I had a replacement within 4 hours.Have tried other car hire firms in the past but none can match this company and their prices.
3/. Been using Sikon for three years now 3 or 4 times a year, cannot speak highly enough about Yasen and his service. Get 10% discount from him as a regular customer. Sept hire 14 days Peugot estate 279 euros + 100 deposit (cash only) We had a breakdown last year and although Yasen was on holiday he insisted in bringing out a replacement car for us himself, was in VT in a couple of hours. Cars are always clean and well looked after and customers are treated like royalty.
4/. Totally have to recommend Sikon Car Hire in Sofia. Have used 3 other car hire companies before and have always had problems either with the car (handbrake defunct, broken lights, windows won’t open etc) or with the company not turning up on time or generally messing us around.
Sikon were VERY different. I 100% got the impression they cared about us as clients. We hired a Corsa which although old worked perfectly well and was clean. Total bonus - it was delivered to us with a full tank of petrol which was a first. The last thing you need is worrying about filling up late at night after a long flight. They also gave us 2 free maps of Sofia and Bulgaria. They were very clear that we didn’t need to worry about any bumps or scratches to the vehicle- we were just responsible for the tyres. When we returned the car they were there in the carpark waiting for us and after a quick hand over gave us a t-shirt as well. The price was good as well and got a 7% discount for having the MyBulgaria card. Definitely be using them again. www.sikongroup.com
Bogicars
Just thought I’d put on record that I used Bogicars after spotting the link to their website in Smiggy’s post earlier in this topic, and had no trouble at all with their service.
I was making my second visit to the Varna region - I’ve bought an apartment in Vanitsa, just above St Constantine - and fancied having a better look round the area, North, South, inland etc, than my first visit.
They were happy to bring the car to me at my Hotel in St. C and let me drop the car off at the Airport - someone was there to meet me and check everything over.
It cost me about £96 plus petrol for four days. I was lucky enough to receive a free upgrade as the car I’d pre-booked wasn’t available - Result!!
TS Travel
I’ve just booked a car again with ts travel, I sent a enquiry, received a price , i sent another email to take up offer & received conformation, all in under a hour ! I wish that everyone i do business with in the uk were so attentive.
Atlaschoice
I have just returned from Bulgaria and was so impressed with a car hire firm. I was able to rent a car for 6 days and it cost under 65 pounds with no extras. I had to leave a deposit of 200lv which was refunded on my return. They also saw me to the motorway junction. Later after 2000kms I returned to their office just near to the airport. I booked with www.atlaschoice.com and paid up front the car hire fee. The car was a few years old Renault Clio with a few scratches but otherwise had ac and ran very well. The office was called Carrent
HireMyCar
Just to say we have just used Hire my car - and found them to be great. Danni delivers an excellent service for a lot less than the bigger car hire companies. It definately pays to use a local company rather than the big boys in my opinion as you get the same sort of car but cheaper
Dimex
we have hired a car from dimex in varna bg and we got a corsa for 9 days for 178 euro.the more you use them the more discount they give you we got 10 % this time for third time of using. very reliable
Motoroads
We have hired a car from
http://www.motoroads.com/car-rental-bulgaria-car-rent.html I haven’t used them before, so I’ll have to report back on that.
But, they quoted me 185 eoros for 5 days. Then after I emailed back and said I’d got a cheaper quote elsewhere - they asked me what was the best quote I’d been given, so that they could have a chance to match it.
I got the car (renault symbol) for 143 euros - which I work out to be @ £20 per day (includes pick up and drop off as Burgas airport) Which I thought was a fair price. Glad to say we had no problems at all. Car given was actually better then the one we booked. Swift, no messing about handback at Bourgas airport, and a promise of 10% discount if we use then again
Rent a car Varna
1/. Rent a car Varna - One of the best, not new cars but fairly priced - Tell pavlin (owner) Chris recommended.
2/.We always use rentacar varna, never had any problems with them, not new cars but at a good price clean and reliable along with a very good customer service.
Pavlin is really helpfull

The Song of Bryastovets
Another rent a car company - http://vegercar.com
I must say that my experience with www.drenikov.com is not so positive.
I studied their prices and terms quite carefully (noticing a difference between “summer” and “winter” prices and no mentioning of any airport pick-up charges). Then I booked a car using an internet form (at the beginning of a “winter” period, at Sofia airport) at their site. Then I received their email asking to confirm my booking. In the preliminary invoice they put a “summer” prices and an additional airport charge.
First I thought there was a simple admin mistake. I wrote them a brief letter suggesting to correct those mistakes, and referring to their internet advertising. They did receive my email OK. But they decided simply to ignore me as a client. A couple of other emails from me remained unanswered, too.
I don’t think that they deserve you advertising their services at this page.
