Location Guides for Compare Car Rentals

Bulgaria

Bulgaria car rental

Canadians heading to Europe do well with a visit Bulgaria thanks to longstanding favorable rates against the Canadian dollar because of the lack of the Euro currency there. The Lev allows travelers to let their vacation budget spread widely and that is a large reason why there are many tourists that go there each year.

As the country is so diverse with its attractions from sunny beaches to snowy mountains inland, car rental in Bulgaria is a popular choice. For Canadians, it’s a good idea to compare car rental before traveling to ensure you’re getting the best prices; fees for rental cars can go up if you arrive in high season and haven’t pre-booked.

Tourists’ favorites

Using a hire car, tourists tend to visit the coastal cities of Varna and Burgas and usually arrive by plane into these areas. The Black Sea offers stunning views, warm waters in the summer and beautiful beaches. Further inland, near Blagoevgrad, there are gorgeous mountains that offer skiing and snowboarding.

There are many modern shopping malls, markets and outlets to stock up and fill your suitcases with new clothes, electronics and gifts, thanks to the great deals on offer.

Best time to stay

The winters are mild but quite wet, unless you’re in the mountains where snowfall is abundant. The summers are warm enough for sunbathing at the beaches, but not overly humid. There are no visa requirements for Canadian travelers and it depends if you’re a skier or a sun-worshipper to decide on when is best to go throughout the year. One of the best times to go is July or August when other European tourists go there. That way you can meet new people from France or England and enjoy a more diverse mix of characters.
