Where to go with your car rental in Bulgaria

Driving in Bulgaria is getting easier than it has been in previous years. Although some of the rural roads can be a little tricky to navigate, the motorways are generally of a good standard. One of the better roads in Bulgaria is the Trakia motorway (A1). If you are starting your journey in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, you can pick up your car hire in Bulgaria there and then and take the A1 motorway to Plovdiv, which is a journey of just over 90 miles. The motorway also continues all the way to the Black Sea resort of Burgas, which is a further 158 miles.
