Charges

How much does the service cost?
Airport Transfers costs vary depending on which airport you arrive at. On the booking form you will be asked to choose a service option - each service option is individually priced and you can see that price in the list.

Why does the arrival transfers cost more than the departure transfers?
When your driver picks you up from the airport there is a parking charge (paid by the driver) and also a waiting time (your driver will have to wait for you at the Information desk). The return transfer is much simpler as no extra costs are incurred and there is no waiting time - that is the reason for a slightly lower rate.

How much would it cost if I used an airport taxi instead of your service?
This varies from airport to airport, you would pay approx. 20%-30% more than our rates.

Vehicle Size

How many people can fit in one car?
The transfer options are priced according to the number of passengers. A saloon sized car is used for 1-2 passengers and a larger car with more room and luggage space is used for 3-4 passengers. If there are more than 4 passengers then we would recommend a minibus/people carrier vehicle which can carry 6 people. Alternatively, you can book more than one car, though the people carrier vehicle option is the cheapest option for 6 people.

How much luggage can fit in a vehicle?
The price options take into account the number of passengers and a reasonable amount of luggage - please see question above. If you feel that you have an unusually large amount of luggage, please select a larger vehicle.

Can I book more than one car?
Yes of course, you can book any combination and any amount of cars or minibuses.

Delayed Flights

What happens if my flight is delayed?
Do not worry as this is not a problem. Your driver will keep a check on flight times. He will see from your flight number, and information obtained from the airport if your flight has been delayed. Your driver will arrive at the airport in time for when you arrive. This is the case regardless of how late your flight may be.

Will I be charged extra cost if my flight is delayed?
Absolutely NOT! Your driver will keep a check on the flight and will arrive at the airport in time for your arrival. You will not be kept waiting and your driver will not be inconvenienced in any way.

Driver Knowledge And Flexibility

Will my driver know where my hotel is located?
Your driver will know before you are picked up exactly where you are going to.

What happens if I wish to be taken elsewhere before going to the hotel?
You may arrange this directly with your driver. If you wish to be simply dropped off somewhere in Central Sofia, there will usually be no extra charge for this. However, if you want your driver to take you to one destination and then a second destination, you will be charged extra at the local rate.
