How much does a transfer from Plovdiv to Burgas cost?

160 € for the whole sedan, door to door, whatever the hour. The price is for the vehicle, not per person, and it includes the driver, fuel, insurance and road tolls. All prices on this page come from our Plovdiv price list.

Nessebar costs the same as Sunny Beach: 180 € by sedan, 250 € by minivan and 280 € by minibus. Ravda and Sveti Vlas are also 180 € by sedan, Pomorie is 170 € (270 km, about 3 hours) and Primorsko 200 €. Four friends going to Sunny Beach pay 45 € each in a sedan, but if each of them has a big suitcase, take the minivan: four seats do not always mean four large bags in the boot.

Flying into Plovdiv instead of starting in the city? Our Plovdiv Airport price list has the same prices to Burgas and the coast, and the guide Plovdiv Airport transfers explains the pick-up there.

How long is the drive from Plovdiv to Burgas?

About 2 hours 45 minutes for 255 km, almost all of it on the Trakia motorway (A1). From Plovdiv the driver heads east past Stara Zagora and Nova Zagora, crosses the flat Thracian plain and reaches Burgas along the lakes on the western side of the city. There is no border and no mountain pass on this route, so the time is steady all year.

For Sunny Beach and Nessebar the car continues north along the coast past Pomorie, and for Sozopol it turns south after Burgas; both take about 3 hours 15 minutes in total. On Friday afternoons in July and August the coastal roads near the resorts are busier, so allow a little more time. Want a coffee break at a motorway petrol station, or a stop in Stara Zagora? Just tell the driver.

Where does the driver pick me up?

At any address in Plovdiv you give us: your home, hotel, the railway station or an office. The driver arrives at the agreed time and waits up to 15 minutes at the address. You get his name and phone number before the trip, so you can call him if you are running late or need to change something.

On the way back from Burgas Airport the driver meets you in the arrivals hall. We follow your flight, and if it is delayed the waiting is free, with no time limit.

The way back: from Burgas and the coast to Plovdiv

The return trip has its own row in our Burgas price list, which starts at Burgas Airport:

Burgas Airport to Plovdiv is 255 km and about 2 hours 45 minutes. From a hotel in Burgas, Sunny Beach, Nessebar or Sozopol we confirm the price for the trip back when you book, before you travel. Prices between the two directions are not always symmetrical, so please do not assume the same price from every resort.

Sunny Beach, Nessebar or Sozopol from Plovdiv

From Plovdiv the three resorts cost the same, so you can choose by mood, not by price.

Sunny Beach

The largest resort on the coast, with a long sandy beach, plenty of hotels and a lively evening promenade. If you land at Burgas instead, read our guide Burgas Airport to Sunny Beach and Nessebar.

Nessebar

Right next to Sunny Beach, on a small peninsula with an old town of stone houses and churches. Some streets in the old town are closed to cars, so the driver stops as close to your hotel as the road allows.

Sozopol

South of Burgas, quieter, with an old town on the rocks and beaches around the new town. For arrivals by plane see Burgas Airport to Sozopol transfer.

Can I bring bikes, a pushchair or a dog?

Yes, as long as we know before the trip. Pushchairs, bikes, surfboards and golf bags fit when we send the right vehicle, so list them when you book. Infant carriers, child seats and boosters are free; tell us how many you need. For a pet, write to us with the size of the animal and we tell you how it can travel.

• Groups: up to 8 people ride in one minibus. Larger groups and Mercedes E-Class or S-Class cars are on request.
• Night trips: early flights from Burgas or late arrivals at the sea are normal for us; we work 24/7.

How do I pay?

You pay the driver at the end of the trip. There is no prepayment and no deposit: we confirm the fixed price in writing and you pay only when you arrive. Need an invoice for your company? Mention it when you book.

Who will drive you

True Drivers started in 2015 with two drivers, Pavel and David, who drove the first transfers themselves. Today we are a group with sedans, minivans, buses and Mercedes S-Class and E-Class cars. We drive the Plovdiv to Burgas road all year: in summer for holidays, in the other months for business trips and flights. Coming from Sofia? See Sofia to Burgas and Sunny Beach transfer; for trips inside Thrace, Sofia to Stara Zagora transfer.

Can I book a one-way trip only?

Yes. Every price on this page is for one direction. You can book only the trip to the sea, only the trip back, or both at once.
