Private taxi transfer
Taxi transfer from Sofia to Bansko
~2 h 15 min · 155 km · from 100 €
Sofia to Bansko with a private driver: we pick you up at your address in Sofia and drop you at the door in Bansko. The distance is about 155 km and the trip takes roughly 2 h 15 min without stops. The price is fixed for the whole car - from 100 EUR for a sedan up to 4 passengers - and does not change with traffic, time of day or luggage.
Travelling alone, as a family or in a group? We have sedans, minivans for up to 6 passengers and minibuses for up to 8, so everyone and their luggage travel in one vehicle. The driver is at the address 10 minutes early, and waiting for a delayed flight is free.

Sofia to Bansko from your door in the city
This transfer starts at an address in Sofia rather than at the airport: a hotel in the centre, a flat, an office or the Central Railway Station. It suits people who spend a night or two in the capital before the ski week, and Sofia residents heading up to Bansko for a weekend on the slopes without driving over the mountain pass themselves.
From the city the car takes the Lyulin motorway to Pernik and joins the Struma motorway south past Dupnitsa and Blagoevgrad. At Simitli it leaves the motorway for the Predel pass and comes down through Razlog to Bansko: about 155 km and 2 h 15 min without stops. A stop at Rila Monastery is possible as a detour near Kocherinovo.
The sedan for up to 4 passengers and 2 large suitcases is from 100 €, the MPV 6+1 with room for up to 4 large suitcases is from 140 €, and the minibus for 8 is from 150 €. Prices are per car, fuel and tolls included. In Bansko we drop you at your accommodation, near the gondola or in the old town by the Holy Trinity Church.
