Sofia to Stara Zagora on the Trakia motorway
Most of the 240 km is motorway. From Sofia the car joins the Trakia motorway at the eastern edge of the city, crosses the Vakarel ridge and the Trayanovi Vrata pass near Ihtiman, then runs across the Upper Thracian Plain past Pazardzhik and the northern side of Plovdiv. After Chirpan it leaves the motorway and takes the short road north into Stara Zagora, about 2 h 45 min in total.
People book this route to reach a home address, a hotel near the Roman forum of Augusta Traiana in the centre, the university hospital or Trakia University. The pickup can be any address in Sofia, the Central Railway Station or Sofia Airport, where the driver waits after baggage claim with a name sign, so you do not need to cross the city by metro with luggage.
A sedan for up to 4 passengers and 2 large suitcases is from 150 €, the MPV 6+1 with room for up to 4 large suitcases from 180 € and the minibus for up to 8 passengers from 220 €. The price is for the whole car and includes fuel and the motorway vignette. You pay the driver on arrival, and a coffee stop on the way is fine if you ask.
