How much does a transfer from Varna Airport to Golden Sands cost?

40 € for the whole sedan, not per person, and 50 € to Albena. The prices come from our Varna Airport price list. They include the driver, fuel, insurance and road tolls, and they do not change at night, at the weekend or with the amount of luggage.

Four friends going to Golden Sands pay 10 € each in a sedan. Four adults with big suitcases, or a family with a pushchair and beach bags, should take the minivan: the sedan takes four passengers, but not always four passengers and all their luggage. More than 8 people? We also have larger buses; the price is on request, as for Mercedes E-Class cars.

The trip back from the resorts to Varna Airport has its own price, which we confirm when you book. Full details and online booking for each route: Varna Airport to Golden Sands and Varna Airport to Albena.

How long is the drive from Varna Airport to Golden Sands and Albena?

About 35 minutes to Golden Sands and about 40 minutes to Albena. Varna Airport is on the western edge of Varna. From there the driver crosses the north of the city and joins the coastal road heading north. Sveti Konstantin and Elena come first, then the entrance to Golden Sands. For Albena the car continues past Kranevo for about another 15 km. There are no motorway sections and no border; the drive is short and mostly along the green coastal hills.

In July and August expect more traffic in Varna and at the resort entrances, especially at weekends, when many holidaymakers arrive and leave. The driver takes the fastest way for the traffic at that moment. Need a quick stop at a supermarket or an ATM? Ask the driver. For the flight home, tell us your departure time and we agree a pick-up time with a buffer for summer traffic and check-in.

Where does the driver meet me at Varna Airport?

In the arrivals hall, after passport control and baggage claim. You get the driver’s name and phone number in advance, so you can call or write to him as soon as you land. We follow your flight: if it lands early or late, the driver adjusts, and if it is delayed, waiting at the airport is free and has no time limit. You do not pay extra because the airline is late.

When we pick you up at an address, for example your hotel on the way back, the driver arrives on time and waits up to 15 minutes. Please send us the exact name of your hotel: both resorts have many hotels, some with similar names, and the right name gets you to the right entrance.

Golden Sands or Albena: how they differ

Golden Sands (Zlatni Pyasatsi)

Golden Sands is the bigger and livelier of the two, just north of Varna. It has a long beach, a large choice of hotels, and plenty of restaurants and bars that stay open late in summer. The green hills of the nature park rise right behind the hotels. It suits couples, groups of friends and anyone who wants Varna close by for a day trip or a night out.

Albena

Albena lies further up the coast, about 15 km beyond Golden Sands. It is quieter and greener, with a wide beach and a gently sloping sea floor, and many visitors come with children. If you want calm evenings and short walks between hotel, pool and beach, Albena is a good fit. Balchik and its botanical garden are a short drive further north.

Between the two lies the village of Kranevo, and south of Golden Sands are Sveti Konstantin and Elena and the Riviera area. We drive to all of them; the prices are in the same airport price list.

Can I bring a pushchair, golf clubs or a pet?

Yes for luggage: tell us about pushchairs, bikes, golf bags or diving kit when you book, and we send a vehicle where everything fits. The driver always helps with the luggage. Bringing a dog or a cat? Tell us in your request and we will confirm the details of the ride.

• Child seats at no extra cost: infant carrier, child seat and booster. Just tell us what you need when you book.
• Groups: up to 8 people ride together in one minibus; two families together often pay less per person than in two cars.

How do I pay?

You pay the driver at the end of the trip. There is no prepayment and no deposit: you book, we confirm the fixed price, and nothing is charged before you reach your hotel. If you need a receipt or an invoice for your company, tell us when you book.

Who will drive you

True Drivers began in 2015 as a company of two drivers, Pavel and David, who drove the first transfers themselves. Today we work with a group of sedans, minivans, buses and Mercedes S-Class and E-Class cars, so there is a vehicle for every group, from a couple to a wedding party. Most holidaymakers arrive at Varna between May and October; outside summer many hotels in both resorts close, so check that yours is open. We work 24/7, all year, so a night landing is no problem.

1. Send us the date, your flight number, the resort and hotel name, and the number of passengers and suitcases.
2. We confirm the fixed price and the details in the chat or by e-mail.
3. The driver waits for you in arrivals. You pay the driver at the end of the trip.
