🚗 Driver waits at every stopBorder trips possibleFixed price agreed before the trip24/7No prepayment

You can hire a car with driver from Book Transfer for a day, or for several days across the Balkans. You tell us the plan, we confirm a fixed price for the whole trip before you go, and the driver waits for you at every stop. For simple one-way trips the prices are in the table below. For day hire with stops we give a price for your plan, because no two plans are the same.

One-way prices for popular day trips from Sofia

These are one-way prices per car from our price list. A day trip with a return and waiting is priced for your plan; send it to us and you get the price straight away.

How a day with a driver works

You choose where to start, which places to see and when to be back. The driver picks you up at the hotel or the airport, drives you to each place, waits while you visit, and brings you back or on to the next town. You do not need to look for parking, read Cyrillic road signs or return a rental car in another country.

Our angle: the Balkans in one trip

Book Transfer drives across borders every day. That makes a car with driver useful for trips that a rental car makes hard: one day in Skopje and back, Sofia to Thessaloniki with a stop at Melnik or Rupite on the way, or a loop through Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Serbia. With a driver, the border is simply part of the plan.

Ideas for one day from Sofia

• Rila Monastery: about 2:00 hours each way, a full morning or afternoon there.
• Plovdiv: the old town and the Roman stadium, about 1:45 hours on the motorway.
• Koprivshtitsa: a museum town of old houses in the mountains, about 2:00 hours.
• Skopje: across the border to North Macedonia, about 4:00 hours each way; a long but possible day.

Ideas for several days

• Sofia – Skopje – Ohrid and back through Bulgaria.
• Sofia – Thessaloniki – the Halkidiki coast.
• Sofia – Belgrade, or Sofia – Bucharest through Veliko Tarnovo and the Danube Bridge at Ruse.

For trips over several days we confirm the full price before you travel, for all legs together.

Questions travellers ask us

Can I hire a car with driver for a whole day?

Yes. Send us your plan: start time, places, and when you want to be back. We confirm a fixed price for the whole day before the trip.

Is there a price per hour?

We do not publish an hourly price. For city hours or a day with many stops we give a fixed price for your plan, so you know the total in advance.

Can the driver wait while we visit?

Yes. That is the point of a car with driver: the driver waits at each stop and takes you on when you are ready.

Can we cross a border during the trip?

Yes. Our drivers go to North Macedonia, Serbia, Greece, Romania and Turkey. Everyone in the car needs the passport or ID card that their nationality requires for each country.

Can we do a trip over several days?

Yes. For example Sofia – Skopje – Ohrid, or Sofia – Thessaloniki – Halkidiki. Send the route and dates and we confirm the price for the whole trip.

How much is a one-way trip?

One-way prices are in the table on this page, for example Sofia – Rila Monastery 108 € or Sofia – Skopje 196 € by sedan.

Do I pay in advance?

No. There is no prepayment. You pay the driver.

Are child seats free?

Yes. Tell us the age of the children.
