Hire a car in Sofia and benefit from our fleet of premium cars and 24/7 Customer Service, so whether you’re looking for compact vehicles or luxury MPVs, you’ll find something that fits your budget, with no hidden costs at the end.

SIXT services in Sofia

One-day rentals and weekend rentals are popular with tourists visiting Sofia and its surrounding areas. Take your Sofia car hire to the next level and choose from a range of bookable extras, such as Wi-Fi, sat nav and unlimited mileage. If your plan is to visit the historic centre, a compact car is the best choice as it can fit into tighter spaces and find better parking spots. However, for those wishing to travel around the country, SUVs are the preferred choice as they provide more comfort over longer distances.

What to do while in Sofia

There is plenty to do in Sofia for all travellers: history-lovers shouldn’t miss the St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral and St. George Rotunda in the city centre, and should pay a visit to the city of Plovdiv, best reached by car (1h 30min journey). To enjoy green spaces inside the city, there’s no better place than the iconic Borisova Gradina park. For nature and hiking lovers, the best option is to take your Sofia car hire outside the capital to the Rila Mountains, about a 2h drive from Sofia.

Winter 2024 in Sofia

Winter in Sofia can be a magical time too, with the popular Christmas market and ice-skating rink in Borisova Gradina attracting thousands of tourists every year. Less than an hour away in your hire , the Vitosha mountains are also buzzing this time of the year, being a hot spot for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. Not to mention the many museums, restaurants and bars which will keep you entertained and warm in Sofia’s below-freezing temperatures.
