Bulgaria at a Continental Crossroads

From online travel and tourism resources: The Republic of Bulgaria is located on the Balkan Peninsula. Surrounding Bulgaria is Serbia and Macedonia to the west, Romania to the north, Turkey and Greece to the south, as well as the Black Sea on its eastern border. It is a cultural melting pot with Greek, Slavic, Ottoman, and Persian influences.

The capital of Bulgaria is Sofia, which is home to about one-fifth of the total population of 6.88 million. The second-largest city is Plovdiv, located in central Bulgaria and has a population of about 350,000 people. Other major cities include Varna on the Black Sea coast, Burgas on the Bulgarian.

Expanding and Diversifying the Rental Fleet

Top Rent A Car regularly turns over its fleet, which means they replace their vehicles with newer models regularly. This practice helps the company provide its customers with the highest level of service possible and achieve great consistency.

Every vehicle in the company's fleet is equipped to a high standard, meeting the stringent European regulations for harmful emissions and providing exceptional safety and comfort.

In addition to the wide range of standard vehicles available, including hatchbacks, sedans, station wagons, passenger vans, and SUVs, Top Rent A Car also offers electric cars, hybrids, and light trucks. This diverse selection ensures that customers have access to vehicles that align with their specific needs and preferences while promoting eco-friendly transportation options.
