How much is a transfer from Sofia Airport to Borovets?
| Vehicle | Passengers | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan / Estate | up to 4 | 66 EUR |
| Minivan, long base | up to 6 | 85 EUR |
| Minibus, long base | up to 8 | 95 EUR |
| Group larger than 8 | 9 or more | on request |
Prices are for the whole vehicle and the same in both directions, so a couple travelling light in a sedan pays 66 EUR in total. Four of you with ski or snowboard gear? Book the minivan (85 EUR): the sedan takes up to 4 passengers, but four people with ski gear need the bigger car. More than eight people? Send us the numbers and we will quote on request.
How long is the drive from Sofia Airport to Borovets?
Usually 1 h 30 min for about 75 km. From the airport the driver takes the ring road around Sofia, heads south-east to Samokov and then climbs through pine forest into the Rila mountains to the resort at about 1,350 m.
That last stretch is a short mountain road, and it is where snow can slow things down, so on a heavy snow day allow a little extra time. After an evening flight from London or Manchester, the short drive means you can be at your hotel well before midnight.
Where does the driver meet me?
In the arrivals hall at Sofia Airport. Send us your flight number when you book: our dispatchers follow arriving flights, so if your plane is late the driver simply comes for the real landing time. When the delay is caused by your flight, waiting at the airport is free and has no time limit. You also get the driver’s details on WhatsApp or Viber.
For the trip home, the driver collects you from your hotel in Borovets. At an address the driver waits 15 minutes from the agreed time, so please be ready in the lobby with your skis packed.
Can I bring skis and snowboards?
Yes. When you book, tell us how many ski or snowboard bags, boot bags and suitcases you are bringing, and we will confirm a vehicle that takes everything in one trip.
- Sedan / Estate: fine for two people with skis.
- Minivan, long base: the one to book for four people with ski gear, or up to six adults.
- Minibus, long base: up to eight skiers with their bags, still one price for the whole vehicle.

How do I pay?
On the day of travel, in cash or by card. There is no prepayment, and the price we confirm when you book is the price you pay. Bank transfer is also possible – just tell us what suits you when you book.
Why book direct rather than through a transfer website?
Many transfer websites do not drive anyone themselves: they resell rides from local companies and add their margin. On those sites the same route is usually listed from about 75 EUR and up. When you book with us, you deal directly with the company and the call centre that organise your transfer, and you can call us on +359 897 227 771 before and during your trip.
How do I book?
Send us your hotel in Borovets, both flight numbers, the number of passengers and children, and your ski bags. Call, message us on WhatsApp or use the booking form. We reply almost immediately with the vehicle, the price for the whole vehicle and the pickup times.
Borovets is Bulgaria’s oldest mountain resort, set in pine forest on the northern slopes of Rila below Musala, the highest peak in the Balkans. It is popular with UK skiers for its short transfer, its mix of easy and intermediate runs and its lively après-ski.
