The short answer
A taxi from Sofia Airport to Borovets costs 66 EUR and to Bansko 95 EUR in a sedan for up to 4 passengers; the price is for the whole vehicle, not per skier. Borovets is about 75 km and usually 1 h 30 min away, Bansko about 160 km and usually 2 h 15 min. Your English-speaking driver meets you in arrivals with a sign showing your name, waiting at the airport is free when your flight is delayed, child seats are free, and there is no prepayment.

Borovets or Bansko: what changes for your transfer
If you have not picked your resort yet, the transfer is worth a thought. Borovets sits in the Rila mountains, roughly half the distance from the airport compared with Bansko. After an evening flight from London, that shorter drive gets you to the hotel sooner. Bansko, below the Pirin mountains, is a longer trip south, but it is a proper old town with a ski area above it, and many UK groups are happy to trade the extra time on the road for that.
The road to Borovets
From the airport the driver takes the ring road around Sofia and heads south-east to Samokov, then climbs through pine forest to the resort. It is a short mountain road, but it is the part where snow can slow things down, so on a heavy snow day allow a little extra time.
The road to Bansko
For Bansko the car goes south on the Struma motorway, then turns east over the Predela pass towards Razlog and Bansko. Most of the trip is motorway, and the mountain section comes near the end. On a busy changeover Saturday in peak season, the drive can take a little longer than the usual 2 h 15 min.
Need a stop on the way, for example for food shopping before the resort? Tell us when you book and we include it in the plan and the price. Both routes work the other way too, from the resort back to Sofia Airport.
Ski bags and the right vehicle
Ski bags are long and boot bags are bulky, so the number of passengers is only half of the question. Tell us how many ski or snowboard bags and suitcases you are bringing, and we confirm a vehicle that takes everything in one trip.
- Sedan / Estate, up to 4: for couples and small groups travelling light on equipment.
- Minivan, long base, up to 6: the one to book for four people with skis.
- Minibus, long base, up to 8: up to eight skiers with their bags, still one price for the whole vehicle.
More than eight? See ski group transfers; larger groups are priced on request.
Going home
For the return trip, work backwards from your departure time: the drive itself, a margin for snow on the mountain road, and the time your airline needs for bag drop. Our coordinator suggests an exact pickup time when you book. Booking both directions in one request is the easiest option, but you can also add the return later from the resort: just call or message us.
