Prices are for the whole vehicle and the same in both directions. Four of you with ski or snowboard gear? Book the minivan (133 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 Bansko?
Usually 2 h 15 min for the roughly 170 km. The driver takes the ring road around Sofia and then the Struma motorway south, before turning east over the Predela pass towards Razlog and Bansko, so most of the trip is motorway and the mountain section comes near the end.
On a busy changeover Saturday in peak season, or after fresh snow, allow a little longer. If you are staying in Razlog, the town just before Bansko on the same road, see our Sofia Airport to Razlog transfer.
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 from the UK 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 Bansko. 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.
