Burgas is the gateway to the entire southern Black Sea coast — Sunny Beach, Nessebar, Pomorie, Sozopol, Primorsko, Tsarevo. Every summer families and groups travel here from Sofia with suitcases, strollers, surfboards and cool bags, and bus and train timetables rarely fit the plan. A private transfer solves that: you get in outside your building in Sofia and get out at the door of your hotel or apartment on the coast.
We use a 9-seat van (up to 8 passengers) with room for both passengers and the whole group's suitcases. For groups with a lot of luggage or bulky items we add a luggage trailer on request. The drive is almost entirely on the Trakia motorway and takes about 4 hours in normal conditions, with one short break halfway.
We run Burgas transfers year-round — not only in summer, but also for business trips, flights from and to Burgas Airport, weddings and family events on the coast, and off-season weekends.
Why book a private transfer
Door to door, no changes
We pick you up from an address in Sofia and drop you straight at your hotel or apartment on the coast. No moving luggage between bus station, taxi and reception.
Easy with children
Child and booster seats on request, room for a stroller and luggage, stops for a break whenever you need. You leave on your schedule, not a timetable.
One trip for the whole group
The price is for the whole van, not per person. For 6 – 8 people a transfer often works out cheaper per person than 8 bus tickets — and you arrive several hours earlier.
Fixed price agreed up front
No per-kilometre metering, no night tariff, no luggage surcharge. We give you the final price before the trip and it does not change.

The Sofia to Burgas road
The route is almost entirely motorway — along the Trakia motorway (A1) from Sofia via Plovdiv and Stara Zagora to the Burgas junction. This is one of the best-maintained roads in the country and summer driving times are predictable; the only real delay comes from heavy holiday traffic towards the coast on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.
| Section | Distance | Approx. time |
|---|---|---|
| Sofia → Plovdiv | ~145 km | ~1h 30min |
| Plovdiv → Stara Zagora | ~90 km | ~50 min |
| Stara Zagora → Burgas | ~150 km | ~1h 30min |
From Burgas to the resorts add a little time: Sunny Beach and Nessebar are ~35 km north (~30 min), Sozopol ~35 km south (~35 min), Primorsko ~55 km (~50 min), Tsarevo ~70 km (~1h). Tell us the exact address and we include that leg in the quote.
To avoid peak traffic, the calmest departure times from Sofia are early morning (before 07:00) or afternoon after 14:00. We advise you on the best time when you book.
