How to find Economy at Sofia Airport
Knowing where to go is the first step to collecting your Economy car rental. You could be heading to an airport pickup point, meeting with a staff member, or taking a shuttle bus to the rental location. Run a car rental search and use the 'Pickup' filter to find out what's available at Sofia Airport.
Airport terminal: Pick up the vehicle right at the terminal area, with the rental counter in or next to arrivals.
Free shuttle bus: This collection option applies when the supplier is based near the airport rather than at it. A free bus runs between the terminal and the rental site.
Meet and greet: A representative meets you in the arrivals hall with the keys and rental paperwork. From there, they'll guide you to your car.
Want to start your trip sooner? Some providers offer self-service pickup, so you can collect your keys from a kiosk or lockbox and skip the rental counter.

Transmission: Choose between 'Automatic' (takes the hassle out of changing gears) and 'Manual' (stick shift). Most car rental providers have both, so use the 'Transmission' filter to find what you prefer.
