Be extremely careful if you are picking…

Be extremely careful if you are picking up a vehicle from Top Rent A Car Bulgaria during nighttime hours. We rented a Dacia and the handover took place in pitch-black conditions, making it physically impossible to inspect the lowest horizontal elements of the undercarriage.

When we returned the car in daylight, the agent looked right under the bumper and found a small plastic scratch. For a budget car like a Dacia, minor scratches underneath are just NORMAL TEAR AND WEAR from everyday driving on the road. You cannot see this in the dark.
They did not show us any photos of the underside from before our rental. They only had a paper agreement with no marks there.

They charged a massive €240 for this. This price is crazy and way too high. In Bulgaria for low budget car like Dacia, a local garage charges only €25 to €50 to fix a bumper corner, and even a full professional repaint tops out at €180. They are overcharging tourists for invisible road wear to make extra money.
I've read the previous reviews and it looks like they target foreigners to charge extra, be careful especially with Dimitry.

Advice to future renters: Avoid this company if your flight lands at night. If you have no choice, crawl on your hands and knees with your phone flashlight and photograph the absolute bottom of the bumpers before driving away!

Update: Regarding Top Rent A Car Bulgaria responce
Your corporate response completely misses the point and only confirms your predatory tactics. You openly admit that returning a car in daylight reveals details that were impossible to see during your nighttime handover.Suggesting that a customer arriving on a late-night flight should crawl on the asphalt in pitch darkness with a phone flashlight to inspect the hidden underside of a bumper is absolutely absurd. It proves you knowingly pass off pre-existing, invisible underside wear-and-tear to the next unsuspecting tourist who lands at night.You claim your process is "standardized," but charging an inflated fee for a minor cosmetic scrape on the bottom plastic of a bumper is a clear, bad-faith cash grab. We provided you with clear explanations, yet you chose to ignore them and force-charge our card anyway.This isn't about your "standard procedures"—it is about a total lack of trust, respect, and business ethics.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback in detail.
We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand that returning a vehicle under daylight conditions may reveal details that were not easily noticeable during nighttime pick-up. However, we would like to clarify that our rental and inspection procedures are designed to ensure fairness and consistency for all customers, regardless of the time of handover.
At the time of pick-up, each customer is given the opportunity and responsibility to inspect the vehicle together with our representative and to note any visible damage in the rental agreement. We always strongly encourage clients to carefully review all external parts of the vehicle, including lower areas where possible, and to raise any concerns before departure. Once the vehicle is accepted without remarks, it is considered to be handed over in the recorded condition.
Regarding the damage assessment upon return, all vehicles are inspected according to a standardized internal procedure. Any identified damage is evaluated based on the documented condition report at pick-up, return inspection, and available photographic evidence. Charges are not applied arbitrarily, but strictly in accordance with the rental terms and the actual repair assessment, in order to ensure transparency and consistency across all cases.
We also want to address your concern regarding inspection conditions at night. While lighting conditions can sometimes make inspection more difficult, customers are always welcome to request additional time or assistance from our staff to thoroughly check the vehicle before acceptance. We also encourage the use of mobile phone flashlights for closer inspection where needed.
With regard to pricing, any damage charges reflect the professional repair assessment and include not only parts and labor, but also administrative and processing costs associated with handling the case. These are applied uniformly and are not based on customer nationality or other personal factors.
We strongly reject any suggestion that customers are treated differently based on origin. All clients are subject to the same procedures, standards, and documentation requirements.
Your feedback has been forwarded to the relevant department for internal review, as we continuously work to improve both our processes and customer communication.
Thank you again for your comments. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future and provide a clearer
Best regards,
Top Rent A Car

I use these on a regular basis

I use these on a regular basis, because of their efficiency and reliability. Never any hassles, always honest and polite. They may seem to not be the cheapest...but after having used other companies, I say they are very good value for money.

Two week car rental at Burgas airport

The company offered online check in, which sped up the pick up process.
The car was as booked (Huynday Tucson), a 2025 model in decent condition with all previous body marks clearly flagged in advance.
The return was smooth was well - there was a staff member well after office closing time and the return tool less than 10mind between car check and deposit unblocking.
The Company was great and I also saw a lot of their cars around the country, which would suggest they must be doing well and having good business practices.
Will look to rent with them again in the future.

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Experience with Top Rent A Car Sofia

​I recently rented a Hyundai Tucson from Top Rent A Car at their Sofia Airport location, and the entire experience was absolutely flawless from start to finish.
​The vehicle met every single specification promised during the booking process. It even included the beautiful panorama roof exactly as shown in their description, which was a wonderful bonus for our trip. Driving the Tucson was an absolute pleasure; it performed wonderfully across all terrains. Thanks to the four-wheel drive (4WD), we had no trouble climbing steeper routes and felt like we could go anywhere with total confidence.
​The car is incredibly spacious and comfortable. It easily accommodated our group of four adults and one child, along with all of our luggage—which included three or four 10 kg cabin bags plus everyone's individual small personal bags. Nobody felt cramped, and the trunk space was perfect for our needs.
​We opted for their Premium Coverage package, which gave us total peace of mind throughout the journey. When it came time to head home, the drop-off process was entirely uneventful and stress-free. We returned the vehicle with a full tank of gas. The staff quickly stepped out to inspect the car, confirmed everything was perfect, and immediately processed the credit card transaction to return our security deposit right then and there. The entire return happened without a single problem or delay.
​To top it all off, within just five minutes of completing the paperwork, we were loaded onto their shuttle and taken straight to the airport terminal.
​Exceptional service, transparent procedures, and a fantastic, reliable vehicle. Thank you, Top Rent A Car—I will definitely choose you again for my next trip to Bulgaria!

Avoid at all costs - license plate fell off after 3h, charged 500EUR for their own negligence

I have rented cars across multiple EU and non EU countries and this was without question the worst experience I have ever had.

Within 24 hours of completely normal driving the entire license plate mounting fell off, not just the plate, the entire mount. Photos clearly show visibly damaged and deformed screw holes, evidence of a botched job that should never have passed any pre-rental inspection.

Instead of taking responsibility for their failure to maintain the vehicle they charged us 500 EUR in fees and forced us to drive back to Sofia wasting a full day and significant costs for two people.

I have rented from Hertz, Europcar, Sixt and many local companies across Europe. Never once have I encountered a company that responds to their own maintenance failure by penalising the customer.

If you have any alternative option for renting in Bulgaria please take it. I want to believe this was an isolated botched job but after hearing about other cases I am starting to think this is simply how they operate.

​Dear Mr. Frontczak,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We are sorry to hear that your experience with us has left you with a negative impression.

We would like to clarify that a review of all available data in regards to the vehicle condition of the vehicle before and at the beginning of your rental has been conducted.

Following this review, we have established that the vehicles condition was not prerequisite for losing the plate number.

For this reason, our colleagues have applied charges in accordance with the Official Price List, which forms an integral part of the Rental Agreement.

We would also like to note that an alternative option for a solution has been offered to you. Unfortunately, this seemed impossible for you. Therefore, we could not do anything else to assist you further.

We truly appreciate your feedback, and hope for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Top Rent A Car

Very poor customer service at the main office in Sofia.

The reservation voucher didn't indicate the correct drop-off location, since they don't accept car returns at either Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 at Sofia Airport, but when you pick up the car, they don't tell you this, and it isn't listed on the reservation sheet either. You have to return the car to their main office, which is about 5 km from Terminal 2. We found this out when we saw that it was time for the office at Terminal 1 to open, but no one showed up. We had to call the customer service line, and the service from Top Rent A Car in Bulgaria was terrible—they were rude and showed no willingness to cooperate or help. When we finally managed to return the car, they made no effort to help us catch the shuttle that was waiting to take us to the airport; instead, they made us wait more than 20 minutes for the airport shuttle to return. We managed to get there and catch our flight with just half an hour to spare. Very poor customer service at the main office at Sofia Airport.

DAYS WITHOUT CAR AND HOLIDAY RUINED

I have used this Company a few times and would have used them more until it came to this year.
I booked a car for 7 days and after 3 days the car broke down....it was unfit for purpose....my wife and i had planned a trip to the lakes on the weekend after working.
We were told to take photos and send them, try to mess with the live battery(?), leave the car for a period to reset and then after all of that didnt work drive it to a garage (3.5 hours wasted) On the way to the garage on a dangerous road it broke down.....(1.5 hours later) a van collected it and we were left to walk 35 minutes into town to get a 35 euro taxi home.....day No 1 gone.
We were offered to be driven by the pick up the 2 hour journey to Plovdiv to possibly(?) Collect a car that night(never) or on the Sunday (?) but the night in Plovdiv would have been at our cost and the petrol and 2.5 hours up the mountain also at our cost OR have a car delivered the following morning. Ok thank you......
The car DIDNT turn up the following day (2 whole days and 35 euros down) but on the following day Monday (18 hours before returning it back to them).
Ivan from customer services stated that in their TERMS AND CONDITIONS they have 3 days in which to replace their rental car that was unfit for purpose so paying for 7 days meant we got it for 5 days and 35 euros down, ruined the whole weekend......what did they offer us.....19.2 euros.....not the taxi fare, not the rental and TOP INSURANCE we paid for......we will NEVER USE THEM AGAIN.......the reason why we pay for TOP INSURANCE is so we get a car for the period we have paid for however TOP RENT A CAR think its ok that they supply an unfit for purpose car, you pay the full amount and they can leave you stranded without a car for days, ruin your holiday as its in their terms and conditions!
BEWARE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.....USE EURO CAR OR SOMEONE ELSE!

Your reply is a lie.
Your vehicle originally broke down at 12.28 midday Saturday of which you told us to lock up amd let reset (2 hours later at 15.01 the vehicle was started and broke down for good and we have messages from then....the tow truck arrived nearly 2 hours later) we have proof of whats app messages to and from your agent so dont lie to make yourselves look better.
You supposedly (not received) refunded 19.2 euro which IS NOT A days rental with insurance despite it neing 2 days and 35 euro taxi fare......you are liars!
Your covers states 24/7 on your adverts!

Dear Adrian,
We regret that this situation left you feeling disappointed and that it affected your holiday plans.

The vehicle provided was a 2025 model and is still under manufacturer warranty. Unfortunately, technical issues can occur unexpectedly even with newer vehicles, and such faults are not always possible to predict or prevent.

The issue was reported on 20 June at approximately 17:30, outside our working hours and during the weekend. That same evening, we offered you the possibility to travel with the roadside assistance vehicle to our Plovdiv office, where a replacement vehicle could have been arranged considerably sooner. However, this option was clearly declined.

Under the rental agreement, replacement vehicles are normally provided at the nearest available office rather than delivered to the customer’s location. Nevertheless, although the location was outside our office network and the faster replacement option in Plovdiv was declined, we arranged for a replacement vehicle to be delivered directly to you.

The replacement vehicle was delivered on 22 June at approximately 14:00, less than 48 hours after the issue was reported, during a non-working period. We recognise that this was inconvenient; however, a faster solution required cooperation from both sides.

As a gesture of goodwill, we refunded the value of one rental day. We remain confident that our team made every reasonable effort to find a solution under the circumstances, including arranging delivery outside our standard replacement procedure.
Best Regards,
Top Rent A Car
