​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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

Excellent experience with Top Rent A Car throughout, from Sofia to Ruse. I had exactly the car I booked with only a few thousands km. Courteous and efficient staff, in Sofia and Ruse. I appreciated the car delivery service to my hotel in Sofia, which was punctual. Ruse location is ideal to drop or pick up your car before visiting respective neighboring countries. Highly recommended car rental company in Bulgaria in our case.

Max speed 45km/h

Very nice and cute vehicle. I enjoyed driving it. The only issue: the max speed is 45km/h and I wasn't informed upon renting it by the staff. So I had to exchange it for another car.

Be careful of the tire scam Insurance

Booked top car rental a couple of times and never had a problem always get the top cover as some of the roads in Bulgaria can be really bad for pot holes as can anywhere So get the extra Insurance for that piece of mind never had to use it. This trip I had to after hitting a pot hole at first everything was great come out within 30 minutes replace the tire payed €140 thinking insurance would pay back dint think anymore. back on the road within an hours great . Time to had the keys back nothing was said soon as I’m at the airport receive an email saying I had to pay for another €150 for another tire as the recovery had replaced was a second had one but would refund for the first one as I can only claim the ones. At no point was I told it was a second had one and there was no spear tire so I couldn’t have replaced it myself. I would have questioned this if I would of know. one for paying €140 for the tire and two because I was making a 150km round trip and there’s tire are just to get you back on the road to the nearest garage to get replaced putting me and my family in danger. Nothing a can do about it now it’s just lost money this is just to warn people about the practice Top cat rental are you to hope this helps someone

​Dear Mr. Bennett,
Thank you for your review and for taking the time to share your feedback with us!
We would like to provide you with additional information regarding the tire incident and the assistance provided during your rental.
Following the reported tire damage, our priority was to arrange assistance as quickly as possible and minimize the disruption to your journey. To achieve this, we located and contacted the nearest available mobile tire service capable of reaching your location within the shortest possible time. The mobile service arrived at your location in approximately 30 minutes, allowing the issue to be addressed promptly and enabling you to continue your trip without significant delay.
Regarding the Top Protection coverage included in your rental agreement, we would like to clarify that this protection limits your liability for tire damage to EUR 120.00, plus an administrative fee of EUR 30.00. In other words, your maximum financial responsibility in such cases is limited to a total of EUR 150.00, regardless of the actual cost of the repair or replacement.
In your particular case, the damaged tire could not be repaired and had to be replaced. Due to the location where the incident occurred and the need to provide the fastest possible solution, the mobile tire service was the most appropriate option available at that time. The total amount paid by you directly to the service provider was EUR 140.00.
Please note that the mobile tire service will issue an invoice directly to our company and send it to our Finance Department. Once received, we will be able to finalize the processing of the case.
As the exact replacement tire matching the damaged one was not immediately available, the service installed a second-hand tire in order to restore the vehicle's mobility and allow you to continue your journey safely.
To resolve the financial aspect of the case, we can offer you the following two options:
Option 1
We reimburse the full amount of EUR 140.00 paid by you to the mobile tire service.
Your contractual liability under the Top Protection coverage will then be applied separately in the amount of EUR 150.00 (EUR 120.00 tire liability + EUR 30.00 administrative fee).
Option 2
The amount already paid by you directly to the mobile tire service (EUR 140.00) is deducted from your contractual liability.
In this case, only the remaining balance of EUR 10.00 will be due.
No reimbursement of the EUR 140.00 paid to the mobile service will be processed.
We kindly ask you to reply to this email and confirm which of the above options you would prefer so that we may proceed accordingly.
Once the payment arrangements have been finalized and the case has been fully settled, we will provide you with an official document confirming that you have no outstanding obligations towards our company.
Please also note that the invoice from the mobile tire service is expected to be received directly by our Finance Department within the next few business days.
We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to your confirmation regarding the preferred option!
Best regards,
Top Rent A Car

4th time customer.

We rented a car for the 4th time. This time a 2023 VW Golf 8 e-tsi automatic. It was a fantastic car. Unfortunately, when picking it up, we didn't have a physical credit card, but a digital one. While we could pay for things with it before without any problems, they strictly adhered to the rules only physical credit cards are allowed. So we were not able to take the car and received no help furthermore with solving the problem. Regarding the rules, I had expected some flexibility. Thanks god there was someone who could come to rescue us with a credit card. A learning experience for both of us. When returning the car, we were kindly and helpfully assisted by Maria and even received a mini Toprentacar toy. A small gesture that puts a smile on our faces. All in all, apart from some struggles at the beginning, a nice company to rent from, with brand new clean cars.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing Top Rent A Car for the fourth time and for taking the time to share your experience.
We are delighted to hear that you were pleased with the vehicle and the overall quality of our fleet. We also appreciate your kind words about our team and the service you received upon returning the car.
We are sorry for the inconvenience you experienced during pick-up. The requirement to present a physical credit card is clearly outlined in our rental terms and conditions and is applied consistently to all customers. This policy is in place for security and verification purposes, and our staff are not authorized to make exceptions, even when a digital card has been successfully used for other types of transactions.
We are pleased that a solution was found and that you were ultimately able to enjoy your rental. We also appreciate you sharing this experience, as it may help future customers prepare the necessary documents before arrival.
Thank you for your continued trust in our services. We are glad that, despite the initial challenge, your overall impression remained positive, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
