Economy

Economy Car Rental in Bulgaria

If your trip calls for a compact, fuel-efficient car rather than a large saloon, the Economy class from SpeedyCars is built exactly for that. These models keep running costs low while still offering air conditioning, safety systems, and automatic transmission as standard across the whole range.

The Volkswagen Polo Automatic is fitted with a 1.0 TSI turbo petrol engine producing around 95 hp, paired with a 7-speed DSG gearbox. Combined fuel consumption sits at roughly 4.7 litres per 100 km, and the boot holds 351 litres, generous for a car of this size.

The Toyota Yaris Hybrid Automatic pairs a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for a combined 116 hp, driven through a smooth e-CVT gearbox. Around town, consumption often drops below 4 litres per 100 km, and its 286-litre boot suits a couple of suitcases.

Both cars share a compact footprint that makes tight parking spaces and narrow old-town streets in cities such as Plovdiv or Veliko Turnovo far less stressful, while still feeling composed at motorway speed on longer routes.

Economy models remain the most budget-friendly choice across our entire fleet, which makes them a natural starting point for anyone comparing rental costs in Bulgaria.

Both cars come from manufacturers with strong service networks in Bulgaria, so spare parts and routine checks are never a concern during a longer stay.

Who Economy Cars Are Right For

Solo travellers and couples arriving through Sofia Airport often start here, since these cars are easy to manage on unfamiliar roads and simple to park near hotels in the city centre.

First-time renters and younger drivers tend to prefer the automatic gearbox and light steering, which make city traffic and roundabouts far less intimidating than in a manual car.

Business visitors on a short trip who do not need a representative saloon also choose this class, since it covers meetings and airport transfers without unnecessary running costs.

If you only need transport between the airport and your hotel rather than a car for the whole stay, our Transfers service may suit you better.

Travelling with more than one large suitcase, or with children who need extra space, is more comfortable in our Compact class, which adds boot space for a modest difference in price.

Drivers planning a route into the mountains or along gravel tracks should instead look at our SUV class, which offers higher ground clearance.

Groups of two adults with light luggage, such as a weekend city break, are the ideal match for this class rather than a long, heavily loaded family trip.

What Is Included in Your Rental

Every Economy class booking includes full insurance and unlimited mileage, so there is no separate charge if your route takes you well outside Sofia.

Roadside assistance is available around the clock across Bulgaria, and a replacement car is arranged quickly if a technical issue ever takes yours off the road.

Every Economy rental booked through SpeedyCars includes the following extras and protections as standard:

• Full insurance and civil liability cover;
• Unlimited mileage across Bulgaria;
• 24-hour roadside assistance;
• A valid road vignette for the whole rental period;
• Winter equipment during the colder months.

Pick-up can be arranged at our Sofia office or delivered to your address, and the full cost is confirmed in writing before you collect the keys.

A security deposit is held at pick-up and released automatically once the car is returned in the condition it was collected in.

Card payment is accepted at pick-up, and a printed or emailed copy of the agreement is provided so you always have proof of what was agreed.

Current rates for the Economy class, along with any seasonal offers, are listed on our Prices page.
