Taxi

There are always plenty of taxi drivers waiting right in the airport concourse offering a ride into town.

We recommend that you go outside the concourse and use the official yellow taxis directly. However, even with these you cannot expect a metered ride, but you must agree on a price with the taxi driver.

The normal price from the airport to the centre of Plovdiv is 20 eur.

Mobile ride-sharing apps like Bolt or Uber don't work in Plovdiv yet.

Car rental

There are several local car rental counters in the terminal. Other multinational car rental companies use a service called Meet & Greet, i.e. a car rental employee will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall with a sign with your name on it.

Prices for a weekly rental are around 125 eur to 200 eur.
