Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Plovdiv are: Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Peugeot 807 7 seater, Citroen Picasso, VW Kombi 8 Seater, Toyota Minibus and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Bulgaria is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.
Please note, that in order to rent in Bulgaria a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Plovdiv.
Before leaving the parking garage in Plovdiv, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Note that it is always very hard to find a free parking space in the center of large cities. Therefore, many experienced drivers prefer to leave the car parked in a suburban area, then get to the downtown by public transport. It should be noted that this solution is also quite advantageous in terms of cost.
While driving, it is possible to use sound signals only in case of a serious danger. If you honk without any particular need, you can be fined in the amount of 10 lev.
Drivers should be particularly careful when driving on road sections with pedestrian crossings. If you pass a red light or do not give way to pedestrians, this may result in a fine of 50 leva. Pedestrians have the advantage on the road. Drivers need to give way to them even if there is no “zebra” marking on the road.
