Quite ok

The car was as excepted - clean, good condition. The service was also great in the moment I got to talk to an employee. But I waited about an hour to get the car. The office was extremely crowded, the online check in didn’t work. This was quite annoying. The drop off was perfect.

First time renting a car

I've received the vehicle I've reserved. Relatively a new vehicle, no issues at all. No problems returning the vehicle, with purchased coverage from them. The only downside was waiting one hour to get the car and 30min for the shuttle to come, don't make plans close to the receiving time.

Dear Mr. Marinov,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're glad to hear that you received a newer vehicle in excellent condition and that both the rental and return process went smoothly, especially with the coverage you chose.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the wait times. During peak periods, higher customer volume and shuttle traffic can occasionally lead to longer waits than we'd like. Our team is continuously working to improve these processes and reduce waiting times for all customers.
Thank you once again for your review and for choosing us. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even smoother experience on your next rental.
Best regards,

The company gave me a car with all four worn tyres, which two were dangerous to drive with and they were almost flat. Unfortunately they did not take the responsibility to help me but blamed first me as they told me it is my fault. With a lot of frustration and back and forth, they Just replaced only 1 tyre.

Do not waste your money here. Unresponsable team.

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.
