* Prices come from the Unitrans price list and are per vehicle, not per person. Burgas to Plovdiv costs the same, and so do trips to and from Burgas Airport. A night transfer costs the same as a daytime one, and traffic does not change the price. Four people sharing a car pay €40 each.
Burgas Airport is in Sarafovo, about 10 km north of the city centre. In season it handles many charter flights, and a lot of them land late in the evening or at night. Your driver meets you at the airport and heads straight for Plovdiv, so there is no need to go into Burgas for a bus or a train.
When you book, give us your flight number. We follow the flight, and if it is delayed your driver waits at the airport at no extra cost, with no time limit.
Child seats at no extra charge. Just tell us the child’s age.
The drive is simple: almost the whole way is the Trakia motorway (A1). From Plovdiv it runs east past Chirpan, Stara Zagora, Nova Zagora and Yambol, then drops down past the Burgas lakes into the city. Without stops it takes about 2 hours 45 minutes. Your driver drops you at the exact address you gave us: a hotel, an apartment, the port or the airport.
