How this company uses Trustpilot
See how their reviews and ratings are sourced, scored, and moderated.
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!
I have used this Company a few times and would have used them more until it came to this year.
I booked a car for 7 days and after 3 days the car broke down....it was unfit for purpose....my wife and i had planned a trip to the lakes on the weekend after working.
We were told to take photos and send them, try to mess with the live battery(?), leave the car for a period to reset and then after all of that didnt work drive it to a garage (3.5 hours wasted) On the way to the garage on a dangerous road it broke down.....(1.5 hours later) a van collected it and we were left to walk 35 minutes into town to get a 35 euro taxi home.....day No 1 gone.
We were offered to be driven by the pick up the 2 hour journey to Plovdiv to possibly(?) Collect a car that night(never) or on the Sunday (?) but the night in Plovdiv would have been at our cost and the petrol and 2.5 hours up the mountain also at our cost OR have a car delivered the following morning. Ok thank you......
The car DIDNT turn up the following day (2 whole days and 35 euros down) but on the following day Monday (18 hours before returning it back to them).
Ivan from customer services stated that in their TERMS AND CONDITIONS they have 3 days in which to replace their rental car that was unfit for purpose so paying for 7 days meant we got it for 5 days and 35 euros down, ruined the whole weekend......what did they offer us.....19.2 euros.....not the taxi fare, not the rental and TOP INSURANCE we paid for......we will NEVER USE THEM AGAIN.......the reason why we pay for TOP INSURANCE is so we get a car for the period we have paid for however TOP RENT A CAR think its ok that they supply an unfit for purpose car, you pay the full amount and they can leave you stranded without a car for days, ruin your holiday as its in their terms and conditions!
BEWARE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.....USE EURO CAR OR SOMEONE ELSE!
Your reply is a lie.
Your vehicle originally broke down at 12.28 midday Saturday of which you told us to lock up amd let reset (2 hours later at 15.01 the vehicle was started and broke down for good and we have messages from then....the tow truck arrived nearly 2 hours later) we have proof of whats app messages to and from your agent so dont lie to make yourselves look better.
You supposedly (not received) refunded 19.2 euro which IS NOT A days rental with insurance despite it neing 2 days and 35 euro taxi fare......you are liars!
Your covers states 24/7 on your adverts!

Booked top car rental a couple of times and never had a problem always get the top cover as some of the roads in Bulgaria can be really bad for pot holes as can anywhere So get the extra Insurance for that piece of mind never had to use it. This trip I had to after hitting a pot hole at first everything was great come out within 30 minutes replace the tire payed €140 thinking insurance would pay back dint think anymore. back on the road within an hours great . Time to had the keys back nothing was said soon as I’m at the airport receive an email saying I had to pay for another €150 for another tire as the recovery had replaced was a second had one but would refund for the first one as I can only claim the ones. At no point was I told it was a second had one and there was no spear tire so I couldn’t have replaced it myself. I would have questioned this if I would of know. one for paying €140 for the tire and two because I was making a 150km round trip and there’s tire are just to get you back on the road to the nearest garage to get replaced putting me and my family in danger. Nothing a can do about it now it’s just lost money this is just to warn people about the practice Top cat rental are you to hope this helps someone

rented a car specifically to travel from Burgas to Istanbul. Completed all documents that clearly showed I was a UK citizen and lived in the UK. Paid an additional €80 to travel cross border. Very disappointed to arrive at the Bulgarian / Turkish border to find out that UK citizens cannot take a Bulgarian hire car into Turkey. Had to leave car at border and travel to/from border by taxi - cost €450 in total. I was very surprised that your company did not know travel regulations. I understand I sighed a waiver “you cannot guarantee that I could cross the border” but I believe I should have been advised that it’s actually not possible to cross border. Very disappointed with the service provided. I suggest you ask the correct questions when taking booking from UK citizens when hiring a vehicle from you.

Visited turkey as a football fan
Was given write confirmation we was allowed over the border to turkey
They provided all documentation
But conveniently turkey do not allow uk visitors with a car
This company knowingly allowed over 25 car rentals this week to be stopped at the border and to take good customer money
We had to get a return taxi to Istanbul for 750 euro
Avoid rentacar at all costs
Don not use English people
My name is mark tapp

I was driving my car for over 5 days, In the morning the key and the car don’t work, when trying to use the insurance you pay for, they send you to external services instead of being helpful!!!! Worst car service in the world!!!!!!

Reservation No. 141025854 – extremely disappointed.
I rented an Opel Corsa and paid extra for Top Protection (€11.70/day), which according to their terms covers wheel and tire damage. Despite this, I was charged a €200 deposit for a minor cosmetic scratch on a rim and received only an internal “damage/tax report” and internal invoice, without any external repair invoice.
I have photos showing the condition of the car at pick-up and have already filed a complaint with the Consumer Protection Commission. My bank has been informed and confirmed that the refund should be processed by November 3rd.
I strongly recommend taking detailed photos when picking up and returning the car and being very cautious with their internal “fee” system.

There was transit awaiting my arrival at the airport which took me to the office, getting the car was quick and easy. I had a Clio which didi the job, it was nice and clean and full of fuel. The staff are very welcoming, polite and attentive. Returning the car was the seam experience with the staff with a shuttle service to the airport. Would definitely recommend and use them again

I rented a car for a week in July '25. I had my own excess insurance. The agent was very pushy trying to sell their excess insurance when I picked up car. I told him I didn't need it. I had a very bad feeling at this stage. I've rented cars all over the world and never felt this way. I even commented to my wife that this is not going to end well. So I was not surprised when I returned the car to be told that I had damaged it and I had to pay 220e. The staff member had told me to wait in the office while he checked the car. I foolishly did, I should have watched him inspect the car because I honestly would not be surprised if he scratched the car himself, he's probably on a commission! When he came back to the office he claimed I caused a 2cm scuff to the rear bumper. I had taken numerous photos when picking up the car but the "damage" was so low down my pictures did not cover it. Even when i tried to take photos of the "damage" you could not see it be because it was so faint. I had to take a close up of the exact spot just to see it. l asked for evidence that it was not damaged before I rented, the agent then showed me a photo but when I asked to see when the photo was taken he told it was taken in February!! He must of thought I was an idiot!!! Any way unfortunately there was nothing I could do as they had a 400e charge on my credit card and i would not get the documentation i need to claim from my insurance unless I signed the paper work saying I returned the car with the damage. So they basically have tou everyway! My advice is do not rent from these cowboys. They will rip you off. They also trade as Low Cost Cars. Avoid at all costs if you do not want to be scammed. In the end I was charged 170e for the damage. I know its not a lot of money but its the point, it makes me so angry that they can scam tourists so easily and get away with this blatant fraud!!!! If even one person takes my advice it will be worth it. Pay the extra money and do your business with a reputable company not these gangsters!!!!

The car broke down due to no fault of my own it was reported at 9am.The mechanic arrived 8 hours later and couldn't fix the car. He demanded 15 euros call out fee even though I had paid for expensive full insurance. I terminated the contract and cancelled all future bookings as a result. Disgusting treatment after using for 15 years.

It's a shame that the company Top Cars Bulgaria wants to charge us 50 euros for the lack of a sticker that they themselves put on as advertising. That is not damage to the car! Scammers! The sticker was not removed by me! They are inventing a story to charge us!!!

My card details including my 3 digit security code was taken and when I complained the man told me that he will cancel the appointment even if I have paid in advance and from the office asked the desk clerks to take the details including the 3 digit security code and if I don't agree to give my details I would not receive the car. The car I have booked was guaranteed model and make up. That never happened I was given a car which I don't want. Signing in to receive the car took 55 minutes due to the desk clerk had issues knowing how to use the tablet. Then the keys was handled to me and the clerk didn't wanted to come and show me the car and check the condition with me he just asked me to sign the documents without even seen the car.
The deposit I was aware that will be taken was €200 instead i was charged with 400 leva which is over €200.
On the counter is written NO CASH but on the contract there is cash payment option. It was a scratch on the car which wasn't described in the signing in report and the signing in man said that this is not important and he can't add it so I took pictures in details of the whole car.
Signing out was peace of cake I'd say THANK YOU to Mr Dimitar Stavrev who made the signing out process easy and quick with a lot of understanding.
I would advise everyone who wants to rent a car Not to give the 3 digit security code on the back of the card to the staff as this is absolutely illegal.
I took the car from Bourgas airport.

Best rental car company in Bulgaria, without no doubt. I have used Top Rent a Car for many years, and have always been satisfied with both the cars and help from the personal. Both booking and delivery of the cars have always gone smoothly, but in the latest years the paperwork is more electronic and efficient than ever, approving they want to make the booking and delivery of the cars much more efficient and faster than ever. Just remember to buy insurance through the company, and not through some flight booking homepage. This will make your life much more easier in case something should happen. 😊
Great car, top-notch service rendered by the on-site staffer and incredible on-line/telephone support.

I had a very positive experience with the Peugeot 206 GT. The driving experience was enjoyable, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, as they have been in the past. As a repeat customer, I am consistently impressed with the overall experience. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone involved in my interactions. I look forward to continuing our business relationship in the future.

Feeling welcomed in a foreign place is important. After all the whole business is customer service interaction. When people travel around the world, the experience is what makes them like or dislike a place, culture or general public. Positive referral has much greater impact to the business.
