Value for money

Collection and drop off great. Car was quite high mileage, but I guess you get what you pay for. Not particularly happy about the 10 euro charge for cleaning, after all I'm not going to try find a car wash at 4am in a country I'm not familiar with. Friendly staff.

Very friendly staff. Picked up promptly from the airport and car hire only a couple of minutes from the airport. Website stated car fuel was 1/4 full and return 1/4 full. But this did not happen. I was told by easirent that I had to pay for 1/4 tank (they charged £20) and return empty. However the tank was not quite 1/4 full.

You are what you say you are

Very easy booking system with clear information. Pick up and drop off were easy. We had a very new car which was above our expectations. An agent was waiting for us at pick up and drop off and dealt with us speedily. Do make sure you have enough credit availability for the guarantee for the excess, if you don't take the extra insurance. we were 100% satisfied.

Could have been better

The website great, easy to book, print vouchers and that's it. Our car-hire company was KlassWagen Auto - positive: easy to collect, polite, friendly customer service. They speak English very well. Car was clean condition. Good fuel policy (full to full), no out of service hours charge - eg: our flight was landed at 9pm and she was very helpful and no extra charge for late collection. Negative: Where to start......well you need to pay 30euro for winter tyre - which let's say fair enough BUT the winter tyre were AWFULLL-NO tread design in the middle at all(it was flat) it's seriously dangerous to drive a car like that in winter/snowy condition. They charge every single time 30euro Why didn't you change the tires?????? The car was so noisy when we were sitting inside -like an airplane, because of the tires I guess. When we drove the car the steering wheel was kind of shaking in your hand- I guess again because of the tyre. She said we need to return the car in clean condition.... WTF?!? I never heard such a thing ever. Otherwise it will be a charge or something...... no comment. Also we didn't complain at the scene because what can they do at 9-10pm at the airport, and we were exhausted with the children. When we returned again we were hurry to check in and go. Just a lesson for a future to our self. Probably it's depend which car you get. I would not recommend this car at all. Customer service good. But certainly they need to take more attention for technical issues with older cars. And please don't save the money on winter tyres 2 adults and 2 children life valued more than 30euro.

We have used 121

We have used 121 car hire on numerous occasion and always found them to be extremely helpful. The vehicles are always excellent and the staff vey helpful. The service has improved as they are now based within the airport so avoiding having to travel to a pick-up and drop-off location by bus. The only criticism would be that the valentine of the vehicles is obvious carried out by untrained staff - the windows are often not thoroughly cleaned and the interior dashboard on one particular vehicles had obvious only been given a cursory wipe over as it looked greasy.

A great deal all round!

We had a very smooth and efficient pickup. The price was excellent as was the vehicle. I also bought the online insurance as it was better value than buying at the counter - the only downside being that the insurance (in the event of a claim) would have had to be claimed back after payment had been settled up front.

Location information for Bulgaria

Positioned in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula, Bulgaria is a rewarding and affordable holiday destination. The Black Sea coast is the country's most popular tourist attraction. However, Bulgaria offers its visitors much more, including atmospheric villages, Greek ruins, dramatic mountainous scenery and several ski resorts. Conveniently touring the country is possible by arranging budget car rental in Bulgaria.

Sofia is the nation's ancient capital and chief air hub. National flight services are cheap but not recommended for those wishing to see as much as possible of Bulgaria. There's a comprehensive rail network but due to miserable planning it is not advisable to travel by train in Bulgaria. Public buses offer a cheap way of getting around the country. However, bad roads often result in bumpy trips. Cheap car hire in Bulgaria provides the most reliable way of transportation.

Bulgaria is experiencing an increase of tourism, drawing in travellers with opulent mosques, idyllic villages, pretty churches and the country's enduring folklore tradition. Bulgarian winters can be freezing but provide quality snow for the main ski resorts. By booking car hire in Bulgaria visitors can conveniently reach the country's best sights and attractions.

Beyond the country's central cities, visitors can drive to numerous smaller towns and villages, offering a wide and varied range of cultural traditions, history and untouched, natural beauty. Home to the nation's most ethnically diverse people, the Rodopi Mountains are surrounded by stunning landscapes with thick pine forests and deep gorges.

Travellers should not expect accommodation establishments in Bulgaria that offer the quality standards of Western Europe. Yet, the country is making progress improving accommodation standards. Well-equipped guestrooms are available in many private houses throughout the country. Adventurous outdoor enthusiasts will find many campsites, while the most luxurious hotels are to be found in Sofia.
