The first table shows prices from an address in Varna, the second from Burgas Airport. From Varna Airport, Burgas city, Golden Sands, Albena, Sunny Beach and the other resorts we confirm the price when you book, based on the exact address. Ruse and Constanța are included because they are often part of the same trip.
From the Black Sea coast to Bucharest, on your schedule
Bucharest is the nearest foreign capital to north-eastern Bulgaria, yet from Varna and Burgas it is surprisingly awkward to reach by public transport: trains and coaches are infrequent and run to a timetable, and there are hardly any direct flights. With a VIP transfer you leave your home, hotel or office whenever suits you and step out at your meeting, hotel or restaurant in Bucharest. You travel only with your own party, and the chauffeur stops whenever you ask.
The route is booked mostly by business travellers with meetings in Bucharest, Romanian guests heading home after a holiday on the Bulgarian coast, and travellers flying out of Bucharest to destinations with no convenient flight from Varna or Burgas.
The route and the Danube Bridge
From Varna we usually drive west via Shumen and Razgrad to Ruse; from Burgas we head north via Aytos and Shumen. We cross the Danube on the Ruse – Giurgiu Friendship Bridge, and from there Bucharest is about an hour away. The chauffeur picks the road according to the time, the season and the queue at the bridge, and you never pay more if it turns out longer. The price is fixed for the whole vehicle when you book.
Since 2025 Bulgaria and Romania have been full Schengen members, so there is no routine passport control at the border. Do bring an ID card or passport, though: spot checks are possible, and Romanian hotels ask for a document at check-in. The bridge is busiest on Friday afternoons, Sunday evenings and around holidays, so before an important meeting we recommend leaving earlier.
Flying out of Bucharest
Otopeni Airport lies north of Bucharest and offers far more destinations than the airports in Varna and Burgas. Tell us your flight time and we will work out when to leave, with a buffer for the bridge and for check-in. For early flights we drive through the night. The price to Otopeni Airport is on request, and we confirm it in the same conversation.
On the way back we follow your flight: if it is late, the chauffeur sees the new time and waits at the airport at no extra cost. He meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and drives you straight to Varna, Burgas or your hotel on the coast.
Business trips and delegations
Varna, Burgas and Bucharest are linked by ports, logistics, energy and trade, and many companies on both banks of the Danube share partners. Instead of a full day of connections, a VIP transfer drops you right at your meeting, and you can work or rest on the way. For a meeting with a same-day return, or for several addresses in Bucharest, we offer a car with chauffeur on an individual quote – see VIP car with chauffeur by the day or hour.
For delegations we send several vehicles travelling together: a Mercedes S-Class for senior management and a minivan or van for the other guests. If your group starts from Sofia or Plovdiv, see VIP Transfer Sofia to Bucharest; for the whole visit, see Premium VIP Delegation Visits.
Cars and groups
- Car for up to 4 passengers – from €253 from Varna and from €308 from Burgas Airport to Bucharest.
- Minivan for up to 6 passengers – from €330 from Varna and from €396 from Burgas Airport. Good for a family or a small group with plenty of luggage.
- Van for up to 8 passengers – to Bucharest from Varna from €385, from Burgas from €484. For larger groups we send several vehicles.
- Mercedes S-Class, E-Class and V-Class – on request at +359 897 227 771, when first impressions matter.
Our group runs saloon cars, minivans, vans and Mercedes S-Class and E-Class cars, so trips with several vehicles are routine for us. The price is for the whole vehicle, not per person, and does not change because of traffic or a queue at the bridge.
Ruse and Constanța along the way
If you have a meeting in Ruse before Bucharest, tell us when you book and we will build it into the plan; the price to Ruse is in the tables above. Constanța is another option for guests on the coast: Romania’s largest port is about 150 km from Varna along the coastal road. Our chauffeurs speak English, which helps guests travelling without their host, and baby carriers, child seats and boosters are free of charge.
