Hello, we have a place in Haskovo region and are looking for a cheap option of travelling from Sofia. Our flights dont seem to match up with buses and trains so we are looking for long term parking in or around Sofia for our car. Does anyone know of anywhere or any useful websites to search for land/garages etc? Thanks, Sandra

Not allowed links here I think. Look at court auctions there are garages going in Sofia for 10k and less.

Haskovo's a trek, so I think the only "cheap" option is the train. And you know how long that takes! :-)


I usually stay at the IBIS Hotel parking (large, fenced, outdoor lot, plus a few spaces in their underground garage for twice the price). Price is very reasonable for a few days/weeks (ballpark 75 euros / month maybe), and it's very close to the airport (free shuttle, and it's walkable depending on which terminal you need). Sofia airport is very easy/quick to get to from the A1, so it's a very convenient drive - it's not like trying to get to Heathrow round the M25. :-)


You can try parko (dot bg) and parkvia (dot com) to book online, and they have several options, not just the IBIS.


For a few months, it might get expensive (especially in a garage space). But I never leave it there that long. For that kind of trip, it might be better to leave the car at home and get a private taxi door-to-door. There are a couple of firms in Plovdiv that do it for around 70 euros each way. Haskovo is significantly further/slower, so maybe more like 140 euros each way?


For an airport hotel, the IBIS is not crazy expensive (I use booking dot com), so sometimes public transport + a night in a hotel can work too.


Also, you should note that Plovdiv Airport is a lot closer to Haskovo, and it has some cheap Ryanair/Wizzair flights to London.

@GB_2_BG thanks very much

@gwynj thanks very much I'll look into those options. We fly to Manchester unfortunately so Plovdiv isn't a great option 🤔
