For customers from outside the EU, an International Driving Permit is recommended \u2014 and in some cases required \u2014 especially for licences written in non-Latin scripts.

For younger drivers \u2014 particularly those under 21 \u2014 certain limitations apply. In such cases, the selection is restricted to economy-class vehicles, and a Young Driver fee and Full Coverage may be required.<\/p><p>For customers planning to travel outside Bulgaria, the necessary authorization for cross-border travel is issued. In some cases \u2014 such as trips to Turkey \u2014 this authorization must be notarized and officially translated.
