How much is a taxi from Burgas Airport in 2026

Car and suitcases outside an airport terminal for a prearranged transfer

Burgas Airport (BOJ) is the main gateway to Bulgaria's southern coast. In summer thousands of tourists arrive here, and the first question after the terminal is how to reach the hotel. Here are the real prices and options for 2026.

How much the ride costs

The price depends on the destination and time of day. Daytime ballparks:

Burgas, centre — short ride, 10–20 minutes.
Sunny Beach / Nessebar — 35–45 km, about 40 minutes.
Sveti Vlas — a little past Sunny Beach.

At night and in peak season prices are higher. Rates differ between private drivers and apps — so it's easier to compare offers than to call around one by one.

Transfer in advance or a taxi on the spot

The airport rank is the most expensive. Cheaper is to book a car in advance: the driver meets you with a sign, the price is fixed, and you don't need to find cash or explain the address.
