Driving Tips for Varna

Central Varna enforces “traffic calm schemes” to manage congestion and speeding and environmental access restrictions, especially in congested boulevards. The city uses targeted speed cameras and will strictly enforce the rules near pedestrian zones and waterfront areas.

Traffic Rules Overview

  • Turn your headlights on as soon as you start your car; they must be on at all times, even during the daytime.
  • The speed limit within the city is 50 km/h (30 mph) but goes up to 130 km/h (80 mph) on the highways outside of town.
  • Honking the horn is prohibited between the hours of 10:00 pm and 6:00 am, and then again between 12:00 pm and 4:00 pm. The only time you can use your horn during these hours is in case of an emergency to prevent an accident.

Road Conditions & Navigation

  • Coastal boulevards may have sand or debris on them, particularly after storms, so be prepared to navigate cluttered roads.
  • Center city is made up of one-way grids and frequent roundabouts or traffic circles, so keep an eye on signage.
  • Trolleys have the right of way; watch for pedestrians getting on and off at stops.

Parking Advice

Varna’s parking consists of street parking and large public garages, such as Varna Mall Parking, Grand Mall Parking, and Blue Zone Garage.

  • Street parking is in the Blue Zone or the Green Zone. The Blue Zone is closer to downtown, slightly more expensive, and available for up to three hours. The Green Zone is around the Blue Zone, is slightly less expensive, and available for up to two hours.
  • Some hotels offer parking, but be sure to call in advance to check availability and rates.

Fueling Instructions

Fuel is labeled A95, A100, which mark octane levels, and diesel. Most stations feature self-service that only accept credit cards. Some have staff on-site and will accept cash.

Tolls

Varna proper doesn’t have toll roads, but expressways and national roads may have physical toll booths further out. Talk to your SIXT rental agent for more information.

The deposit was returned immediately (couple of minutes). The car which was received was in good condition, even a small upgrade for me was done. The staff is awesome and everything was negotiated very clearly. Cheaper than all others, but same quality.
