EuropeWord EuropeWord Post Count: 57 Msg: #1 335 days ago, December 23rd 2008 | Does anyone know how the roads in Bulgaria are? Are they high-quality, or bad-quality? Better said, is renting a car in Bulgaria a good idea to travel? I heard something like it has bad roads. | Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, EuropeWord dietcola deit cola Post Count: 8 Msg: #2 335 days ago, December 23rd 2008 | yes mate the roads are pretty bad out there. anywhere east of germany n the roads suck.. | ive been road tripping to the continent for a few years now and all across western europe the roads are fabulous! i mean fab... but get near the eastern block n they deteriorate rapidly... its the pot holes you have to wtch... i have a low sports car with big alloys n we smashed an alloy in poland on a pot hole... also the drivers get worse the further you go... i wouldnt know about renting a car over there cos ive never bothered... but if it is a hire car then i doent really matter about smashing wheels etc... wtach out you dont leave anythign in them tho... there are a few trivks out there where ppl will target the hire car (cos they know its a hire) n smash/ take everthing in them... not saying its soley hire cars but you know... there mate owns the company n ur credit card is paying.... yeh the raods are drivable, they arent great but they're there... if you want poor roads hit africa man... now thats a laugh!!!! drive where ya want pretty much n avoid anything coming straight at ya... NB... people dont look when trurning ontomain roads... they expect you to move... and approach 4 way junctions with extreem caution! some ppl just fly through em! have ya whitts about ya n all will be gravey!

When I lived in Belgrade, I took my own car between Bucharest to Sofia then looped back to Belgrade. No problems, some roads are a bit dodgy with potholes etc and the locals drive maniacally, but with confidence and just taking it easy, not allowing yourself to get too stressed, it is fine and do-able. Lots of filling stations, so petrol isn't really a problem. | EuropeWord EuropeWord Post Count: 57 Msg: #4 272 days ago, February 24th 2009 | Haha, that's true, I finally got there with my personal car. Bad drivers, bad roads. Everyone should pay attention there. | Thank you for responses, EuropeWord Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 4 | ||||||||||||
