Scotland to Bulgaria

Advertisement
My wife and I, along with our two dogs, wish to travel from Scotland to Bulgaria next March.
15 years ago, August 31st 2008 No: 1 Msg: #47403  
Ideally we wanted to take a car and drive the distance, but we have found that we cannot hire a car in the UK and travel to Bulgaria, and return the car to the rental company somewhere in Europe - this is simply not permitted by any car company in the UK - that I have found.

Does anyone know of a car rental/leasing company that will permit this?

Or does anyone know of a better way to make the journey? Given we have 2 dogs with us, we don't want to fly, and train/bus is probably out of the question.

Perhaps we can buy a bomb of a car in the UK. Might be cheaper than renting?

Some background info - we are aussies travelling around slowly - been in Canada for the last 2 years, and plan to be in scotland for 3 months before 'moving' to Bulgaria for a few years.....

thanks in advance for your friendly advice!

Hi,

Most car rental companies are very restricted when it comes to East Europe and dropping off your car. Buying a very cheap car in the UK and try to sell it on/dump it may be the best option.

enjoy your trip! sounds fun! Reply to this
