How much a shared ride costs
A shared ride has no tariff. The driver says if the ride is free or paid, and you agree on the amount together. So you will not find an "average price" here. VozyMe does not know one, because it stores only free or paid, with no amount.
What the amount covers
The amount covers the costs of the trip: fuel and tolls. The VozyMe terms are clear: the platform is only for sharing the cost of a trip. It is not for commercial transport within the meaning of the Bulgarian Road Transport Act.
How to work out a fair amount
- Multiply the distance by the consumption of the car and divide by 100. This gives the litres.
- Multiply the litres by the fuel price.
- Add the tolls, if there are any.
- Divide the total by the number of people in the car, with the driver.
An example with round numbers, only to show the sum: 400 km at 7 l per 100 km is 28 l. At 1.50 € a litre this is 42 €. With four people in the car, the share is 10.50 € each. This is not a market price. Use your own numbers.
The train and the bus for comparison
We checked the prices on 5 November 2026, for the dates 10, 13 and 15 November. For the train, this is the lowest base fare of a direct train. BDZ calls its prices dynamic, so the final price can be higher. For the bus, this is a "from" price from our research as of 1 November 2026.
- Sofia - Plovdiv: train from 6.13 €, bus from 10.00 €
- Sofia - Burgas: train from 12.22 €, bus from 18.80 €
- Sofia - Varna: train from 15.18 €, bus from 19.50 €

When to agree on the amount
Agree on the amount before you leave. Then nobody gets a surprise in the car. The agreement for the ride is between you and the driver, and VozyMe is not a party to it. The search on VozyMe is free.
