Yes – you can take a private taxi transfer with your dog or cat anywhere in Bulgaria. YesTrans drives pets together with their owner, door to door, 24/7. A transfer from Sofia Airport to Plovdiv costs 100 € in a sedan, 120 € in a minivan and 140 € in a van (about 150 km, 1 h 45 min). The price is for the whole vehicle, there is no prepayment and you pay after the ride. Your pet travels in your own crate or carrier, and we send a vehicle where the crate and your luggage fit.
Updated: 10 October 2026
Why book with us: many airport taxis in Bulgaria will not take animals, and a big crate does not fit in a small car. YesTrans sends a car, minivan or van that fits your pet’s crate and your luggage, and the driver knows in advance that an animal is coming. Your pet rides with you, from the airport to your hotel, apartment or ski chalet.

Important to know
- Your pet travels with you. We transport pets only together with their owner or a person who looks after them – we do not ship animals on their own.
- Crate or carrier is yours. For everyone’s safety, pets travel in a crate or a carrier. Your pet knows its own crate and feels safer in it.
- Documents. Within the EU your dog or cat needs a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and an EU pet passport. Check the rules of your home country for the trip back.
