Bringing a car from the Netherlands
The Netherlands is one of the longest regular routes to Bulgaria, about 2,300 kilometres by road through Germany and Austria. Carriers often combine Dutch and Belgian loads on one transporter, so a car from Amsterdam or Rotterdam is cheapest when the date is flexible by a few days.
