Being thick - Help booking transfers...please

About to book transport from airport to Borovets for myself and confused...
4 persons return is 85, which seems to be general.
Then it say's 3 person return 67 Euro's

I know I am being dim here but why 3, what about 1? And why is it cheaper than anywhere else. is this the one I book?

I would guess the cost is more for the drivers time than the number of people travelling. It take just as long and just as much fuel to transfer 1 person as it does 3 so I would presume that even if you are travelling solo you would still need to pay the 3 minimum persons price.

Ahh I get that but logically, it should be less pp for 4 than 3 which is why I am confused. Just checking that if I book the return of 67 Euros, then it is just that and not that x 3.

its not gonna be x 3 have used balkan the last 2 years and only ever paid about 20 euro per person its a hour or so there an back so if travelling alone they must charge a minimum we have always had at least 4 people though so cant comment on single person transfer. If you email them they always respond within a hour or so!

it is the price of the car, not each. 1-3 people

I would think for the four people transfer they change up from a car to a bigger vehicle hence the in crease in price

I used balkan-pms just a couple of weeks ago for my return transfer. I was on my own.

The price was 67 euros. Had I been able to share my transfer then the price would have been divided up between us.

Balkan-pms are part of Hunter's (or the other way round) and I've always found them to be very reliable and helpful.

Usually you don't pay the driver, he will take you to the office where you pay up for your transfer and ski pack, then the driver takes you to your hotel. But you are ...

Juliana and Anelia in the office are really nice and helpful and will answer all your questions if you email them.
