Hey guys, I have booked flights now, arriving to Sofia at noon 2nd of March 3 of us...is it better to go by a bus to Bansko, or easier to rent a car (21eur?)... Whats the price for a taxi to get to a bus station? Taxi drivers, they usually tend to rip you off...

Those prices are great - particularly if you are travelling on your own or as a couple. If you are a large group, or a family then the DIY option can work out cheaper particularly if you fill an apartment to its maximum capacity.

The other thing to consider when going DIY is to ensure that you have good insurance - then if anything does go wrong, be prepared to pay for extra hotel accommodation etc on a credit card and claim it back on your insurance after the holiday.
