Do I need to book in advance?

Advance booking is recommended, especially in summer. For meet-and-greet services it is typically required. The official airport car parks do not require advance booking.

Are the off-site car parks secure?

All the main operators are fenced, CCTV-monitored, and staffed 24/7. East Rent and V Park offer additional indoor and covered options for extra security and weather protection.

What is a meet-and-greet service?

With meet-and-greet, you drive to the terminal, hand your car to an operator's driver at departures, and they park it for you. On return, the car is waiting at arrivals. East Rent and iRent both offer this service near VAR.

Are there parking subscriptions available?

Fraport Bulgaria offers parking subscription agreements for frequent travellers who use VAR regularly. Application forms are on varna-airport.bg. Off-site operators typically use pre-paid bookings rather than formal subscriptions.

Parking Operators Near Varna Airport

Compare off-site car parks serving VAR — rates, shuttle services and what to expect

Several private car park operators have set up within a few kilometres of Varna Airport, offering an alternative to the official Fraport Bulgaria car parks for travellers looking for lower daily rates, covered spaces, or a meet-and-greet service. This page covers the main options — East Rent Parking, V Park, iRent Airport Parking, and Top Parking — along with the key differences between them to help you decide which suits your trip.

East Rent Parking Varna

East Rent is one of the better-known off-site operators at Varna Airport, available through international booking platforms such as ParkVia. The main lot is open-air but fenced, with CCTV, motion sensors, well-lit premises, and a 24/7 on-site attendant. The facility is located close to Varna's central police station, which East Rent highlights as an additional security benefit for the neighbourhood.

For travellers who want indoor parking, East Rent also operates an underground bay in a nearby apartment building, approximately 500 metres from the main lot. This option has limited capacity and is separately bookable. The car park also offers interior and exterior car wash at an additional cost, which can be added at the time of booking.

Meet-and-greet is available for an extra charge: a driver will collect your car at Terminal 2 departures, park it at East Rent's facility, and return it to arrivals when you land. On the day of your trip, a free shuttle takes you from the main lot to the terminal. East Rent has a customer rating of 4.9/5 from 120 reviews on ParkVia as of mid-2025.

V Park — Varna Airport Parking

V Park offers both covered and uncovered spaces on a secured lot close to the airport, with 24/7 CCTV monitoring and a free shuttle service to and from the terminal. The covered options include a canopied area and a section with a fully enclosed garage, protecting vehicles from weather and direct sunlight — a practical consideration during Varna's peak summer months when outdoor temperatures regularly exceed 30 °C.

V Park accepts pre-booking through their own website (varna-airport-parking.eu) and markets various parking packages depending on stay length. Contact details and booking are available on their site.

iRent Airport Parking

iRent positions itself as a straightforward, value-focused option. The lot is fully secured with a high fence, CCTV, and a 24-hour guard, located a short drive from the airport. A free shuttle transfer runs to and from Terminal 2 on demand.

iRent also offers a meet-and-greet option: you drive directly to the terminal, hand your car to an iRent driver, and go straight to check-in. On return, the driver brings the car back to arrivals. Payment for this service is typically collected at the car park on arrival or departure rather than online at booking. iRent claims savings of up to 30% versus the official airport rates, particularly for longer stays.

Top Parking

Top Parking is a secured open-air car park approximately five minutes' drive from the terminal, fenced around the perimeter, well-lit, and monitored by CCTV with a 24/7 guard. The free shuttle transfer to and from the airport runs on demand — you call or message when you are ready, and they arrange collection.

Top Parking emphasises walk-up availability alongside pre-bookable spaces, which makes it a practical option for last-minute arrangements. The operator is also listed on international platforms for advance booking.

Choosing Between On-Site and Off-Site

The official car parks have one clear advantage: you are already at the terminal when you park. If you are picking someone up or dropping them off, or your trip is a few hours, the 10-minute free grace period and the proximity to the check-in desks make them the most convenient option.

For longer trips — typically anything over one day — the off-site operators almost always offer a lower total cost. The shuttle adds time, but for most travellers the saving is worthwhile. If your priority is covered parking, East Rent's underground bay or V Park's canopied area are the only realistic options near VAR, since the official car parks are open-air.

All four off-site operators listed on this page accept online booking in advance, which is recommended in summer when Varna Airport handles the highest volume of charter traffic and parking availability, on-site and off, tightens significantly.
