Towing from Bulgaria to Poland. Black Sea towing 24/7. Route: PL→SK→HU→RO→BG. Transport in 2-3 days. Call: +48 601 41 90 98.
Route Overview
You drive to Bulgaria yourself — and if the car stops on the way or once you reach the coast, we get you and your car home. The Black Sea is the longest of the holiday routes, roughly 1,400–1,600 km through Slovakia, Hungary and Romania, usually split over two days. We are a Poland-based recovery company serving drivers across the region. Call us and we will take care of your car, camper or motorcycle wherever it stops, and bring it back to your own country if a repair abroad is not worthwhile.
Additional Information
What you must carry in the car
Across every country on this route a warning triangle and a reflective vest are mandatory — keep the vest in the cabin, not the boot, and put it on before you step out after a breakdown; ideally one per passenger. A first-aid kit is required in every country on this route — Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria — and Romania and Bulgaria also require a fire extinguisher, with Romania asking for two warning triangles. Spare bulbs are useful. Missing equipment can mean a fine if you are stopped.
Vignettes and tolls, country by country
Every country on the corridor now uses an electronic vignette linked to the number plate — there is nothing to stick on the windscreen, but you must buy each one before you use that country's roads:
- Slovakia: e-vignette at eznamka.sk.
- Hungary: e-matrica at ematrica.nemzetiutdij.hu; a 1-day option now exists alongside the longer passes.
- Romania: the rovinieta (rovignette), bought online or at fuel stations near the border.
- Bulgaria: the vinetka, an electronic e-vignette bought online at bgtoll.bg or at the border.
The Danube bridge between Romania and Bulgaria also charges a separate crossing toll.
Borders, Schengen and the Serbia alternative
Since Romania and Bulgaria joined the Schengen area, the Hungary–Romania and Romania–Bulgaria land borders no longer have routine passport checks, which makes the all-EU route through Romania the simpler choice. Some drivers still cut the corner through Serbia; because Serbia is outside Schengen and the EU, expect passport and customs checks at the border (an EU-registered car does not need a Green Card — the plate is accepted as proof of insurance), so decide before you set off rather than at the barrier.
When to set off and how to split the drive
Do not try to drive it in one go. Most people split the route over two days with an overnight stop — Budapest, Szeged or a town in western Romania are common choices. Start each day early, take a break every 2–3 hours, and aim to reach the coast in daylight. The Bulgarian alphabet is Cyrillic, so plan your last stretch before you tire.
The most common breakdowns on this route
The distance is the theme. Long-distance mechanical wear is the biggest cause, followed by overheating in the summer heat, blowouts on rougher Romanian sections, and tiredness deep into the second day. If the temperature gauge rises, pull over and switch off, but do not open a hot cooling system until it has cooled.
What affects the cost of recovery from abroad
We do not quote a fixed price — every case is priced individually. On this route it depends above all on:
- the distance and where the car must go (nearest workshop, or home to your country),
- the vehicle type and weight (car, camper, trailer, motorcycle),
- whether an on-the-spot repair is possible,
- whether you have assistance or comprehensive (AC) cover.
Call and describe the situation — we will give you the realistic options, with no obligation.
Assistance, third-party (OC) and comprehensive (AC) cover abroad
Third-party (OC) insurance does not cover towing your own car. Abroad, assistance cover is what matters — and on this route the key question is how far it tows, because many policies cap the distance and a recovery from the Black Sea can exceed it. With assistance we work with your insurer; without it, we arrange transport independently.
What to tell us when you call
To get help moving as fast as possible, have four things ready:
- which country and road you are on,
- the nearest kilometre marker or town,
- the make and type of vehicle (car, camper, trailer, motorcycle),
- briefly what happened.
We handle the rest — the callout, contacting a workshop and any onward transport.
What we do after you call
As soon as you call, we establish exactly where you are, what you are driving and what happened. Then we:
- judge whether on-the-spot help is enough or a tow is needed,
- arrange the callout and, if needed, a workshop along the route or near the coast,
- help you find a safe overnight with parking if the breakdown delays you,
- if a repair abroad is not worthwhile, transport the vehicle (and, where possible, the passengers) back to your home country,
- work with your insurer if you have assistance cover.
Throughout, you have a Polish- or English-speaking contact.
Before you set off
- Have the car properly checked — this route exposes tyres, coolant, brakes and the battery.
- Buy the four e-vignettes (Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria) before you use each country's roads.
- Carry your registration document and ID, and confirm your insurer covers every country on the route; keep the documents to hand for the crossings.
- Plan the overnight stop in advance, and start day two early to reach the coast in daylight.
What this route is like, stage by stage
Day one usually runs from Poland across Slovakia and Hungary — a fast, mostly flat drive to an overnight near the Romanian border. Day two is the long haul: across Romania, where the motorway network is patchy and the surface varies, down to the Danube and over into Bulgaria, then on to the coast at Varna in the north or Burgas and Sunny Beach in the south. It is the most demanding of the holiday routes, and the one where a steady pace and a well-prepared car pay off most.
Our Highlights
- Roadside help and recovery anywhere along the two-day journey — in Slovakia, across Hungary and Romania, or once you are on the Bulgarian coast.
- Every vehicle type: fully loaded cars and estates with roof boxes, vans, campers and caravans, motorcycles, light trucks and cars with trailers; electric cars on a flatbed.
- On-the-spot fixes where we can — a wheel change, a jump start, a belt — so you can carry on toward the sea.
- Coordination with workshops along the route and near the coast when a repair abroad makes sense.
- Help finding a safe overnight with secure parking if a breakdown forces an unplanned stop.
- Recovery home to your own country (Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, the Baltics) when a repair abroad is not worthwhile.
- A Polish- or English-speaking contact around the clock, at every stage of the corridor.
Who we help on this route
- families on long summer road trips, often with children and a full car,
- campers and caravans making the most of the distance,
- motorcyclists riding to the coast,
- vans and 7–9-seat vehicles,
- light trucks and cars with trailers,
- electric cars (flatbed transport).
What to see – the Bulgarian Black Sea
The coast divides into a northern and a southern half. Around Varna in the north are Golden Sands (Zlatni Pyasatsi), lively and full of resorts, and Albena, greener and aimed at families. Around Burgas in the south lies the largest resort of all, Sunny Beach (Slanchev Bryag), right beside Nessebar — a UNESCO-listed old town of wooden houses and ancient churches on a rocky peninsula. The sea is warm and calm through the summer. Tell us the resort and the nearest town, and we will find you.

Customer Reviews
Lightning fast, professional, polite and at a completely acceptable price. Thank you for today's help with my Kangoo and I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone!
Great, professional, reliable, and the boss himself is energetic, cool, helpful — you'd search far and wide for people like that these days.
Highest quality! Rarely do you meet such people — car towed from the highway to a service center, accommodation arranged and the whole family transported to a hotel, all on a Sunday.
I highly recommend. :)
Complete professionalism.

What does roadside assistance Bulgaria cover?
It covers the whole two-day drive to the Black Sea and the coast itself. You drive to Bulgaria yourself, and if the car breaks down anywhere — in Slovakia, across Hungary or Romania, or once you reach the resort — we come out to you. We try to fix small faults on the spot; if that is not possible we recover the car, and where we can you and your passengers, home to your own country.
Do you only recover the car to Poland?
No — not only to Poland. We are a Poland-based company, but we serve drivers from across the region, so we bring you and your car home to your own country: Poland, Czechia, Slovakia or the Baltics. On a route this long that decision matters, so tell us your home country when you call and we plan the recovery around it rather than assuming Poland.
Do I drive to Bulgaria myself, or do you take me there?
You drive to Bulgaria yourself — we are the safety net, not a transport service to the coast. We step in only when the car stops: on the long way there or once you have arrived. From that point we handle the roadside help, any workshop and, if a repair abroad is not worthwhile, the tow back home. The homebound recovery is what we do; we do not tow cars out to the Black Sea.
How quickly can you reach me on the Bulgaria route?
Because our recovery vehicles set off from Poland, plan on roughly 8–12 hours for one to reach you, and allow for the longer end on the deepest legs near the coast, where the distance from Poland is greatest. For a quick roadside fix we can often call on a partner closer to you. When you call, we give you a realistic time for your exact location, not an optimistic guess.
Which route do you cover — through Romania or through Serbia?
Our main corridor runs through Romania: Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, then over the Danube into Bulgaria. Since Romania and Bulgaria joined Schengen those borders have no routine checks, so it is the simpler, all-EU line. The Serbia shortcut leaves the EU and Schengen, so expect passport and customs checks there — an EU-registered car needs no Green Card. Whichever you took, tell us and we will reach you along it.
Which vignettes and tolls do I need for this route?
Four electronic vignettes, each tied to the number plate: Slovakia (eznamka.sk), Hungary (the e-matrica, now with a 1-day option), Romania (the rovinieta) and Bulgaria (the vinetka, bought online at bgtoll.bg or at the border). Buy each before you use that country's roads. The Danube bridge between Romania and Bulgaria also charges a separate crossing toll.
What safety equipment must I carry?
A warning triangle and a reflective vest are mandatory the whole way — keep the vest in the cabin and put it on before you get out; ideally one per passenger. A first-aid kit is required in every country on this route — Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria — and Romania and Bulgaria also require a fire extinguisher (Romania two triangles); spare bulbs are handy. Missing equipment can lead to a fine if the police stop you, so check it before you leave.
What happens if my car breaks down in Romania and cannot be fixed?
Romania is the longest leg, so it is where many calls come from. If a repair there would take too long or cost too much, we recover the car home rather than leave you stranded far from either end. Where possible we take you and your passengers with it; otherwise we help you arrange onward travel. We tell you the realistic options before anything moves.
Will my insurance pay for such a long recovery?
It depends on your cover, and distance is the catch on this route. Third-party (OC) insurance does not pay to tow your own car. Assistance cover is what counts abroad — but check how far it will tow, because many policies cap the distance and 1,500 km home from the Black Sea can exceed it. With assistance we work with your insurer; without it, we arrange the recovery independently.
Do you provide road assistance across Silesia?
Yes! We operate across the Silesian voivodeship — within approx. 100 km of Koziegłowy. We cover Częstochowa, Myszków, Zawiercie and Siewierz, as well as the A1, S1, DK78 and DK91 routes.
How much does road assistance cost?
Every situation is different — pricing depends on distance, vehicle type (car vs truck vs motorcycle), time of day, and the specific situation (simple tow vs accident recovery vs winching from a ditch). Use our online calculator at /en/cennik for a quick estimate, or call +48 601 41 90 98 — we ALWAYS quote the price before starting, so there are no surprises or hidden fees.
Can I pay by card?
Yes, we accept cards (Visa, Mastercard), cash, BLIK, and bank transfer. For insurance cases, we handle direct billing with the insurer — you may not need to pay anything out of pocket. We also issue VAT invoices for business clients.
How quickly will you arrive?
Response times depend on traffic and distance, but we always dispatch the nearest available truck. Call +48 601 41 90 98 for a real-time estimate.
What is road assistance?
Road assistance means on-the-spot help when your vehicle has a problem: battery jump-start, flat tire change, emergency fuel delivery, lockout service (keys locked inside), and minor on-site repairs. If the problem can't be fixed roadside, we tow your vehicle to the nearest workshop. Available 24/7, even on holidays.
