Car rental in Golden Sands

Driving strictly within the internal resort roads does not require a vignette, but virtually all access roads to and from Golden Sands (including Road I-9 and the bypasses) are state roads where an e-Vignette is legally required and monitored by automated camera gantries.

Golden Sands operates restricted entry barriers during peak season. Most street parking is forbidden or managed via paid barrier gates. Resort hotel parking spots typically cost between 15 and 30 BGN per day. Parking outside authorized lines results in rapid towing to the resort impound lot.
