SPARK Bulgaria is the first fully electric car–sharing service in the country. Born out of Ride Share Bulgaria EAD and launched in 2017, SPARK now operates in Sofia and Plovdiv, offering a sustainable, flexible alternative to private vehicle ownership .
What Makes SPARK Unique?
- Fully electric fleet: With over 1,000 vehicles (from compact city cars to SUVs and vans), SPARK offers eco-friendly options suited for city trips and cargo needs.
- Smart, user-friendly app: No paperwork, no deposits—just download the app, register, and go. You only pay for usage time and mileage.
- Zero emissions & free parking: The fleet runs on electricity, and SPARK users often enjoy free parking zones in Sofia and Plovdiv.
How It Works
First, you make a quick registration by uploading your license, bank card, and confirming one year of driving experience (“B” category). Then, you reserve a car. The app displays nearby vehicles and you can choose your ride, book it, and unlock it with one tap. Drive as long as you need and park in any designated SPARK zone to end your session.
