Logistics Solutions: Turkey ↔ Bulgaria

Road Transport from Istanbul to Bulgaria

ERSA Logistics provides high-frequency road transport services to Bulgaria, Turkey's largest trade gateway to Europe. Operating via the Kapikule and Hamzabeyli border crossings, we deliver your cargo safely to all Bulgarian provinces, primarily Sofia, Plovdiv, and Varna.

Thanks to our strong agency network in Bulgaria and our drivers' expertise at the border, we ensure your export and import shipments complete the customs transit processes in the shortest possible time.

Customs and Border Operations
