### 1/5 — Zona acoperită mică

*2023-11-22, version 2.36.2*

Am făcut abonament și după 1 săptămână au micsorat zona de acoperire în Sectorul 1 peste noapte. Practic nu mai pot folosi acest serviciu.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work in Bulgaria

*2023-10-17*

Worthless non-existent support. 

Extra charges when car is not in use.

One day rentals no longer include any kilometers. 

Another typical Bulgarian scam.

### 1/5 — Sign in not working

*2023-06-25, version 2.30.3*

It asks me to register instead of signing in and when I try to register again it says that the email is already used. Customer support only offers a premium phone number I cannot call so I left without a transport when it’s needed

### 1/5 — New pricing scam - no kilometers on one day rental

*2023-06-04*

Out of the blue they removed all included km from 24 hour rental doubling the cost or more.

Typical Eastern European scams from a typical Eastern European company.

Don’t use

### 1/5 — Krasimir Panchev

*2023-02-16, version 2.27.4*

My account has disappeared and I cannot login to the app anymore!!!! I even tried creating a new account, this does not work either… Absolute joke, and this is on top of the not so good prices… I was a supporter for the greener way of travelling, but not with Spark it seems

### 1/5 — If your driving licence is not issued in the EU or Switzerland you can’t use their cars

*2023-01-19, version 2.27.4*

I’m a Bulgarian citizen (EU citizen) who lives in the UK, therefore, I have a British driving licence. I go back to my country twice a year and would like to use Spark. However, I always get discriminated by this company because of my driving licence…

### 1/5 — 100 лв. такса за регистрация

*2022-09-17, version 2.26.5*

Защо не предупреждавате, че има 100 лв. такса за регистрация? А първо събирате личните данни и после "ще ви таксуваме 100 лв.". Айде няма нужда.

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2022-01-25, version 2.16.0*

Extremely awful customer service. Hard to find the words how disappointed I am from interacting with their team. 
The app and biz model fine (copied from already existing such) but the staff are so bad that it makes it all pointless.
I HOPE a competitor comes up so that I never interact with them again.

### 1/5 — The company is awful

*2021-10-20, version 2.12.3*

It’s a great away to get around and it’s very easy to operate with. But the company charges you randomly even after you’ve finished the trip. And it’s not small amounts - it’s approx 150bgn.  They’re always trying to trap you so they can get extra money out of you. Even if you email them, they’ll say they’re investigating the issue and try take money out of your card without telling you

### 1/5 — Don’t get robbed

*2021-08-14, version 2.12.1*

Sign up process takes your details, payment card details
Then it takes a payment
And only then does it verify your driving licence
But if your country is not on the list it is only at this point that you find out. Too late-the payment has been taken
Bad design..get a taxi.

### 1/5 — So far not so good

*2021-07-24, version 2.11.1*

Read all terms and references! For a puncture you have to pay 300 leva!!!
You have to deal with the police to receive an accident notice and to pay!?! So all is taking a few hours just to sorted out this matter!!! … all of this is coming from a very bad experience with this guys…

### 1/5 — Licenses

*2021-03-08, version 2.7.0*

Won’t accept UK driving licenses despite them being perfectly valid in Europe. Accepts US licenses though?!?

### 1/5 — Limited foreign drivers licenses

*2020-10-18, version 2.5.0*

As other reviews have mentioned - if you have a foreign drivers license (UK in my case) it won’t be accepted but there is no list of the acceptable drivers licenses till AFTER you pay a non-refundable 20 leva.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-09-09, version 2.3.1*

The customers need to pay a fee for registration, however if your driving licence is foreign and its not accepted, the app still charges you even if you do not use their services.

### 1/5 — Useless support center

*2020-03-14, version 2.0.8*

The support center is as slow as turtle. They don’t answer in days.

### 1/5 — Does not work! Registration is difficult!

*2020-01-01, version 2.0.6*

Horrible registration process. I have used multiple ride sharing services around the world and have never encountered such a horrible service!

### 1/5 — Useless customer service team

*2019-09-27, version 1.4.6*

Customer service representatives are as useful as teapots.. They repeat scripted answers like broken records and there is no manager/administrator to make a decision and sort out an issue with registration. After debating for almost a week that some in this company should be able to make a decision and manually override their “system” I gave up and cancelled my profile, deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous drivers license registration experience

*2019-07-21, version 1.4.5*

I’ve been unable to use the service for 2+ weeks now because upon a submission of the drivers license images the app does not give you any feedback on whether:

- the images are good or they need to be re-taken
-your drivers license is in the process of being reviewed/approved
-expected day/time when you are expected to receive your approval
-literally any information on the status of the process

You can only find that out if you try to reserve a car and it show the generic message of “registration not approved yet”

Calling customer service didn’t work either as they said they can’t have a human take over the process when there’s a glitch like that, so not sure what the point of customer service even is at this point.

### 1/5 — Not thought through

*2025-09-15, version 2.55.1*

Doesn’t work for foreign visitors. I don’t have a Bulgarian phone, so I can’t even register

### 1/5 — Typical Bulgarian scam

*2025-08-04, version 2.54.1*

Hidden fees and charges. Charges for rentals I never used. Cars that won’t start. Poorly maintained cars.

### 1/5 — Feels like a scam

*2025-07-25, version 2.54.1*

🚫 Paid the registration fee — never got my money back!
They rejected my EU-recognized driving license, promised a refund, and ignored me for weeks. Rude responses, no accountability. Feels like a scam. Avoid this app! ⚠️

### 1/5 — UK licenses not accepted

*2025-07-16, version 2.54.1*

UK licenses are now not accepted on the platform. Not sure what’s driving the change as it was not the case a few years ago

### 1/5 — Yet another Eastern European scam

*2025-03-17*

Tons of hidden charges. Cars now cost more than double what they used to. They even charge you extra for insurance. Report this scam company.

### 1/5 — No UK driving licenses!

*2025-03-12, version 2.52.0*

They don’t take UK driving licenses.

### 1/5 — UK driving license - fail

*2024-12-25, version 2.49.0*

They still don’t take UK driving licenses it seems. Very frustrating

### 1/5 — Получаване на глоба - не правомерно

*2024-11-09, version 2.47.2*

Здравейте, наскоро поличих глоба от Спарк която беше не правомерна! Аз не съм пушач, но индикатора в колата показа, че се е пушило в рамките на няколко минути. Използвам Спарк от 2020г. До настоящия момент нямам едно нарушение. Опитах да говоря с човека който ми изпрати глобата по имейл, но той не пожела да комуникира с мениджър и да направят компромис, тъй като computer says no !!! 

И така реших да споделя неприятния си опит от мината седмица ! 

Всичко добро! 

Поздрави,
Симона Божкова

### 1/5 — They charge you money and leave you in the dark

*2024-07-22, version 2.44.0*

Apparently they don't support canadian driver license but the app will let you register and charge you 30 lev. Very bad experience.

### 1/5 — Labai prasta sistema

*2024-05-10, version 2.41.0*

Labai prasta kokybė. Aš turiu tik anglišką telefoną, jų pagalbos telefonas neveikia su užsenietiškais tel, man visi vw up atsirakina, bet neužsiveda, dėl šios bėdos jau keturi kartus informavau, nieko nepataiso. Tuomet negrąžina pinigų už savo klaidas, kažkokius tik kuponus, nors pasaugos nesuteikia. Taip pat support nenaudingas. Labai nerekomenduoju, prasidėjo sparkas gerai, dabar labai prasta kompanija… sugaištu daug laiko

### 5/5 — foarte practic

*2022-07-05, version 2.23.1*

foarte placut

### 5/5 — Easy to rent electric cars

*2019-04-02, version 1.4.1*

I think this is the easiest way to rent the latest electric cars at very afordable price for short trips like 5-20 mins and for longer ones like 1-2 days. Glad to discover it! 👍

### 5/5 — Great service!

*2017-09-04, version 1.2.5*

Great service! Cheap and convenient!
App works great, but sometimes requires a login for no reason

### 4/5 — The future of driving

*2021-09-26, version 2.12.3*

This app is fantastic. Love that it’s all electric cars in the fleet. Only complaint is that payment at sign up should come as the last step, not before ID check.
