Green travel

Top Rent A Car continues its sustainable growth with two key milestones that reinforce its position as a leading company in the mobility sector in Bulgaria.

Margarita Panchenko is a senior international executive who has held leadership roles at Société Générale and Ayvens (formerly ALD Automotive, rebranded after the acquisition of LeasePlan) at both headquarters and regional level. Her track record spans major transformation initiatives, regulatory strategy, and organisational change across global financial and mobility markets.

In an era where travel is increasingly viewed as an experience rather than just a means of transportation, how we get around truly matters. With its mountains, coastlines, and dynamic cities, Bulgaria offers countless reasons to hit the road – but the question is how.

It is also a feast for the people and visitors of Chirpan who celebrate the International Lavender Festival. They enjoy the colorful array of events from 20 to 22 June 2025. The vast lavender fields with art installations host yoga practices and harvest rituals and inspire photographers, artists, journalists and dancers. The central squares in Chirpan and the village of Sredno Gradishte are alive with performances, concerts, exhibitions, workshops, tastings and craft bazaars. Groups visit local museums, distilleries and wineries, and enjoy the lavender fields and attractions.
