Car Hire Reviews Slovenia

  • “The pick-up was easy, it took 5 minutes from arriving at the desk to driving out the car, and the return took even less time.”
    Diane T

Where to go

Slovenia is not a huge country, meaning that with the aid of your hire car, you’ll be able to cover most of it with ease. You’re sure to want to explore Ljubljana, with its Baroque architecture and iconic bridge. The town of Bled and its namesake lake is also opened up to you with a hire car, so be sure to include it in your itinerary.

Nearby Slovenia

Drive on the right-hand side in Slovenia and overtake on the left. Be aware of specific driving regulations that may not be the same as in your home country. It is illegal to use a mobile phone when driving, unless you have a hands-free kit and only children over the age of 12 are allowed to ride in the front of the car.

Longer drives

Slovenia has a number of land borders, making it easy to add other countries to your visit. Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, is not far away and has more museums per square metre than anywhere else in the world. Meanwhile, Trieste in Italy exhibits a stunning medieval old city and a neoclassical Austrian quarter that is hard to beat.

Eating and drinking

Slovenia’s location so close to Italy and a number of Balkan countries has influenced its food, meaning there are lots of pasta, risotto and goulash dishes on offer. If you are staying in Ljubljana, you have the benefit of being in a capital city and the resultant mix of world cuisines to choose from. In the countryside, dishes are more likely to be local in flavour, but fresh ingredients are plentiful.

Things to do

There is no doubt that the best activities to enjoy in Slovenia are based around its impressive natural landscape. Whether you prefer to explore its underground caves or go kayaking on its lakes, Slovenia has plenty of fun things to do. Even just throwing on a pair of walking boots and going hiking is spectacular in Slovenia.

Sightseeing

A castle sits atop an island on Lake Bled that forms the most picture perfect scene possible, with the mountains behind. This is probably the most iconic sight in Slovenia and one that should definitely be on your road trip. Triple Bridge in Ljubljana is also worth seeing, as it is the work of Joze Plecnik, who was one of Slovenia’s most talented architects.
