Top tips for renting a car in Slovenia
- In Slovenia, child car seat rules dictate that children under 150 cm (5 ft) must travel in a car seat or use special seat belts adapted to their size, which they can use sitting in either the front or rear seat of the car. A child must be over 12 years old to sit in the front passenger seat. You should consider bringing a car seat or booster seat with you, unless you plan to rent one from your car rental company for around 9 € ($10) a day.
- The best way to discover the impressive scenery of Slovenia is to rent a car. You will find that the west of Slovenia is very mountainous and has excellent roads. Slovenia is home to the Vršič Pass, which is the highest mountain road that goes across the Julian Alps. In the east of the country, you will find pretty country roads leading through places like Kozjanski Park, which is a 19.3 km (12 mi) drive from the town of Krško.
- On your travels around Slovenia, you will find that parking is generally easy in rural areas. Most of the larger towns and cities offer both metered and multi-story parking. Around Lake Bled, 55.2 km (34.3 mi) from Ljubljana, there is plenty of free parking at the hotels.
- For an additional charge and with permission from your car rental company, crossing the border with your rental car from Slovenia is allowed to most European countries, although certain car categories have restrictions. You can expect to pay around 7 € ($8) at the border.
