Nestled between Italy and Austria, the tiny country of Slovenia offers a traveler deep caves, alpine hikes and fascinating history. The mountains of Slovenia attract winter sports enthusiasts and hikers; its cities, coastline and lakes are the stuff of legendary vacations.
Travelers typically fly in to Ljubljana, the capital city, and this is the easiest place to arrange a Slovenia car rental. However, a wealth of online services can set the traveler up with car hire services in Slovenia, and arranging a vehicle is really just a case of finding a provider and filling out an online form.
Why Hire a Car in Slovenia
While bus and train service does exist in Slovenia, some of the most intriguing tourist attractions are tucked away down canyons and halfway up mountains. Buses do climb Slovenia's highest mountain pass, Vršic, but with 50 hairpin bends, the experience is hair-raising. Hiring a car helps the visitor find Slovenia's hidden treasures, of which there are many.
A car rental in Slovenia can take the traveler to lesser-known spots like Tolminska Korita (a deep gorge with aquamarine river water), Predjama Grad (an ancient castle built into a rock face) and Škocjanske Jame, caves more spectacular than Postojna and a great deal less manicured. For somebody intending to stay mostly in a major city, a Slovenia car rental can give a different view of the country that would otherwise be missed.
