Top tips for renting a car in Ljubljana
- Here are some of the city's key roads that will come in handy if you plan on making use of one of the cheap car rentals in Ljubljana. The most significant of these is the A1, a major highway that cuts right through the city center and links it to the A2 in the direction of Koper on the Adriatic coast and the A3 in the direction of Maribor and Austria. The Ljubljana ring road, which loops around the heart of the city; the Šmartinska cesta, a prominent traditional route to the west; the Celovška cesta, which heads south; and the Tržaška cesta, which heads east, are also significant local roads. These roads are crucial for getting around Ljubljana.
- Before you venture out on the road in one of the available cheap car rentals in Ljubljana, ensure you are acquainted with the toll policy of your car rental agency. Ljubljana has several toll roads. The most important of these is the Ljubljana Ring Road, which circles the city. This road contains two toll stations and is operated by the Slovenian Motorway Company. The other two toll roads in the city are the A1 Motorway, which connects Ljubljana to the Croatian border, and the A2 Motorway, which connects Ljubljana to the Austrian border. Both of these roads contain toll stations.
- If your interest in cheap Ljubljana car rentals extends to electric vehicles, there are free EV-charging stations in the city. Electric Avenue and Ljubljana City Electric Car Sharing are two of the city's most popular free EV-charging stations. Electric Avenue is located on Celovška cesta, close to the train station, and provides Level 2 and CHAdeMO charging options. Ljubljana City Electric Car Sharing is situated on Trg Republike, near the city center, and provides Level 2 charging. In addition, the BTC City Ljubljana shopping center has two free Level 2 and CHAdeMO charging stations, one on Cesta dveh cesarjev and the other on Šmartinska cesta.
- Nature lovers will really enjoy a visit to Ljubljana, Slovenia. With its numerous parks and rivers, you’ll find many opportunities to engage in outdoor activities and explore farm life. On a warm summer day you might even want to take a quick drive to a seaside town in Croatia like Motovun. Without a rental car you can’t do any of this. It will also be more difficult to get to places like Triglav National Park or Soca Valley for some hiking, kayaking, canyoning or white water rafting.
- The Ljubljana airport is just a short drive from many cities and towns in Slovenia. It is also less than 100 miles from the countries of Italy and Austria. You’ll find it quite simple to rent a car from this airport. All of the rental car agencies, including Enterprise, Budget, and Alamo, have offices in the parking structure just across the road from the terminal. Simply grab your bags, head over there, and you are ready to go.
- In Slovenia, every car is required to have a toll sticker (“vignette”) when it is on the freeway. Be sure that you have this sticker in your car window before leaving the rental car agency; otherwise, you could receive a ticket if you don’t have it. Additionally, by law you must always have on your low beam lights. This includes daytime driving.
- Rush hour is minimal in Ljubljana, possibly because the heart of downtown is designated as a “no car” zone. Throughout the city there can be some traffic congestion when there is a snowstorm or construction work going on. The weekends can also see somewhat heavy traffic around the beaches, especially during the summer months when there are many tourists.

Sep 2018
Pros:
Nothing much, we returned the car at 10pm and there was no one to help us.Cons:
We were billed 50 Euros for a small black mark that would be difficult to spot during pre-inspection. We felt that this was possibly an easy loophole from Hertz to take a couple extra dollars, and previous reviews of Hertz from other renters had similar views.We ended up paying about double of what we expected when we first saw the car rental on Kayak.com2.0 Poor
