Slovenia

Car rentals Slovenia

A truly unique destination in Europe, Slovenia is well worth the haul from Canada; this charismatic country boasts an immense amount of diversity and attractions in an area that is a fraction of the size even of other European nations. Visitors can delve into crystal clear Alpine lakes, enjoy well-preserved Roman ruins and ascend breathtaking alpine peaks –all in the same day with a little help via car rental. Equally enjoyable are the Slovenian people, who are inviting and immensely proud of all they have to offer.

Highlights

Ljubljana, the country’s enchanting capital, offers top-notch architecture and history, even by European standards, set amid beautiful fauna, great food and fun-filled nightlife. In winter, many visitors will grab a rental car and head for great skiing above the clouds on the slopes of beautiful Kranjska Gora, while in summertime they may opt to head to the lovely Mediterranean beaches near the traveler favourite coastal town of Piran just south of the Italian Border. There’s also the astounding pristine beauty of Lake Triglav further inland, as well as the alpine valley of Logarska Dolina sandwiched between towering peaks.

Exploring by car

Car rental is an excellent option for Canadians visiting Slovenia; the road network is well developed, maintained properly and the country observes right-hand driving rules. Potentially dangerous conditions are common in the winter; those visiting in the colder months may want to grab a 4WD vehicle and compare car rental options thoroughly.

Tourist season and weather

As with most European destinations, summertime in Slovenia is the most popular time for visitors and brings heavy crowds, especially in the coastal areas. Skiers and snowboarders bring forth a second high season, which lasts from December through March. Still, thanks to the country’s diversity weather can vary significantly from one region to another; it may be comfortable and sunny on the sea in May while it is snowing in the highest elevations.
