Recommendations for car rental agencies in Ljubljana

I’ve used Europcar on several trips including Slovenia and been happy with them. Their office is right in the city center near the train station. I’m sure they’re at the airport too.

We used Sixt by the rail and bus stations (about a 10 minute walk from the bus station, 20 minute walk from Prešernov trg). It was my first time renting from Sixt. The car was nice and worked well for the Julian Alps drive. The staff spoke excellent English. Easy pickup and return except there was traffic during drop off at rush hour.

I second the Eurocar recommendation. We just returned from a week in Slovenia, and our rental with them was very smooth.

We are also taking a RS tour in September, and arriving mid September. We want to rent a car for a day and drive to Logarska Dolina. Anyone has driven there? We want to take the Panoramic road, part of which is unpaved. Need advice on what kind of car to rent: electric, gas, automatic, manual, would we need a small SUV or would a compact car be ok?

We had a compact manual gas car from Sixt while driving the Panoramic Road in the summer of 2025, and it was fine. I would not suggest a larger SUV on rural Slovenian roads. That said, my husband loves driving stick, and we live in Idaho so are familiar with unpaved, narrow roads. If those driving conditions are less familiar to you, an automatic might be easier, though possibly more expensive.

Thank you Carly. We are comfortable with driving a manual car.
