Ljubljana car hire

Because it is a “green city,” most residents of Ljubljana drive fuel efficient vehicles. Located on the Ljubljana River, the roads can be quite tight. So when you are renting a car, you’ll probably want to request something that is compact and eco-friendly like a hybrid.

Driving the motorway from one city to another, you can drive a pretty fast speed of up to 80 mph (or 130 km/h). While you are driving through the city proper, the maximum speed allowed is 31 mph (50 km/h). Speed signs are posted all around the city -- but in kilometers, not miles.

Since Ljubljana’s downtown is marked as a “car-free” zone, you’ll have to walk or ride a bike in the heart of the downtown area. Thus, what you can do is park in one of the parking lots or garages on the outskirts of downtown, such as the one on Congress Square or Tivoli Park.

In Slovenia, if the child is younger than 12 years old, or shorter than 150 cm, then they must be placed in a child’s seat. Once they turn 12, or reach a height of 150 cm, then the child can sit in the backseat and use the traditional seat beat. You can ask the hire company to provide you with a child’s seat and explain the height or age of your child to make sure that the correct one is provided. The seat must meet European standards and have a label that marks it ECE 44/03 or 44/04.
