Requirements for Renting a Car in Slovenia

The following documents and conditions are generally required (it is advisable to confirm directly with the rental company):

  • Valid driving licence: You must hold a valid driving licence from your country of origin, with at least 1 or 2 years of driving experience (depending on the company).
  • International Driving Permit (IDP): If your driving licence is not issued by a European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) country and is not in Latin script, you will likely be required to present an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your original licence.
  • Credit card: A credit card (often not debit) in the main driver’s name is required for the security deposit.
  • Identity document: Valid passport or ID card.

Companies, opening hours and desk locations can change. Check with the rental company before booking.

Tips for renting a car in Slovenia

  1. Check that your driver's license is valid in Slovenia. Some countries also ask for an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is only valid together with your national license.
  2. Review what the rental includes: collision damage waiver, third-party liability and the deductible. Most companies also hold a deposit on a credit card in the driver's name.
  3. Learn the local rules before you drive: speed limits, right of way, alcohol limits and tolls.
  4. Check which side of the road traffic drives on and where the steering wheel is.
  5. At pickup, photograph the car (inside and out) and the fuel level, and keep the photos until the deposit is returned.
  6. Know what to do in an accident: who to call, what to document and how to report it to the rental company.
