A car and driver for the day

When a day takes in several places, a point-to-point transfer is the wrong shape. Take the car and driver for half a day or a full one: we settle the route as we go, I wait at every stop, and the price is known before we set off.

Prefer to choose your own stops?

A day is priced by time, not by distance: you are paying for the driver's day, for the waiting at every stop and for the car being yours until evening. The routes stay inside Slovenia and the driver is home the same day.

The price is per car, not per person. If the day runs past the included hours or kilometres, each further hour is €45 and each kilometre €1. I say so before we leave, not after.

What is included

  • Driver and car for the whole agreed time
  • Fuel, tolls and parking
  • Waiting at every stop
  • Water on the road and a phone charger
  • A child seat free on request

Entry tickets are not included: the Vintgar Gorge, the Vogel cable car, Bled castle and the boat to the island are paid where you buy them. Tell me where you would like to stop and I will say which ones sell out and need booking ahead.

Who it suits

  • Anyone who wants several places in a day without rushing
  • Business days with meetings in more than one town
  • Families with children who need their own pauses
  • Cruise passengers in Koper with a few hours ashore
