  5. Vršič
  6. Bovec
  7. Kobarid
  8. Ljubljana

Lake Bled and its island come before the wilder Lake Bohinj, at the foot of Triglav. Via Kranjska Gora, the Vršič Pass road crosses the Julian Alps in cobbled hairpin bends before descending into the turquoise Soča Valley, Bovec and Kobarid. The pass is narrow and closed in winter: a campervan or converted van is the most at ease there.

To the south-west, the Postojna and Škocjan caves, among the largest in Europe, open the road to the Karst and its vineyards. You then reach the short Slovenian coast and Piran with its Venetian lanes, before crossing into Croatian Istria as far as Rovinj. Short, varied stages between the underground, the vines and the sea.

To the north-east, the unspoilt glacial Logar Valley offers easy walks at the foot of the Kamnik Alps. The road then reaches Maribor and its vineyards, then Ptuj, the oldest town in the country, before returning via the spa resorts of Slovenian Styria. A quiet loop, far from the crowds of Bled.

Weather and seasons

When to go in Ljubljana?

Best time

May, June and September

May to June, September
highs 20 to 26 °C, lows 9 to 14 °C

The best months to leave from Ljubljana: the alpine passes are open, the lakes and rivers magnificent and the campsites at Bled or in the Soča Valley still quiet. September is ideal for combining the mountains and the Adriatic coast.

High season

July and August

July to August
highs 27 to 28 °C, lows 16 °C

Peak season: Bled, Bohinj and the Soča Valley are very busy, as is the coast. Book campsites and your vehicle in advance, and visit the best-known sites early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

March, April and October

March to April, October
highs 12 to 17 °C, lows 1 to 7 °C

The shoulder seasons are cool in the mountains, where the Vršič Pass can stay closed in spring. The caves, the Karst and the coast remain accessible, with autumn colours in the vineyards in October.

Winter

November to February
highs 5 to 10 °C, lows -4 to 3 °C

Practical tips

Everything to know before hitting the road

Mandatory electronic vignette

Slovenian motorways require an electronic vignette, whose category depends on the vehicle's height. Ask the rental company whether it is already included; if not, buy it online before joining the motorway, as checks are automatic.

No wild camping

Wild camping and overnight parking outside designated places are banned in Slovenia and heavily fined, especially around Bled and in Triglav National Park. Campsites and motorhome areas are plentiful and well kept.

The Vršič Pass

The Vršič Pass road has around fifty hairpin bends, some of them cobbled. It is closed in winter and reserved for light vehicles: check that it is open and preferably drive it early in the morning, outside weekends.

What travellers ask

Your questions about a road trip in Ljubljana

Where can I pick up a campervan in Ljubljana?

Three partner companies welcome you in Ljubljana: Anywhere Campers, Blurent and Petroni. The exact handover address and appointment time are given in your booking confirmation, along with directions to the depot from the railway station or the airport.

How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Ljubljana?

Our searches in October 2026 found prices from €181 per day, mandatory fees included, comparing two rental companies: from €181 for a campervan in January and from €217 in July, and from €238 for a large motorhome in winter. The price depends on the season, the length of hire and the vehicle: run a search with your dates to get real prices.

Can I drive to Croatia or Italy with a motorhome hired in Slovenia?

Yes, most rental companies allow neighbouring countries, and the borders with Croatia, Italy and Austria are open. Check the list of countries covered by the insurance in the offer conditions, especially if you plan to go further, to Bosnia or Montenegro.

Which vehicle should I choose for the Julian Alps?

For the Vršič Pass and small mountain roads, a campervan or converted van is the best suited and sometimes the only one allowed. For the Karst, the coast and the east of the country, where roads are wider, a low-profile motorhome offers more comfort for families.

How many days should I plan in Slovenia?

A week lets you tour the country: Bled, the Soča, the Karst caves and the coast. With four to five days, choose a single region, the Julian Alps or the Karst and the coast, to enjoy each stop without rushing.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Ljubljana

What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Slovenia?

A European category B licence is enough for motorhomes, campervans and converted vans under 3.5 tonnes. With a non-European licence, an international driving permit may be required. Each rental company also sets a minimum age and a minimum number of years of driving, shown in the offer conditions.

Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in Slovenia?

Campsites are plentiful and of good quality, especially at Bled, Bohinj, in the Soča Valley and on the coast. Motorhome areas complete the offer in many towns. Book your pitches in summer, particularly around the lakes.

Can I return the motorhome in another city?

Some rental companies offer a return to another depot, for example in Croatia, with a one-way fee. Enter your return city when searching: only compatible offers are shown, with the fees included in the displayed price.

How do I get to the depot from Ljubljana airport?

Jože Pučnik Airport is in Brnik, north of Ljubljana. Shuttles and buses connect it to the city centre; a taxi remains the easiest option with luggage. Let the rental company know your arrival time to arrange the vehicle handover.

Does Slovenia use the euro?

Yes, Slovenia uses the euro and is part of the Schengen Area, like neighbouring Croatia, Italy and Austria. Bank cards are accepted almost everywhere, including at campsites and petrol stations, which makes a tour across several countries easier.

When should I book for summer in Slovenia?

Several months ahead for July and August, when Bled and the Soča Valley attract many travellers. In May, June and September, the choice remains wide a few weeks before departure, with much quieter sites.

About us

Why start a motorhome trip from Ljubljana

Ljubljana is the ideal starting point for discovering Slovenia, one of the most varied countries in Europe for such a small area. Within an hour's drive you can reach Lake Bled, the Karst caves or the Logar Valley; within two hours, the Adriatic coast or the Soča Valley. Stages are short and the scenery keeps changing.

The three partner companies offer campervans, converted vans and motorhomes for every kind of traveller, with prices observed from €181 per day in October 2026. The capital itself, green and pedestrian-friendly, deserves a day's visit before setting off. And thanks to open borders, a trip can easily be extended to Croatian Istria, the Italian Dolomites or the Austrian lakes, without changing vehicle.
