Other Types of Transportation
- Bus: The main bus hub is located in Ljubljana. The network of bus stations and stops makes travelling by bus effective; it is possible to reach almost any part of the country within a couple of hours.
- Taxis: Taxis can easily be found outside airports and train stations. It is good practice to ask for an approximate fare before the ride and pay-meter start. Keep in mind that the cost may vary depending on traffic in the city. You can check the meter to see if the tip-”extra” is being included in the fare.
- Rental Car: If you decide to rent a car, we suggest arranging this from the U.S. – it’s cheaper. Be sure to find out the exact address of the location to pick up your rental car, (preferably at your arrival airport). It’s best to make these arrangements in advance. Cars are also available locally, check www.lju-airport.si
