Car rental Piran Municipality

If your preferred mode of travel is channeling the spirit of freedom on wheels, the Piran Municipality unfolds an enchanting journey draped in the brilliance of nature and a rich blend of Slovenian culture.

Driving in Slovenia

Driving in Slovenia offers remarkable scenic routes, however, the rules are quite different than in the UK. Right-hand traffic rules apply in Slovenia, remember to keep to the right side of the road!

Road Rules and Speed Limits

• Urban zone: 50km/h
• Outside urban zones: 90km/h
• Motorways and express roads: 130km/h
• A tolerance of 10% is allowed on the stated speed limits

Car Class Recommendations

Given the diverse terrains and the age of some of the cities, we recommend compact cars for urban areas and SUVs for a more rural exploration. Both offer easier manoeuvrability and are better suited for the narrower roads.

Mobility and Attractions

Renting a car will provide you a greater mobility and flexibility to visit the major attractions at your own comfort and leisurely pace. Some of them include:

• St George’s Parish Church
• Tartini Square
• The City Walls
• Secovlje Salina Nature Park

Coastline Journey and Beaches

The Slovenian coast is short but incredibly scenic. Reminiscent of Italy’s Amalfi coast, the road is dramatic, steep, and hugely enjoyable to drive. The route offers beautiful sea views and leads to some of the region's most beautiful beaches.

The Climate

Slovenia has a coastal Mediterranean climate. Expect hot summers, mild winters and beautiful shoulder seasons. You can enjoy outdoor activities nearly all year-round.

Country and People

The locals are friendly, welcoming, and most speak English quite well making communication hassle-free.

The currency

Slovenia uses the euro (€) as its currency. Credit cards are widely accepted, though it is advisable to carry some cash for smaller establishments or open-air markets.

Seasonal Events

Marvellous events like the Piran Musical Evenings and the Saltworker's Festival show the region's rich tradition, proving as a mirror to Slovenian history and culture.

We hope this guide inspires you to discover Piran Municipality and make the most of your journey with your rental car. Happy Driving!
