How to find a cheap car hire deal in Koper

  • Daily rental prices in Koper start from just $67.

  • Staying a little longer and want to explore beyond the tourist trail? $223 is the lowest rate for a weekly rental.

  • Book early to secure the best price for a Koper car hire. In addition to lower rates, you're more likely to find a car that fits your style or needs.

  • Get behind the wheel with Sixt, Avant Car or Europcar. They're some of the most reliable providers in the city.

  • Whether you book with Sixt or a different supplier, be sure to check the coverage on your Koper car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others sell it as a separate extra.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to lock in a good deal if the provider needs to move vehicles between sites. Find the best available rates by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Avoid those steep refueling fees by choosing a ride with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Start your journey with a full tank and return it the same, and pay only for what you use.

  • Hit the highway without counting the miles and racking up extra charges. Go to the 'Policies' filter and pick 'Unlimited mileage' to find a ride that lets you drive as far as you want.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Choosing excess insurance for your Koper car hire can take the stress out of driving. It protects you from paying a big excess fee in case of a collision or theft. Insurance policies can differ from one provider to another, so check how each one stacks up.

  • Level up your ride with extras like a reverse camera and GPS unit. They can make your journey easier and more relaxed when you rent a car in Koper.

Good to know

  • Check each company's age requirements before booking your car hire in Slovenia. Rules can differ, and added costs or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, just uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to explore your options.

  • Travel plans include the kids? Car seat rules vary from one place to another, and the right setup may depend on their weight, height and age. Make sure you add the right one to your Koper car hire booking.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when collecting your rental car: your physical driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any extra must-haves will be shown in your booking.

  • Driving in Slovenia can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are often about 45kph through built-up areas and around 125kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • In Slovenia, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you intend to have a couple of drinks, leave the driving to someone else or use public transport instead.

  • Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • Spend less time worrying about where to park and more time relaxing at Hotel San Rocco. Around 6 kilometres from central Koper, it comes with accessible parking, an outdoor swimming pool and room service.

  • Villa Majda is also a smart pick if a few road trips are on your itinerary. It features parking, plus a pool and express check-out. Make this your base and you'll be roughly 10 kilometres from the city centre.

  • Like some more inspiration? Browse the full lineup of hotels in Koper. You can narrow things down using the filters — try 'Parking,' 'Outdoor parking,' or 'Valet parking.' If you're driving electric, you can use the 'Electric vehicle (EV) charging station' filter.

  • After you've locked in a car hire deal in Koper and your hotel, all that's left to do is decide where to head to first. Kick things off with major attractions like Koper Cathedral and Bell Tower, Hlavatyjev Park / Parco Robert Hlavaty and Fontana.
