Slovenia and Italy: Route through the Green Capital-city and the Julian Alps, tailor-made by car

Important remarks

- Driving through Slovenia: To drive on Slovenian motorways, you must display a so-called vignette (vinjeta, in Slovenian). Remember that in rental cars the vignette is not included. You can buy them at all petrol stations in Slovenia or in neighbouring countries, as well as at branches of national and international automobile clubs, at Slovenian post offices and at some kiosks. You should place the sticker in one corner of the windscreen. If you're entering Slovenia from a bordering country, always make sure you have the vignette in place before using Slovenian motorways. If you drive on the motorway without a valid vignette, you can be fined up to 800 euros. The price for vehicles up to 3,500 kg is 15 euros (weekly vignette) and 30 euros (monthly vignette), according to 2017 rates. For more information, you can contact the Slovenian Embassy based in your country.

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.

- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.

- Please make sure you have a valid passport for this tour as we'll be crossing several international borders.

- You must give notice that you are going to cross the border while collecting the vehicle. Authorisation may be required to drive through certain countries or areas/states (as is the case in the US and Canada). Depending on the conditions set out in the rental contract and the company hired, you might be charged a surcharge payable at the destination office.
