Ljubljana Airport has a total of 19 car rental companies spread across two airport locations – Parking House ground floor and Terminal B arrivals ground floor – meaning you won’t be short of options when making your choice. The best chance of finding a good deal is to book online and as far in advance as you can – and do remember to have your passport and a form of photo ID to hand when you pick up your car, as this will help speed things up. Below are our two top picks for cheap car rental deals at Ljubljana Airport.
Avantcar
Finding the best value car hire deal among 19 rental companies can be a bit of a minefield, but after conducting a number of searches we picked out Avantcar as offering the best combination of affordability and other benefits. During our research, we found several cars available for less than €220 a week, including a Toyota Yaris and a Volkswagen Polo. They also come with consistently excellent customer reviews.
Alamo
Our next choice would be Alamo, another notable name in the car hire sector. Alamo have the largest choice of vehicles of all the car rental agencies at Ljubljana Airport. Among their airport fleet are numerous affordable options, with the stand-out deals a Fiat 500 which is available for €324 per week and a Peugeot 208, both of which are available for less than €180 per week, which represents some of the cheapest rates we’ve seen anywhere in Europe. Alamo’s offices at the airport are open from 7am to 11pm daily, with an early closure on Sundays.
