Ultimate Slovenia Road Trip
Know before you go!
🤑 Money
Euro: $50 = €47.30 (time of writing guide 2024)
Cash: I always bring cash for every country because you never know. What if your cards lock or get stolen? There was never a situation where I couldn't use my card, but I was happy I still brought some cash.
Average Daily Cost Per Person: $113
💳 Credit Cards
I recommend applying for a 0% APR travel credit card. I have two, one from Capital One and the other from Bank of America. I have had no issues with them and no yearly fee! I even used my points from my Capital One to pay for a portion of my flight to Iceland!
🚗 Rental Car
Car Insurance: I did not get car insurance because my Bank of America CC covered me. If you're uncomfortable with that, I recommend purchasing insurance.
Young Driver Fee: Make sure you check their policies on young drivers. We got royally screwed.
Pro tip: check prices a few days to a week before leaving and see if prices have dropped. In Iceland, I originally paid $335.05 and rebooked 1.5 weeks for $174.35. Score! I was proud of that one. You can do this with accommodations as well!

Where to stay
What to do
The hostel offers discounts on rafting, kayaking, canyoning, and ziplining. I went canyoning, and Ally did ziplining, and we both had so much fun!!
We drove back to Ljubljana, dropped our car there, and caught a bus to Croatia. We booked through Flixbus because we could no longer use our Euro train pass.
We did these two things on our way back to Ljubljana! If you only have time for 1 do the caves!
