Road trips
Rent a Tesla for a road trip and stop counting kilometres.
Unlimited mileage, 576 km on a charge, and a car that plans its own charging stops. Slovenia in a week, or across the border into Croatia, Austria and Italy.
Why an EV suits this country
Slovenia is the right size for an electric car.
Two hundred and fifty kilometres across at its widest, and everything worth seeing packed inside that. Ljubljana to Bled is forty minutes, to the Adriatic an hour and a half, to the Austrian border under an hour. A single charge covers most of what you'd want to do in a day, with plenty left over.
That changes what a road trip feels like. There is no morning spent working out where the next station is and no detour built into the route — you drive where you were going anyway, and if the battery needs topping up, the car has already put the stop on the map with an arrival percentage attached.
The mountain roads are where the case gets strongest. On the Vršič, regenerative braking does nearly all the work on the way down and puts charge back while it does it. Going up there is no gearbox hunting for a ratio — just torque, immediately, on every hairpin.
And the whole time it's silent. In a valley in the Triglav national park, that turns out to matter more than you'd expect.
Routes people take
Six trips that work well.
Ljubljana → Bled → Bohinj
The classic first day. Around 160 km all in, forest roads and two lakes, back in the city for dinner.
The Vršič pass
Fifty hairpins over the Julian Alps to Soča valley. Closed in winter, spectacular the rest of the year, and made for an EV.
Ljubljana → Piran → Portorož
Motorway most of the way, Venetian old town at the end. 240 km return, well within one charge.
Kranjska Gora and the border
An hour up the Sava valley to the ski town, with Austria and Italy both within twenty minutes of it.
Across to Zagreb
Under two hours from Ljubljana. Cross-border travel needs noting on the agreement beforehand — tell us when booking.
Trieste, Venice, Klagenfurt
Trieste is ninety minutes, Klagenfurt an hour and a half, Venice around three. All easy days out, all need the border noted in advance.
One charge, most days.
576 km on the Long Range, 629 km on the 2026 car — against a country 250 km wide.
The numbers
Distances and range.
Superchargers: Kranj 30 km, Postojna 52, Novo Mesto 72, Celje 80, Koper 104, Maribor 130 — all measured from Ljubljana.
Every one of those distances is included. There is no daily cap and no per-kilometre charge, so the route can change on the morning without anyone recalculating anything.
Before you set off
Worth arranging in advance.
- ＋Cross-border travel — Croatia, Austria or Italy must be noted on the agreement and insurance beforehand.
- ＋Vignettes — Slovenia's is included with the car; Austria requires its own, Croatia uses conventional tolls.
- ＋Seasonal closures — high alpine passes including Vršič close in winter — tell us your dates and we'll flag what's open.
- ＋Charging where you sleep — ask the hotel or apartment before you arrive; overnight charging is the cheapest option by far.
- ＋Child seats — 10€ per day, capped at 30€ for the whole rental however long the trip.
- ＋Where you finish — we collect from wherever the trip ends, including the airport.
From the Alps to the Adriatic in an afternoon.
And back the same day, if you feel like it — the kilometres cost nothing extra.
Questions answered
Frequently asked questions.
Can I rent a Tesla for a road trip?
Yes, and it's what most of our longer rentals are. Unlimited mileage means the route is yours to decide — there is no daily allowance to plan around and nothing to settle at the end.
Can I drive the car to Croatia, Austria or Italy?
Yes, but it has to be noted on the rental agreement and the insurance before you leave. Tell us when booking — it's a formality, but it cannot be arranged retroactively.
Will the range be enough for a road trip?
The Long Range Model 3 covers 576 km on a charge and the 2026 car 629 km. Slovenia is around 250 km across at its widest, so most days need no charging stop at all.
How do I plan charging on a longer route?
You don't, mostly. Enter the final destination and the car adds Supercharger stops itself, with arrival percentages and timings. Six Superchargers cover Slovenia, and the network is dense across Croatia, Austria and Italy.
How much does charging cost on a road trip?
Considerably less than fuel for the same distance. Charging overnight where you sleep is cheapest; a Supercharger stop costs a fraction of filling a petrol tank of comparable range.
Is a week long enough to see Slovenia?
Comfortably. Ljubljana, Bled, Bohinj, the Vršič pass, Piran and Postojna fit into a week without rushing — roughly 1200–1800 km in total, all of it included.
What if something goes wrong far from Ljubljana?
Message us and we arrange recovery at our cost. The exception is a flat battery, where the tow is billed to the renter — which is why the car leaves at 80 % and plans its own charging stops.
