Why isn’t Uber in Slovenia?

Uber is not in Slovenia because of the following reasons:

It’s not that easy to be a taxi driver in Slovenia. It is expensive and time-consuming for drivers to obtain licenses, have car check-ups, and have extra insurance in order to become a taxi driver in the country.

Local taxi firms are anxious because it might render another boon to Uber drivers by avoiding such strict rules. They fear that Uber will get all it wants.

The government had tried to make laws for services like Uber in 2016 and 2018. These moves were ill-fated because they did not make everybody happy.

What can you use instead of Uber in Slovenia?

Don’t worry! Even without Uber, you have good options for traveling in Slovenia:

1. Local taxis: Slovenia has enough taxi companies to ensure a safe and affordable ride. We will not recommend you use unlicensed taxis on the street or at train stations and airports. They might overcharge you.
   
2. Shuttle services: Those are ideal for travel from airport to hotel or trips between cities. Compared to taxis, they are way cheaper for longer rides.
   
3. Pre-booked transfers: You can pre-book a car with a fixed price for the service. This is useful while picking up from airports or traveling between cities.
