Hire a local driver from Zagreb for business travel, Plitvice Lakes day trips, wine country tours, and exploring Croatia's capital and its surroundings with ease.
Zagreb is Croatia's business capital, a city of nearly a million people with tram-clogged streets, complicated one-way systems, and parking that requires a PhD in zone codes. The upper town (Gornji Grad) is mostly pedestrian, and the lower town's Art Nouveau blocks are congested during working hours.
For business travellers, a private driver means reliable airport pickups, meeting-to-meeting transport without taxi uncertainty, and a professional image. For leisure visitors, Zagreb is a launchpad: Plitvice Lakes are 2 hours south, the Zagorje wine and castle region is an hour north, and the Slavonia flatlands with their rural charm are to the east.
Unlike the Dalmatian coast, the Zagreb region has excellent road infrastructure — motorways in every direction. But the destinations themselves (medieval castles, hilltop vineyards, thermal spas) are off the main roads, on winding country lanes where a local driver makes all the difference.
Each itinerary is fully customisable. Tell your driver what interests you and they'll adjust on the fly.
The most popular day trip from Zagreb. The drive south on the A1 motorway takes about 2 hours, then you spend 4–6 hours walking the boardwalk trail through 16 cascading turquoise lakes. On the return, stop at Rastoke — a village built around waterfalls where water mills still function. Your driver handles parking (which can be chaotic at Plitvice in summer) and has you back in Zagreb for dinner.
The Zagorje region north of Zagreb is fairytale Croatia: rolling green hills dotted with medieval castles, thermal spas, and family vineyards. Trakošćan is a postcard-perfect castle reflected in its own lake. Veliki Tabor is a 12th-century fortress with thick round towers. Between them, stop at family wine cellars for tastings of Škrlet and Graševina whites. Kumrovec is Tito's birthplace, preserved as an open-air ethnographic museum.
Samobor is a charming small town just 30 minutes from Zagreb, famous across Croatia for its kremšnita (custard cream cake). Walk the old town, climb to the ruined fortress above it, then head into the Žumberak-Samoborsko Gorje Nature Park for forest walks, waterfalls, and complete silence. It's a world away from Zagreb's noise.
Varaždin is Croatia's baroque gem — a perfectly preserved 18th-century town with a fortress, ornate churches, and the best-preserved historic centre in continental Croatia. It was briefly Croatia's capital and its architecture shows it. Combine with a soak at Terme Sveti Martin, one of Croatia's top thermal spa resorts, where the water comes from 800 metres underground at 33°C.

Ljubljana is 90 minutes from Zagreb, Lake Bled about 2.5 hours. Cross-border hires to Slovenia are available with a small surcharge. Your driver handles the border — both countries are in the EU so it's quick.
Zagreb Airport (ZAG) is 17km from the city centre. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board and handles your luggage. The drive to central Zagreb takes 20–35 minutes depending on traffic.
Absolutely. The upper town has medieval charm, the lower town has excellent museums (Museum of Broken Relationships is world-famous), the food scene is booming, and the café culture rivals Vienna's. Most visitors underestimate it.
“Used a private driver for a week of business meetings across Zagreb. Always on time, professional, clean car. Made the corporate travel side completely stress-free.”
“The Zagorje castles day trip was magical. Trakošćan reflected in the lake, wine tasting in a 200-year-old cellar, and not another tourist in sight.”
