COMPARE AIRPORTS AND ROUTES
Choose Your Gateway to Istria
Renting a car for Istria sounds straightforward until the first border crossing in a hire vehicle, the first narrow lane into Meneghetti's estate, or the first time you try to find Grand Park Hotel's harbour entrance after a long-haul flight. Bel'Istria drivers do these routes every week. The local knowledge is not incidental, it is the product.
A private transfer with Bel'Istria also means the journey starts the moment you walk through arrivals. No rental desk queues, no navigation stress through Graz or Rijeka or the Slovenian Karst, no worrying about which Croatian motorway requires a toll payment. The vehicle leaves when you are ready, goes where you need to go, and stops if you ask it to.

THE ONBOARD SIGNATURE EXPERIENCE
Your VIP Experience With Bel'Istria
The cabin is prepared before you arrive. Chilled water is on board, the temperature is set, and the Wi-Fi is running. Whether you want to work, decompress, or simply watch the Istrian coastline appear through the window, the space accommodates it without being asked.
Child seats, extra luggage, airport pickups at unusual hours, last-minute changes to the drop-off location - none of these require an explanation. The service adjusts to the trip, not the other way around. For guests travelling with specific needs or on tight schedules, that flexibility is worth more than any individual amenity.
Beyond the transfer itself, Bel'Istria can arrange private, customized experiences such as truffle hunts in the Motovun forest, tastings at working olive oil estates near Bale, tables at Michelin-recognised restaurants across the peninsula, and guided tours of Rovinj's old town on your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which airport is closest to Istria?
Trieste Airport (TRS) is the closest international airport to Istria, with transfers to Rovinj taking around two hours and to Kempinski Hotel Adriatic in Savudrija around ninety minutes. Pula Airport (PUY) is on the Istrian peninsula itself and has the shortest transfers of all — around forty minutes to Rovinj — but operates mainly seasonal and charter flights. For year-round international connectivity, Trieste and Venice Marco Polo are the most reliable options.
Can Bel'Istria collect from one airport and return to a different one?
Yes. Guests who fly into Venice and out of Ljubljana, or arrive at Pula and depart from Zagreb, can book both legs with Bel'Istria. Contact us directly to arrange multi-airport itineraries.
Do you serve Opatija and the Kvarner Riviera as well as Istria?
Yes. Bel'Istria provides transfers to Opatija, Ikador Luxury Boutique Hotel and the broader Kvarner Riviera from all six airports. Opatija is reached around one hour thirty minutes from Trieste Airport and one hour thirty minutes from Zagreb Airport.
Is a private transfer worth it compared to renting a car?
For most guests staying at a luxury property in Istria, yes. Rental cars in Croatia require additional insurance for cross-border travel, and many luxury properties — Meneghetti Wine Hotel, Grand Park Hotel, Kempinski Hotel Adriatic — have access routes that benefit from local knowledge. A private transfer also removes navigation stress after a long flight and allows guests to begin the stay from the moment they land.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking as soon as your flights are confirmed, particularly in July and August when demand across Istria is highest. Same-day and next-day bookings are possible subject to availability but cannot always be guaranteed during peak season.
Can you arrange transfers for larger groups or corporate events?
Yes. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter VIP Edition accommodates up to eight passengers. For larger groups or corporate event logistics requiring multiple vehicles, contact Bel'Istria directly to discuss coordination.
