PRIVATE CAR AND CHAUFFEUR SERVICE
Private Luxury Car Service in Istria
Bel'Istria provides private, chauffeur-driven car service across Istria and the wider Croatian coast. Point-to-point between towns, hotels, marinas and restaurants, on your schedule, in a Mercedes with a chauffeur who knows the roads. No shared vehicles, no waiting, no meters.
PRIVATE CAR SERVICES
Chauffeur-Driven Travel, Anywhere in Istria
Whether it is a single transfer between two towns or a car at your disposal for the day, our chauffeurs move you privately and on time. We cover the whole peninsula and the routes beyond it, from Rovinj and Poreč to Opatija and Zagreb, and across the borders into Italy and Slovenia. Every journey is door to door, the car is yours alone, and the price is agreed in advance with tolls and taxes included.
Arriving by air first? We also run airport transfers and dedicated hotel transfers as part of the same booking.
Point-to-Point Transfers
A private car and chauffeur between any two points in Istria or Croatia, from a hotel to a restaurant, a town to a marina, or one city to the next. You travel alone in the vehicle, on your own schedule, with no shared rides and no meter running. The price is fixed before you set off.
Yacht and Superyacht Transfers
Chauffeured transfers to and from marinas and berths across the Istrian coast, timed to your arrival on the water rather than a rigid pickup slot. We know the marinas at Rovinj, Pula, Poreč and Opatija, and the quiet approaches to them. Luggage and provisions are handled so you step straight from car to gangway.
Port Transfers with VIP Assistance
Meet and greet and door-to-door transfers from cruise ports and marinas, with your chauffeur waiting as you disembark. We track arrival times and hold the car for delays, so a late berthing never leaves you stranded. From the quay you go straight to your hotel or onward destination without the taxi queue.
Restaurant and Winery Transfers
Evening transfers to Istria's restaurants, konobas and wineries, so the whole table can enjoy the wine and no one has to drive home. We know the inland roads to the hilltop restaurants around Motovun and Grožnjan, which are dark and narrow after dinner. The car is there when you finish, whatever time that turns out to be.
Cross-Border Transfers
Private travel into Italy and Slovenia, to Trieste, Venice, Ljubljana or beyond, in one unbroken journey. As all three countries are in Schengen, there is no border stop and no change of vehicle along the way. Your chauffeur handles the route and the tolls while you stay put in the same car.

LUXURY CHAUFFEUR TRANSFER
Why Choose Bel'Istria
You get an all-black, unbranded Mercedes and a professional chauffeur rather than a taxi driver, someone who knows every route in Istria and drives them week in, week out. The car arrives early, the cabin is clean and climate-controlled, and the price is fixed before you travel. Every journey stays private, with no shared rides and no meter, so what you book is exactly what you get.
It is the same standard we bring to guests who cannot afford a mistake in their transport, from executives and officials to touring artists and public figures. That reliability is the whole point of a private car service, the quiet confidence that the vehicle, the timing and the discretion are already handled, so you can stop thinking about them. For touring days and tailor-made visits we also arrange exclusive experiences across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas does Bel'Istria cover?
All of Istria and the wider Croatian coast, from Rovinj, Poreč and Pula up to Opatija and inland to the hill towns, plus longer routes to Zagreb, Plitvice and Dalmatia. We also run cross-border trips into Italy and Slovenia, including Trieste, Venice and Ljubljana. For less central destinations we confirm the routing and timing when you enquire, so there are no surprises on the day.
Can I hire a car and chauffeur by the hour?
Yes. Our chauffeur-at-disposal packages run in blocks of 3, 5, 8 and 12 hours, with the car and driver on standby for the whole time and unlimited stops within it. It works well for a day of meetings, shopping or sightseeing, or an evening out, where a fixed point-to-point booking would be too rigid. We confirm the right block once we know your plans for the day.
Does Bel'Istria handle transfers to marinas and yachts?
Yes. We time marina, port and yacht transfers to your arrival on the water rather than a fixed slot, and we hold the car for delays so a late berthing is never a problem. Meet and greet and luggage handling are included, and we know the marinas and their approaches across the Istrian coast. Provisions and multiple vehicles can be arranged for larger parties or crews.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. The price is agreed in advance and includes motorway tolls and taxes, so the figure we quote is the figure you pay, with no meter and no surcharges added later. We confirm the vehicle, the route and the price in writing before the journey. For hourly and multi-day bookings the same all-inclusive approach applies.
