Rovinj to Trieste in about an hour and three quarters: north up the Istrian motorway, into Slovenia past Koper and over the last border into Italy — a private car from your Rovinj hotel to a Trieste address, a cruise departure at the Stazione Marittima or Trieste Airport.
Drive from Rovinj to Trieste in about 1h 45m. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — to a hotel in Trieste, the cruise terminal or Trieste Airport, with an optional stop on the Slovenian coast.
Pickup at your hotel if it is outside the old town. The old town is car-free, so guests staying inside the walls meet us at its edge — Valdibora or Porton Biondi. Then east to Kanfanar and onto the A9 northwards.
The first of two Schengen-internal crossings. Police checks or temporary border controls may occur, so keep a passport or national ID card at hand and allow some flexibility in journey time.
Koper lies directly on the way north, and Piran sits on its peninsula a little to the west — either one breaks the journey before the final border into Italy.
The second crossing, just before Trieste. Police checks or temporary border controls may occur here as well.
Into Trieste along the coast: drop-off at your hotel or address, at the Stazione Marittima on Molo dei Bersaglieri for cruise departures, or further on at Trieste Airport (TRS) at Ronchi dei Legionari.
Per vehicle, not per person. Every quote includes tolls, fuel, the cross-border route, assistance with loading and unloading luggage, and child seats available on request.

From Trieste the Slovenian capital is close: we also drive from Trieste to Ljubljana over the Karst.
Travelling the other way? Trieste to Rovinj brings you south from the Italian coast into Istria.
Trieste → Rovinj →Rovinj to Trieste is about 103 km, from the west coast of Croatian Istria to the Italian port city. The road leaves Rovinj for Kanfanar, follows the Istrian A9 motorway north, crosses into Slovenia, skirts Koper on the coast and reaches Italy at Škofije/Rabuiese, just before Trieste. Allow about an hour and three quarters without stops.
Rovinj has no railway station, so there is no train to Trieste; the realistic public alternative is the coach. FlixBus runs direct coaches from Rovinj to Trieste; check the current timetable before travelling. A private transfer collects you at your Rovinj hotel or at the edge of the old town and takes you straight to your Trieste address, the cruise terminal or the airport, with a stop on the Slovenian coast if you want one.
The route crosses Croatia–Slovenia and then Slovenia–Italy. All three countries are in the Schengen area, but police checks or temporary border controls may occur at either border. Every passenger should keep a passport or national ID card within reach; leave some margin if you have a ship or flight to catch.
Cars cannot enter Rovinj’s old town, so if you are staying inside it we meet you at its edge, at Valdibora or Porton Biondi; hotels elsewhere in Rovinj we collect from the door. In Trieste we drop off at hotels and addresses, at the Stazione Marittima for cruise departures and at Trieste Airport (TRS) at Ronchi dei Legionari.

Possibly, at both borders. Both crossings are Schengen-internal, but police checks or temporary border controls may occur at either. Every passenger should carry a passport or national ID card.
Yes. We drop off at the Stazione Marittima on Molo dei Bersaglieri, or at Trieste Airport (TRS) at Ronchi dei Legionari, about 147 km from Rovinj. Tell us your check-in or flight time and we plan the pickup around it.
Yes. Both are on the Slovenian coast between the two borders; Koper is directly on the route and Piran a short detour. Mention the stop in your request and add time for the visit.
