On a private transfer you're not locked into a straight A–to–B dash. Add a scenic stop — or three — for a small firm add-on, and your driver waits while you explore. Same door-to-door comfort, but the road between two cities becomes part of the holiday.
When you book a shared shuttle or a taxi, the drive is dead time — a straight line between two cities with nothing to show for it. On a private transfer the road is yours, and some of the best sights in the Balkans sit right on the way between the places people book. Adding a stop is the single most common request in our booking inbox, so we've made it simple: pick your route, tell us where you'd like to pause, and we build it into one firm price.
Pick your route. Any city-to-city or airport transfer we run can carry stops — you're already paying for a private car and driver, so the vehicle is yours for the day. Tell us the stops. Name the places you'd like to see; we'll also suggest the classic ones that fall naturally on your corridor. We quote a small fixed add-on per stop. Each stop is a firm price, quoted up front with your route — never metered, never a surprise at the end. The driver waits while you walk around, take photos or grab a coffee, and you set the pace. When you're ready, you carry on to your destination.
These routes have famous stops built right into the drive. Each links to the full transfer page — just tell us which stops you want when you book.
Pause at Perast for the fairy-tale bay and a short boat out to Our Lady of the Rocks, the island church in the middle of the fjord.
Oysters at Ston, the walled Ottoman village of Počitelj, and a swim under Kravica Waterfalls — three stops on one drive.
Follow the emerald Neretva valley and climb the old stone lanes of Počitelj above the river on your way inland.
Stop at Konjic and its old bridge, and at Jablanica on the turquoise Neretva — the scenic spine between the two cities.
Catch Perast on the way back, so you see the Bay of Kotor's prettiest village even if you missed it on the drive down.
Take in the mountain panorama of the Llogara Pass and the impossibly clear Blue Eye spring on the Albanian Riviera run.
A postcard baroque village on the Bay of Kotor, with boats out to the island church of Our Lady of the Rocks.
Europe's longest defensive walls, salt pans worked since Roman times, and some of the Adriatic's best oysters.
A stepped Ottoman-era stone village tumbling down to the Neretva, crowned by a fort with a valley-wide view.
A wide amphitheatre of falls in Herzegovina where you can swim in summer — a favourite cool-off on the Mostar run.
A sweeping mountain pass on the Albanian Riviera where the road tops out over the Ionian coast far below.
A deep, startlingly clear spring near Saranda where water wells up in vivid blues — a short, easy woodland walk.
Your driver stays with the car and waits while you explore — the waiting time is part of the stop, not an extra.
Fuel, road tolls and any border formalities on the way are all covered in the price we quote you.
A vetted local driver who speaks English, knows the stops, and can point you to the best of each one.
Each stop is a small fixed add-on, quoted up front with your route. No meter, no per-minute charges, no end-of-trip maths.
Each stop is a small fixed add-on to your transfer price — not a meter running while you're away. We quote the exact add-on for each stop together with your route, so you see one firm all-in number before you book. The amount depends on the stop and how much it adds to the drive.
Yes. Waiting is the whole idea — the driver stays with the car while you walk around, and the waiting time is included in the stop. You don't need to rush back or watch a clock.
Most routes, yes. Any private city-to-city or airport transfer we run can carry stops, and many corridors have famous sights right on the way. Some very long runs have less slack in the day — tell us your route and we'll confirm what fits.
A typical scenic stop runs about 15 to 45 minutes — long enough to walk around, take photos and grab a coffee. If you'd like longer at a particular place, just tell us when you book and we'll build it into the plan and the price.
Yes. If you decide you'd like a stop after booking, just message us and we'll confirm the firm add-on and update your quote. Where there's time on the day, you can even ask the driver — though pricing a stop in advance is always cleaner.
Usually, yes — because you're already paying for the transfer between two cities, adding a stop along the way is far cheaper than booking a standalone excursion. You cover the distance you were travelling anyway and simply pause at the good bits.
Send us your route and the places you'd love to see on the way. We'll come back with a firm all-in price — transfer plus stops, driver waiting included.
