Mostar, the city of sun and history, is the perfect starting point for exploring the breathtaking beauty of Herzegovina. However, one of the most common questions visitors ask themselves upon arriving at Mostar Airport or the main bus station is: “What is the best way to get around?”. While taxis and public transport are options, in this blog, we explore why a car rental in Mostar is the smartest investment for your vacation.
1. Total Freedom Without Waiting in the Herzegovinian Heat
Mostar is famous for its high temperatures, often exceeding 40°C (104°F) in the summer. Waiting for a bus or searching for an available taxi in the peak of the season can be exhausting. With a rental car, your vacation starts the moment you step into a climate-controlled vehicle. You choose when to leave and when to return.
2. Visit the “Herzegovinian Golden Circle” in One Day
To visit the Blagaj Tekke, Počitelj, Međugorje, and the Kravica Waterfalls using public buses, you would need at least three days and a lot of complicated planning. With a rental car, all these locations are accessible in a single day.
- Mostar to Blagaj: 15 min drive.
- Mostar to Kravica: 45 min drive. Public transport to some of these locations is scarce or non-existent, making a car an absolute necessity for sightseeing.
3. Cost-Efficiency: Is Car Rental Really More Expensive?
When you add up the costs of taxi rides from the airport to the city, and then from Mostar to Kravica and back, the total often exceeds the daily price of a rental car. If you are traveling as a couple or a family, renting a car in Mostar becomes the most economical option. At EG Rent-a-car, we provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
4. Comfort and Security for Your Belongings
Traveling with children or heavy luggage on public transport is a challenge. By renting a car, your suitcases, swimming gear, and souvenirs are always safe in the trunk. No need to carry bags through the crowds of the Old Town – your “mobile home” is waiting for you in the parking lot.
5. Hidden Gems Accessible Only by Car
Herzegovina is full of hidden viewpoints (like the Fortica Hill overlooking Mostar) and local riverside restaurants along the Buna River that buses simply don’t reach. Having your own vehicle allows you to get off the beaten path and experience the true spirit of our region.
