| <b>Geting from airport to Koper-Capodistria</b><br> |
| <p>We have arranged for some kind of shuttle, which will take visitors from Trieste airport (Ronchi del Legionari) or |
| Ljubljana-Brnik airport to Koper. this will cost about 10 EUR (max) per person and will take you from the airport |
| directly to the center of Koper. It is cheaper than train and you don't have to worry about catching a bus or train |
| or getting lost. :-)</p> |
| <b>Car rentals</b><br> |
| <p>If anyone is interested, a car rental company has offered some very cheap prices for renting cars to conference |
| visitors. this would include also delivering the cars to the airport, if you wished so. If two or more of you decided to |
| share a car, you could get off much better than using the bus services. Besides, the slovenian coast is only about 40 |
| kilometers long, but has some very nice scenery. This would also enable you to look for accomodation outside of the |
| city center and you could get much better prices for rooms.</p> |
| <p>The car-rental company promised us to not worry you much aboutinternational driving licenses, since they have |
| never had any problems with that. The website is still being worked on, but if you are interested in their current |
| prices (OOoCon attendees are entitled to 10 % discount), check out <a href="http://rentacarslo.net">http://rentacarslo.net</a>.</p> |
| <p>We have been asked, however, that you do not make reservations through the form on the website, because you |
| will be entitled to different prices and conditions. Anyone interested in renting a car, should send information to |
| <a href="mailto:rentacar@urska.org">rentacar@urska.org</a>. </p> |
