Rent a Car on Jahorina: Your Key to the Olympic Mountain
Welcome to Jahorina, the legendary Olympic mountain offering world-class skiing in winter and breathtaking hiking in summer. To truly experience the freedom of this mountain paradise—from reaching the best slopes to discovering hidden restaurants—you need the flexibility of your own vehicle. Yes.ba delivers your rental car, including winter-ready 4×4 SUVs, directly to your hotel or apartment on Jahorina, so your adventure can begin the moment you arrive.
The Advantage of a Local Jahorina Car Hire Service
Your mountain holiday deserves a seamless and safe transport solution. As a local Bosnian company, we understand the specific conditions of Jahorina and provide a service that big city rental companies can’t match.
| Sa Yes.ba (Vaši planinski stručnjaci) | Bez automobila |
|---|---|
| Potpuna sloboda na planini. Vozite direktno od apartmana do bilo koje ski staze — Poljice, Ogorjelica, Prača — ili istražujte planinske staze kad god poželite. | Ograničeni ste na jednu ski stazu blizu hotela ili zavisite od skupih i često nedostupnih planinskih taksija. |
| Pogodno preuzimanje na aerodromu. Preuzmite auto na aerodromu Sarajevo (SJJ) i vozite se direktno na Jahorinu. Možete i svratiti do velikog marketa u Sarajevu kako biste se opskrbili za cijelu sedmicu. | Plaćanje skupog transfera s aerodroma, pa ostajanje na planini sa uskim izborom preskupih trgovina. |
| Istražite i izvan staza. Uzmite dan pauze za izlet do Sarajeva (45 min) i posjetite Baščaršiju ili istražite susjednu planinu Bjelašnicu. | Teškoće i visoki troškovi organizacije izleta van skijališta, osjećaj "zarobljenosti" u resortu. |
| Pravo lokalno znanje. Pitajte nas za informacije o stanju na cestama, najboljim parking mjestima blizu Poljica, ili gdje se jede najbolja jagnjetina. Mi znamo ovu planinu. | Oslanjanje na generičke turističke informacije i propuštanje najboljih lokalnih mjesta. |
| Vozila spremna za zimu. Vozite s punim povjerenjem jer su naši SUV-ovi opremljeni zimskim gumama i 4x4 pogonom za sigurnu vožnju po snijegu i ledu. | Rizik i stres vožnje običnog rentanog automobila koji nije opremljen za nepredvidive planinske uslove. |

Our Jahorina Car Rental Fleet: 4x4s, SUVs & Vans

Insider Tips for Driving on Jahorina
- Winter Driving is a Must: From November 15th to April 15th, winter tires are legally mandatory, and all our vehicles are equipped with them. We also provide snow chains on request. Mountain weather changes rapidly; an SUV with 4x4 is strongly recommended for all winter rentals.
- Parking Strategy: Most hotels offer parking, but it can be limited. During peak ski season (especially weekends), public lots near the main lifts like Poljice and Ogorjelica fill up by 10 AM. A rental car gives you the freedom to use less crowded parking areas and still easily access the slopes.
- Stock Up in the City: While there are small markets on Jahorina, the larger, more affordable supermarkets are in the nearby town of Pale or down in Sarajevo. Use your rental car to stock up on groceries and supplies for your apartment at the beginning of your stay.
- Visit Bjelašnica: Your rental car gives you the unique opportunity to ski two different Olympic mountains in one trip. The drive from Jahorina to Bjelašnica takes around 1.5 hours and offers incredible scenery.

Rent a Car Jahorina: Your Questions Answered (FAQ)
Do I absolutely need a 4x4 vehicle in winter?
While not legally mandatory if you have winter tires, a 4×4 vehicle is highly recommended for your safety and convenience. It provides significantly better traction and control on steep, snowy, or icy mountain roads, ensuring you can access your accommodation and the slopes without issues.
Can I pick up my car at Sarajevo Airport and drive to Jahorina?
Yes, this is the most popular option for our clients. We will have your car ready for you at Sarajevo Airport (SJJ) upon your arrival, allowing you to drive directly to your mountain accommodation.
Are winter tires and snow chains included?
Yes. During the legally mandated winter season (Nov 15 – Apr 15), all our vehicles are equipped with high-quality winter tires at no extra charge. Snow chains are available on request.
Is a car useful if I'm staying right next to a ski lift?
Many guests find it extremely useful. A car gives you the freedom to dine at different restaurants across the mountain, visit the evening entertainment spots, take a day trip to Sarajevo, or access different parts of the ski area that might not be linked to your primary lift.
What People Say About Us
No filters. No fluff. Just real feedback from real drivers across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Petrović Family
Renting the 4x4 SUV from Yes.ba was the best decision for our family ski week on Jahorina. While other cars were struggling on the snowy roads, we had no problems at all. The car had plenty of space for our skis and luggage. The pickup at Sarajevo airport was seamless. Absolute peace of mind.
Marko Horvat
Our group of friends rented a 9-seater van for a long ski weekend. It was perfect! We all traveled together from the airport and used the van to get to the Poljice lifts every morning from our apartment. Much cheaper and easier than coordinating multiple taxis. The van was clean and drove well.
Clara Lindström
We visited Jahorina in August for hiking. Renting a car allowed us to not only explore all the trails on Jahorina, but also to take day trips to Bjelašnica and Trebević. The mountain is beautiful in the summer! The service was excellent and the car was perfect for our needs.
David Chen
I picked up my car at Sarajevo Airport and was at my hotel on Jahorina less than an hour later. The convenience of not having to wait for a bus or haggle with a taxi was worth every penny. The car was a new model and spotless. Professional service.
Sophie Williams
Excellent service. The SUV was ready and warm at the airport. Handled the mountain snow with no issues. Highly recommend.
