Struga TIDZ is part of North Macedonia's network of technological industrial development zones, near the town of Struga and Lake Ohrid. A private transfer from Skopje takes you straight to the zone entrance or a specific factory, with the same car bringing you back to Skopje or on to a hotel in Struga or Ohrid.
The drive from Skopje
The car follows the A2 motorway through Tetovo, Gostivar and Kičevo, then continues toward Struga via Trebeništa. Part of the Corridor 8 route is still under construction, so some stretches move slower than the map suggests — for a meeting with a fixed start time, build in a margin.
The car goes straight to the zone entrance, no extra transfer needed from town or a bus station — useful for early arrivals before a shift start or a scheduled meeting.
The zone
Struga TIDZ is part of the national network of technological industrial development zones, set up for export-oriented manufacturers with tax incentives attached. Foreign investors in the automotive and electronics sectors operate here, with production capacity expanding in recent years.
The zone sits close to both Struga and Ohrid, with a lakeside town and an international airport nearby — useful for visiting teams who combine a zone visit with a stay in the region.
Who travels here
Passengers typically include engineers and technicians visiting production lines, auditors and consultants on routine checks, investors and company representatives scouting the site, and job candidates arriving for interviews. Some travel once, others make the trip regularly with the same driver each time.
For teams travelling together, a fixed price per vehicle works out cheaper than individual fares, and colleagues ride together with all their luggage in one car. The same logic holds when a delegation is travelling with equipment or samples that need to stay with the group.
Booking the trip
Book ahead with an exact pickup time, useful for meetings that start early in the morning. You can also book a car for a colleague or guest travelling separately — just enter their contact details at booking, and they'll receive the driver's name and phone number once one is assigned.
Pay the driver in cash or online via PayPal, with no need to arrange invoicing with the company in advance.
Taxi vs the bus
Buses from Skopje reach the bus station in Struga, from where you'd still need a further transfer to the zone — impractical for a business visit on a tight schedule. A private car goes straight to the zone entrance, no changeovers and no waiting on a timetable.
The return trip and staying nearby
Heading back the same day? The driver can wait up to 6 hours — the return leg is discounted, with the first hour of waiting free and each extra started hour charged after that; the booking form shows the exact total. If the trip runs over several days and the team overnights in Struga or Ohrid, the return is booked as a separate transfer at the normal price. The driver can pick you up from the hotel instead of the zone.
