From the car rental at OLB airport it's only a few kilometers to the port city, as a car rental driver you will enjoy the well-developed roads. Olbia itself is a very modern city, offering a typical Italian center with narrow streets. Ideally, you should park your rental car near Corso Umberto and enjoy the culinary delights in the pleasant pedestrian zone. Of course you want to see more of the island of Sardinia and enjoy the beach life on the north coast. In the region of Galura, which is dominated by granite cliffs, you will find the Costa Smeralda, the costly holiday paradise of Sardinia.

Sardinia presents itself very multifaceted and the diversity of nature can be admired particularly well in the Nurra region. All you have to do is rent a car, pick it up at AHO airport and drive to Alghero.
Although the city is located in Sardinia and belongs to Italy, the Catalan roots of its inhabitants cannot be overlooked. If you are a hired car driver with an enthusiasm for historical buildings, you should follow the signs "Centro Storico", but you should park your rental car outside the city walls. The Via Principe Umberto is particularly worth seeing, from where numerous narrow alleys invite you to take a tour. In the old town there are many historical buildings to visit and in the evening the promenade with typical Sardinian restaurants invites you to stroll around.

Of course you can also rent a car, pick it up at an airport, take it on a round trip and return it to another airport. The Sardinia Car Rental Trip around the island can be booked on our portal by choosing the one-way car rental with all the advantages. Please note the offers of large car rental companies, as they often have more collection points and will therefore offer one-way rentals in Sardinia.
Of course, you can choose to rent a car at a reasonable price when you rent a car, but you should always choose the premium version for insurance coverage: Fully comprehensive insurance without excess. Why? Because even in the event of an accident caused by your own fault, you are not liable with your own money and the fully comprehensive insurance policy pays for every damage without any deductible. Therefore, you should always book your rental car with the Premium insurance, so that your stay in Sardinia remains largely untroubled even in the case of undesirable incidents.

Every car rental company in Italy will only give you a rental car on deposit and most car rental companies block it on your credit card. As a car driver you must therefore have a valid card, otherwise the car rental company will refuse to give you the car you want. Some providers also allow the deposit to be deposited with an EC card. If the vehicle is returned without complaint, the deposit will be released immediately.
The picturesque beauty of the Mediterranean island encourages you to spend your holidays as a couple, family or in the circle of good friends. The island's size inspires you to rent a car, because there are 140 kilometers between Olbia and Alghero and 280 kilometers to Cagliari. If you do not want to drive the rental car yourself, you must report one or more additional drivers to the rental company at the airport of arrival. Most offers already include an additional handlebar. If this is not the case with the offer you prefer, you can also book it for a small surcharge.
We recommend the following when renting a car in Sardinia: If you pick up your rental car at the airport, please check it for technical and visual defects. For the former, you are liable for a police check and ignoring existing dents and scratches will take revenge on return. The hired car driver is always responsible for undeclared damage after the takeover. And the resulting costs make the stay in Italy unnecessarily expensive. Any deficiencies should therefore be noted in writing and in case of problems affecting road safety, ask the car rental company for replacement.
