SIXT Car Rental at Olbia Airport

Car rental is very popular on Sardinia, although there is public transport in the form of buses, coaches and trains. Services of these typically finish during early evening hours and can also be rather patchy in the rural interior of the island. Many mountain villages can only be reached by public transport, if a visitor uses two or more bus operators on a rather complex journey.

The beautiful island of Sardinia seems a world apart from mainland Italy. The Gallura region surrounding Olbia is famous for its many colourful religious festivals, but also offers tourists the chance to enjoy many festivities linked to the agriculture of the region. Harvest festivals celebrating the grape harvest in early autumn are a great reason to visit Sardinia during a time, when school holidays are over and grown-ups rule the beaches once more.

The climate of Sardinia is mild all year round, with the hottest months occurring in July and August. During the peak holiday season of those months it is essential to reserve car hire well in advance, despite the many car hire operators offering their fleets on the island.
