Top tips for renting a car in Sardinia

  • One thing that drivers should remember when renting a car in Sardinia is that this island is home to a number of very narrow roadways. Because of that, renting a smaller and more nimble car is going to be a good option, especially when you get off some of the more major roads that travel between cities. While there is a good amount of public transportation options in Sardinia, there are quite a few spots visitors love to travel to hear that public transportation does not offer access.
  • Since Sardinia is a part of Italy, parents need to know about Italian car seat laws when driving a rental car here. Children that are up to 15 months old need to travel in a rear-facing car seat, and then between 15 months old and four years old, they need to travel in a forward-facing car seat. After that, any child up to the age of 12 needs to travel in either a booster seat or on a booster cushion.
  • If you are wondering if you can take your rental car to another country, the first thing you need to consider is how you will get your rental car off the island of Sardinia. While there is a ferry service available, check with your rental car company to make sure that you're allowed to take a rental car on a ferry. If that is the case, most of the major rental companies will allow you to take your rental throughout a number of countries in Europe without any restriction.
  • Driving on great road trips in Sardinia is going to be a whole bunch of fun, especially because you will find gas stations all throughout the island, meaning you don't have to worry about filling up before you head out on your adventure. Even though there are no highways in Sardinia, there are still some major streets that connect the larger cities, and there's generally very little traffic, so you are certainly going to enjoy your time driving around this beautiful and scenic island.

  • Should I rent a car in Sardinia?

    Travelers who plan on staying in one location when they arrive in Sardinia generally don't need a rental car but if you plan on exploring, having a rental car is a perfect solution. Public transportation and taxis are an option, but public transportation can mean you are waiting for rides quite a bit, and taxis can get expensive in a hurry. The added bonus of having a rental car is that you can make stops at any point during your trip to see beautiful and out-of-the-way locations you find during your trip.

  • What is it like driving in Sardinia?

    Driving in Sardinia is a lot like driving in any other European country. In Sardinia, you will drive on the right side of the road, and when you approach a crossing, vehicles approaching from the right always have the right of way. All speed limits are clearly posted on abundant traffic signs, and it is always a good idea to drive with headlights on day or night in this country. Every passenger in a vehicle in Sardinia needs to be wearing a seatbelt during travel.

  • How old do I need to be to rent a car in Sardinia?

    For the most part, major rental car companies in Sardinia will expect you to be at least 21 years old, and they will also expect that you will have held your license for at least two years before the beginning of your rental. There may be some classes of cars, such as premium and luxury models, that are only available to those over 25 years old. Drivers under the age of 25 also may pay a young driver's surcharge for the rental depending on the type of car they rent.
