KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cagliari
- Cagliari is a wondrous city that still today displays an authentic depiction of the blended beauty of ancient Roman life and the Mediterranean Sea. Renting a car is the best way to access the expanse of beaches that surrounds Cagliari and the island of Sardinia, including the world-renowned Poetto strip and the stunning coastline of Quartu Sant’Elena and Villasimius. Whether you are interested in escaping to the clear blue waters or seeing the town’s ruins and museums, Cagliari is the ultimate travel destination for a hire car.
- Cagliari Airport (CAG) is located just over 10 km (6 miles) from the city center and has a host of major hire companies to choose from. Once you have assessed the best deals on the market using KAYAK, picking up the keys for your hire car upon arrival couldn’t be easier. Major global hire companies such as Thrifty, Hertz, and Avis have counters conveniently located within the arrivals section of the airport. Olbia Airport is the only other flight route possible to Sardinia; however, it is a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Cagliari.
- An International Driver's Permit is a requirement if you wish to drive on Italian roads. If you plan on exploring the island of Sardinia, be mindful that, despite being a popular holiday destination, it remains a strong agricultural area and you may come across flocks of sheep or other animals on the roads. Be careful to avoid driving on any dirt roads in rural areas, as this will almost certainly void your hire insurance conditions.
- Renting a car in Cagliari an especially enjoyable experience, thanks to the reasonably quiet and stress-free roads. Expect an increase of drivers on the road during the peak summer holiday period, especially surrounding the Poetto beach district. This can, however, be easily managed by providing a little extra time to reach your destination.
- Book your rental car in Cagliari at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Cagliari are around 15% cheaper than other car types, on average

Sasha, Sep 2020
Pros:
Anna-Cristina was very helpful and patient even though the line was long and she was the only attendant due to COVID regulations.Cons:
I wasn't aware that I needed to retrieve the car at Hertz at the Cagliari Airport even though I rented from Dollar (unless I missed it in the fine print somewhere, but it wasn't obvious). Another attendant would have been helpful as it was quite a long line and I waited over 30 minutes, but I understand this may have been due to COVID regulations for staffing. The check engine "(!)" yellow light came on a few days before my return, and the roadside assistance employee told me over the phone that I should explain this to an attendant upon return. I ended up returning the car 1 day early before the scheduled time, and wanted to confirm the early return/ensure that I would be charged accordingly, as well as explain the check engine light situation, but no one was there when I returned the car and I wasn't sure which number to call since I made the reservation through Dollar but it was actually via Hertz.10.0 Wonderful
