Car hire FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Sardinia, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 27 April 2024.

    Avis/Budget, Hertz and Enterprise are among the highly rated companies with multiple car hire locations in Sardinia. You must be at least age 21 to get a cheap car hire in Sardinia from the airport or elsewhere around the city. Be advised, however, that some companies may add surcharges or restrict vehicles to drivers under age 25. A national identity card and domestic licence will suffice for EU nationals, whilst UK citizens must also have a valid passport. US and other international visitors must produce an International Driving Permit for hire cars in Sardinia, but regardless of your origin, you can use a credit or debit card for payment at most centres.

  • What are the rules for driving in Sardinia?

    All occupants, including those using car hire in Sardinia, must wear seatbelts and drive on the right-hand side of the road. If you don’t have a hands-free device, you should not use your mobile when driving. Speed and traffic cameras are widely used, so observe the speed limits of 50 km/h (31 mph) on urban roads, 90 km/h (55 mph) in rural districts and 130 km/h (80 mph) on highways, unless otherwise indicated.
