Car Rental in Olbia

The saying that “he who hesitates is lost” is especially true when it comes to traveling in Sardinia, a region that has so much to offer in terms of history, culture, cuisine, and art that it’s unthinkable to limit yourself to just one place. Once you’ve disembarked from the ship, why not rent a car from Locauto in Olbia? It’s an excellent option for those who want to travel with all the comforts of a private vehicle without having to load their own car onto the ferry—which involves long boarding times and significantly higher costs—and without subjecting it to the wear and tear of a long trip. Renting a car also gives you the chance to try vehicles different from the ones you use in everyday life: more spacious, more modern, or simply newer. The versatility of our service will allow you to choose the vehicle best suited to the needs of the group you’re traveling with, while relying on the attentive assistance of a specialized company like Locauto. Among the places easily accessible from Olbia are archaeological sites of great importance, such as the nuraghi, the sacred well of Sa Testa, and the famous Tomb of the Giants—a Nuragic-era funerary monument surrounded by greenery—as well as charming villages like Palau and all the extraordinary beaches of the Costa Smeralda, one of the most envied coastlines in the world!

During your vacation in Sardinia, are you planning to stop in Olbia or use this city as a base for your road trip through the region? Then don’t miss out on everything this magical city—overlooking the northeastern gulf of the Mediterranean’s most beloved island—has to offer: starting with the historic center, brimming with shops and events year-round, you can visit the medieval Basilica of San Simplicio, the Art Nouveau buildings on Corso Umberto, and the Church of San Paolo with its dome covered in colorful majolica tiles similar to those adorning the dome of San Michele in Alghero. Olbia is also home to interesting archaeological sites such as the San Simplicio necropolis, located beneath the basilica of the same name and containing hundreds of Roman-era tombs, the Nuragic-era sacred well of Sa Testa, several nuraghi dating back to the second millennium B.C., and a 12th-century castle from which you can enjoy an unparalleled view of the Olbia plain. For those interested in diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Sardinian sea, Olbia and its immediate surroundings offer beaches to suit every taste: from the red sand of Le Saline to the lush green setting of Spiaggia del Dottore, all the way to the shallow, crystal-clear waters of Cala Brandinchi, near San Teodoro.

With its location on the northeastern coast of Sardinia, Olbia has always been the preferred destination for travelers arriving by ferry from the Tyrrhenian regions and interested in spending their vacations on the Costa Smeralda, traditionally considered the island’s most prestigious area. Thanks to its airport, Olbia is also one of the main hubs for all tourists—both Italian and international—who arrive in Sardinia by air. In both cases, many decide to continue their journey through Sardinia by car and therefore use a car rental service at Olbia Airport or at another car rental agency in Sardinia: this is because the lack of public transportation makes it practically impossible to travel across the region by bus or train, even if you were to limit yourself solely to the beaches. In fact, the most beautiful beaches are often inaccessible by public transportation, unless you’re willing to wake up at dawn and walk for several kilometers before reaching the coveted cove, under a scorching sun that spares no one. The Gallura region is home to numerous attractions—from the thousand-year-old olive trees of Luras to the artificial lake of Liscia, from the nuraghi of Tempio Pausania to the small villages dotted throughout the area, such as the splendid Arzachena —which you can only fully enjoy by relying on a safe, reliable, and 100% customizable car rental service. Whatever car you choose to rent with Locauto, you can count on a state-of-the-art vehicle, offering exceptional fuel efficiency and power, tailored to your travel needs; a van rental service is also available at the airports in Olbia, Cagliari, and Alghero, ideal if you need to transport sports equipment or other bulky items, such as strollers for your children. Be sure to check out the section dedicated to Locauto’s special offers to find the best rate for you!

Olbia Airport, also known as the Costa Smeralda Airport, is easily accessible both from the city of Olbia and from the main roads leading to the coast: in fact, it is only 4 kilometers from the city center via State Road 127, while some of the most beautiful beaches on Sardinia’s eastern coast can be reached in no time by taking the road that runs along the coast. From the airport, you can also quickly reach the major tourist destinations along the northeastern coast, such as Golfo Aranci, Porto Cervo, and Santa Teresa di Gallura.
