Sardinia is actually closer to Africa than it is to Italy and has the benefit of a multitude of different European influences. You will find elements of Rome, Genoa, Catalonia and many other cultures in among the unspoilt landscapes and remote villages that are dotted throughout the island.

In Sardinia car hire is one of the best ways to explore and is well worth the extra cost. There are many secluded spots which are otherwise inaccessible so hiring a car is the perfect way to make the most of everything the island has to offer.

Car hire in Sardinia is easy to arrange as there are pick-up points from several airports, including Alghero (AHO), Cagliari (CAG) and Olbia (OLB). Once your car hire is arranged you can explore all of the island's beauty spots at your own pace and really get the opportunity to soak up the atmosphere.

A holiday in Sardinia really is an experience that shouldn't be missed. There is some fantastic food and drink, breath-taking pastoral landscapes and a wealth of folklore and traditions for you to explore and hiring a car is one of the best ways to get the full Sardinian experience.
