Car hire Sardinia

Sardinia offers visitors a sophisticated mix of natural beauty, rich culture and a place to relax. It is undoubtedly one of the most attractive beach resorts of the Mediterranean, yet unraveling Sardinia's cultural heritage is equally as appealing as beach lounging. The best way to experience Sardinia is by rental car.

The capital city of Cagliari is an interesting place to start. The walled old city overlooks the Gulf of Cagliari. The city's cobbled streets and colourful medieval architecture make it a delightful place to visit. The Archaeological Museum contains relics from the prehistoric Nuragic civilisation of Sardinia. There is also a Roman amphitheatre, which is carved into stone, making it unique. Concerts and events are still held in the amphitheatre.
