Frequently Asked Questions
At Rentalcars.com, we deal with both national and international car hire companies who supply cars in Cagliari, Sardinia — so we can secure exclusive deals and cheap rental prices all year round. Some of the companies we deal with include Budget, Hertz and Maggiore. We are more than just a comparison site; we are an end-to-end service, here to make hiring a car in Cagliari city centre simple and stress-free. In one simple search, you can quickly compare prices on a wide range of cars, including sporty convertibles and luxury cars. The handy filters also let you narrow down the results based on your needs and preferences.
Cars supplied by many of the national firms (like Locauto, Maggiore and Sicily by Car) often come with a special offer, so you get something ‘extra’ included in the price — like a GPS or a free additional driver. Of course, freebies aren’t everything; you need to be sure you can trust the company you’re renting with. To assist your decision, we ask each customer to review the company who supplied their car, and rate them in seven key areas (such as the condition of the car and the overall value for money they received). You can see their feedback on the search results page.
Sand Dunes of Chia: Escape the city and soak up the sun on the stunning sand dunes in Chia. Around an hour’s drive from Cagliari, Chia is a tranquil haven that’s a great place if you want to relax and unwind. The dunes are made of peach-coloured sand, and are surrounded by lush greenery. When you want to cool off, take a dip in the crystal-clear waters. Just slightly inland from Chia, you will find lagoons that are important breeding grounds for flamingos.
Pula: The charming town of Pula is around 25km south-west of Cagliari. Boasting narrow, winding streets, the town has a number of historic relics and monuments for you to explore.
