Cheap Car Hire in Sardinia

Driving your own car will provide a more relaxing trip as you won’t have to worry about paying for overpriced taxi fares for example or missing buses, which is even more difficult if you are travelling with small children or are not familiar with the language. Not only that but you will have the freedom to explore where you want whenever you want without having to plan your schedule around bus timetables for example so you can really make the most out of your stay! Finally car hire provides flexibility, plans can change but with a car you can adapt to these changes and easily alter your schedule.
 

Car Hire Places of Interest in Sardinia

Sardinia offers a good selection of beaches to visit, Spiaggia Rena Bianca is popular due to its soft sand and clear waters. There is the opportunity to hire chairs and umbrellas here and there is also a bar where you can grab a drink and bite to eat ensuring you can really make the most out of your visit. Another popular beach is Porto Istana, again it features soft white sand and crystal clear waters, the waves are tame and so it is a great location for families with small kids. However, it is good to be aware that during peak season (July/August) it can get very busy. As well as that both tourists and locals love visiting San Benedetto market, this is a beautiful covered market not far from the city centre selling fruit, vegetables, cheese, fish and plenty more making this a great place to shop for local produce. Not only that but there are a selection of tours for you to get involved with such as a wine and food tour, a sightseeing tour and a cultural walking tour so there is sure to be something here for everyone! Finally, boat tours and daily cruises tend to be popular amongst tourists wanting to venture further out into the sea and swim in the gorgeous crystal clear waters. From here you can also go snorkelling and dolphin spotting which is a great way to add some fun activities into your holiday.
