Tips for renting a car in Sardinia

- Anyone visiting the area with a small child will need to be aware of what Italy’s car seat laws are. Rather than having an age requirement, Italy has requirements based on height and weight. Any child that is less than 150 cm tall and weighing less than 36 kg must always be in an appropriate car or booster seat that is designed for their size. If you are unable to travel with your own car seat, you can usually rent one directly from a car rental company in the area.
- Many of the cars that are driven in Italy, specifically the island of Sardinia, are manual vehicles. If you are unable to drive a manual, or you would just be more comfortable driving with an automatic car, you will want to make sure that you request this through your selected rental agency when you are making your reservation. If you do not specifically ask for an automatic car, you can assume that the car will be manual.
- Sardinia is known for being quite warm during the summer months, so you will want to make sure that you rent a vehicle that has air conditioning. When you pick up your rental car, make sure that you test the air conditioning before you leave the parking lot, just to be on the safe side. Having this feature will be a lifesaver and will allow you to stay comfortable while embarking on your road trip.

Car rental FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Sardinia, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on July 29, 2025.
Should I rent a car in Sardinia?
Sardinia has very limited and poor public transport, so you will definitely need to rent a car during your stay on the island. Many parts of the island are not reachable by public transport at all, so if you want to visit them, you will need to have access to a car. Having your own vehicle will also give you the freedom to go on day trips and visit a larger part of the region. Plus, it will make it easier to haul recreational equipment to and from the beach, as well as transport your luggage.
What is driving like in Sardinia?
There are a few tips and tricks that you will want to keep in mind when driving in Sardinia. For example, it is quite common for drivers in the area to not signal when they are turning or changing lanes, so always be on the lookout for this. In certain areas, it is possible that wild animals may run across the road, so you will want to be cautious in more rural parts of the island. A majority of the roads are well paved and you will not frequently come across potholes.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sardinia?
To rent a car in Sardinia, all drivers must be a minimum of 21 years old. Anyone that is under the age of 25 will also need to pay a supplemental daily fee, as they are considered to be a ‘young driver’. The amount that this fee will cost will typically vary depending on the specific company that you end up choosing to rent with. You will also need to have a driver's license that is valid and has been in your possession for at least 12 months. In addition to having a valid driver’s license from your home country, as well as a passport, United States and Canadian citizens must also possess an International Driving Permit, otherwise known as an IDP. You will need to acquire this in your home country before going to Italy and it can usually be done at a local AAA office.
