Rent a car in Cagliari Airport – Elmas

So, you are planning a trip to Sardinia, Italy! How exciting! Now, if you are flying in to Cagliari, rent a car at Cagliari Airport in Elmas couldn’t be easier, as long as you have your paperwork in order, that is. If you booked your rental online you would be given a list of the items you must have before you take possession of your rental, along with your credit card information for billing. If you wait until your arrival it may take a bit of time to finalize the agreement, but you should be on your way in short order.

Most places in foreign countries require you to have an International Drivers Permit along with your normal driver’s license in order to drive in that country (for example, see how to rent a car in Dubai and what to know). Italy is no different in their requirements. No matter what car you drive (a rental, a car belonging to a friend, or anything else) these are two documents you must possess in order to do so legally. You can get your IDP from your local department of motor vehicles in your own state prior to leaving on vacation.

Renting a car at Cagliari Airport in Elmas is as simple as finding the agency you booked online with (best deals on rentalcars.com), speaking with the agent, showing your paperwork, and picking up your rental car after paying the fee.

Many times you do not have a choice of vehicle preference as far as make is concerned, but you can specify what model you want, be it SUV, compact car, or coupe. No, you are not given a color choice but it would be nice, wouldn’t it? Now keep in mind this is if you booked and reserved online. Getting to the airport first and deciding to rent a car when you arrive is another matter.

Before you leave the airport make absolutely sure you understand the rental agreement and have everything you need before hitting the roadways. Insurance is the most important thing of all, and a reputable agency will make sure you have enough coverage should you have an accident. A GPS system is especially useful if you have not visited before and can keep you from getting lost.

• First of all, you may not have a choice of vehicle models if you wait until you arrive simply because most tourists reserve and book online in order to save time and to ensure having a car, with no bad surprises.
• Second, you may not realize what legal documents you need to rent a car at Cagliari Airport in Elmas.
• And third, you might not be familiar or recognize the names of the many rental agencies. Unless you speak and understand the language here (although English is predominant) you may be quite confused and not understand the terms of your car rental agreement.

Better to be safe than sorry and book ahead of time online.

Traffic in any area of Italy can be extremely confusing to someone who has never experienced it before. Above all, you have to stay calm and use your head. Don’t let the drivers zipping to on the highways and city streets make you panic. Focus, and take your time. These drivers are used to flying around at top speeds because they do it every day. Whatever you do don’t try to keep up with them! Plus, look at the gas you are wasting if you zoom around like a race car driver.

If you have planned an itinerary that includes sightseeing outside the city, having a rental car at your disposal is a good thing, but it is not necessary to use it for every small trip you make. Try to walk to places nearby: Sardinia has magnificent hidden places, explore! For example, see the best beaches near Cagliari: Poetto Beach, Sant’Elia, Cala Mosca and Cala Fighera or drive to Capitana, Solanas or Campulongu. In towns, city streets can be clogged with traffic and you would probably get to your destination sooner if you walked or used a bike. Save the vehicle for places you can’t walk to. Your vacation will be a lot more fun if you don’t have to worry about driving through congested, narrow and twisting streets.

Familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations of driving in Italy before you think about hiring a car at Cagliari Airport in Elmas. Don’t make the mistake of thinking all people drive alike!

Drive on the right side of the road, use proper signals, be aware of your surroundings and keep your cool. Better yet, hire a guide to drive that rental car so you can just relax and enjoy the sights. He can take you wherever you want to go and will know the best way to get there. Best of all-he will know how to drive in Italy to avoid accidents.

Just make sure you let him know he doesn’t have to break any speed records to get you there! The whole idea of vacationing in Italy is to have fun, whether or not you are renting a car at Cagliari Airport in Elmas or anywhere else.
