Alghero is the Catalan-flavoured town on Sardinia's north-west coast, with its own airport just inland and a walled old town on the sea. The coast road north to Capo Caccia and the Neptune's Grotto cliffs is one of the best drives on the island, and the beaches of Stintino and the interior around Bosa are only reachable with your own wheels. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices.

Renting a car in Alghero: common questions
Do I need a car if I am staying in Alghero town?
For the town itself, no. The old town is pedestrian and the beaches at Lido and Maria Pia are within walking or cycling distance. You need a car for Capo Caccia, the Stintino beaches, the coast road south to Bosa and the Nuragic sites inland. Many visitors rent for part of the stay rather than all of it.
What are the roads like on the west coast of Sardinia?
Good surfaces but narrow and winding, especially the cliff road from Alghero to Bosa, which is slow and has few passing places. Inland roads are quiet and quicker. A small car is the sensible choice, and plan on driving times being longer than the map suggests.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Alghero, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search from this page and see live cars and prices on our partner’s site. When you choose one, the booking completes on their secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
