Cagliari is a great destination, but Sardinia has even more to offer, so why not get a longer term car rental?

Please be very careful in the area of Cagliari airport, because many car drivers are very impatient.
It's really not easy to check the car injuries at the car pickup during the night hours, as there is very little light in the top level parking area.

Old fashioned. Like stepping back in time. Busy, beautiful beaches, roads lack markings and are somewhat a free for all so be careful.
