Customer reviews on car hire in Sardinia

ELENA

Everything was perfect, fast and friendly. Only that they don't explain very well where the car is to pick it up but being a very small airport, asking there was no problem.

RAIMON GABARRO MARIN

11-02-2026

Fast, convenient, easy and good value!

Juan Manuel

It is very easy to choose the car, everything is well explained and very fast and in 2 minutes you have the car already booked.

Mariapaloma

15-02-2026

The car offer is good and so are the prices. What I didn't like is that it seems that the car pick up is inside the station and when you have already hired it they tell you that you have to pick it up outside in a nearby street.
