Car Hire in Cagliari - Getting to Cagliari

Cagliari’s airport at Elmas is just five kilometres or a 10-minute drive away. It is served by several airlines offering daily flights to the mainland and across Europe, and has been recently renovated to make arrival and departure procedures more efficient. There are two other airports on Sardinia, both located in the north, at Olbia and Fertilia.

Regular bus services operate to all major towns on the island, and a good network of roads gives visitors the opportunity to explore remote areas. The island's principal motorway is the SS131, which connects Cagliari with Oristano and Sassari.

As the second-biggest island in the Mediterranean, Cagliari is also well served by ferries. There are frequent boats to Civitavecchia, and less frequent services to Naples, Palermo and Trapani. It is also possible to take a ferry southwards to Tunis on the northern coast of Africa.
