Car Hire in Olbia
Enterprise Car Rental Locations in Olbia
The small city of Olbia, in the northeast of Sardinia, may have a small population of a mere 60,000, but it makes up for that with an authenticity that's worlds away from the dedicated resorts in other parts of the island. Olbia has an attractive central area, known as the centro storico, where you can find everything from the latest boutique fashions to piazza cafés that are perfect for people-watching. Olbia's change of pace makes a very refreshing contrast to many of Italy's larger cities, and if you let Enterprise Rent-A-Car provide you with a comfortable and modern vehicle, you can travel in and around the city at your own pace. Enterprise's branch in Olbia is located at the city's airport, so you won't need to waste any time trekking from a distant location before beginning your stay in the Olbia region.

There are flights from many parts of Europe, with an increase in traffic during the summer when seasonal charter flights predominate. Enterprise's airport car hire branch is situated inside the airport terminal itself, so you'll be able to begin your car rental in Olbia quickly, without having to spend any time on taxis or buses.

Back in the city itself, you can relax with a walk along the shady paths of Fausto Noce Park, where you may see performances in the amphitheatre, or discover the city's archaeological history at a dedicated museum.

Parking and Traffic Information in Olbia
Driving in Olbia is usually more relaxed than it can be in mainland Italy's larger cities. Drivers tend to be courteous and helpful, and you can avoid most traffic jams simply by driving in the early morning or mid-afternoon. Make sure you avoid the central zone (ZTL), as most cars are not permitted there. Keep your car's lights switched on when driving on dual carriageways, even during the day. Parking is fairly inexpensive, around one euro per hour. Don't park in yellow bays, as they're reserved only for pass-holders.
