Alamo Car Rental at Olbia Airport

The best way to reach the beaches in Sardinia is by rented car, and there are a number of car hire companies at Olbia Airport. Alamo is one of these car rental companies, and they offer their customers vehicles that are great value for money. Alamo is also a global car rental company.

Alamo Olbia Airport is part of a larger Rent a Car Company that began in 1974, and today has more than thirty years of experience in the car hire industry. Over the years after they opened Alamo quickly became a favourite vacation rental provider. Alamo has ensured that they continue to provide a fun, low-cost, high-value rental experience to families and leisure travellers around the world. Alamo is also well known as the first car hire company to have introduced real-time booking capabilities on the Internet. This major breakthrough was in 1995, and allowed customers to find Alamo rental locations, view car hire rates and select their ideal vehicles, all from Alamo’s website. Alamo Rent a Car was also the first company to launch an Online Check-in system in 2005. Alamo forms part of a global strategic alliance with Europcar, and together they create the world’s largest car rental network.

Today, Alamo still provides their customers with a very comprehensive website, at www.alamo.com, from where advanced vehicle bookings can be made. Most customers with Internet access prefer to book online, as it is extremely quick and easy, and very convenient from the comfort of home. An advanced reservation also ensures the availability of your ideal rented car when you arrive at the airport, and it will be ready and waiting for you. Alamo, at Olbia Airport, is open every day of the week, from 08:00 to 14:00, and again in the later afternoons from 15:30 to 23:00.

When collecting your vehicle from the Alamo Olbia Airport rental location, ensure that you have all the correct documents available. You will need your driver’s license, and the license should not expire during the car hire period. You should also have held the license in your country of residence for at least a year prior to the rental date. Keep in mind that only individuals 21 years of age or older are permitted to hire a vehicle in Italy, and from Alamo. In some cases an International Driving Permit is required, in particular by foreign renters, or from renters whose licenses are printed in a non-Roman alphabet. Some sort of identification will be needed, such as a photograph ID, or passport, and a major credit card is required for payment of the rental. Major credit cards accepted by Alamo include American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard / MasterCard and Visa.

Alamo has a wide range of quality vehicles for hire, which are all divided into various car categories. All vehicles are booked, controlled and priced by car category, rather than by their specific makes and models. Economy class vehicles are very popular amongst many renters, as they are fuel-efficient and come with excellent rental prices. Examples of these vehicles are the Fiat Panda Dynamic 1.2 and Ford Fiesta Titanium 1.2. These cars are smaller vehicles, but are a great option for city driving. Single drivers and couples often choose them, but families mostly find them to be a bit cramped, especially if they have a couple of luggage items.  The Economy vehicles are manually driven, and some have air conditioning and ABS brakes. Compact is another category with smaller sized vehicles, such as the Alfa 147 JTD M-Jet Progression 1.6. Customers can also hire Compact Wagons, such as the Fiat Stilo SW Active 1.9 JTD.

Slightly larger vehicles are available in the categories of Midsize, Midsize Specialty and Fullsize. All Fullsize vehicles come with an automatic transmission, which is preferred by many customers. These vehicles have more space for luggage, storing two to four items. Wagon vehicles are popular amongst families, as they have an even greater luggage capacity, for example, the Mercedes C220 CDI Elegance SW 2.2, with room for up to six pieces of luggage. Families and groups of travelers also find the Minivan and Van categories to be ideal, as they contain larger sized vehicles, such as the Fiat Ulyesses Dynamic 2.0 and Fiat Ducato Panorama 2.8, which is a vehicle seating up to nine people.

Customers fond of renting from Alamo can become Quicksilver members, and enjoy even greater benefits and discounts when hiring a vehicle. Alamo offers Quicksilver members a simplified reservation and rental process, counter bypass options and special members-only deals. Further information and enrolment forms are available on Alamo’s website.
