Budget Car Rental Olbia Airport

Olbia Airport is located in the northeastern side of Sardinia, a beautiful island in Italy with long stretches of sandy beaches. Its official airport code is OLB, and is also commonly referred to as Costa Smeralda Airport, due to its location. The charming town of Olbia is found only four kilometres from the airport, as well as nearby many spectacular beaches and holiday resorts. Olbia’s modern terminal building is the ideal arrival point for the start of a good vacation. At the airport, passengers will find a variety of car hire companies, which include Sixt, Avis, Hertz, National, Europcar and Budget. Budget Car Hire is a company well respected for their low rental prices, and wide range of interesting vehicles for hire.

Budget Car Hire, as their name suggests, is synonymous with great value for money, and offer their customers a range of fully inclusive rates, pre-payment options and charge facilities to help them save money on their car rental choices. Budget has over fifty years of experience in the car hire industry, and today is proud of over 3,400 rental locations in over 128 countries around the world. These locations include many major airports, as well as downtown areas. Vehicles from Budget are all checked for safety and cleaned before every rental; therefore customers will always receive a well-maintained vehicle, which is reliable, and a pleasure to drive. Budget’s fleet of vehicles are also continuously renewed, ensuring customers receive only latest model cars, trucks and vans, with low mileage.

Budget Olbia Airport vehicles are available for hire directly from the rental counters at Olbia Airport, but many customers prefer to hire their vehicle online, from Budget’s website at www.budget.com. Most people nowadays have access to the Internet including smart phones, and find it convenient to organize their travel arrangements from the comfort of their own homes. An advanced booking also ensures that your ideal vehicle is available for your date of holiday or business travel. Budget, at Olbia Airport, is open from 08:00 to 23:00, every day of the week. However, their hours of operation do vary on bank holidays. Days with exception hours are available on Budget’s website. Online, customers can also view all the car categories available from Budget, along with details of their rental terms and conditions.

Budget is extremely popular for their large range of environmentally friendly vehicles. These vehicles are also very light on fuel, and come in a range of different sizes, makes and models. Examples of Budget’s ‘green’ machines include the Hyundai Accent, Pontiac G6, Nissan Altima, Ford Focus, Toyota Prius, Ford Taurus, Ford Fusion and Smart For Two. The smallest of these vehicles is the Smart For Two, seating just two, and with barely any space for luggage, however, it is a great little car for getting around busy Italian towns and cities. Medium sized cars in the environmentally friendly range include the Pontiac G6 and Ford Taurus, and these cars may come with the extra features of air conditioning, dual airbag protection, cruise control, power steering, power windows, anti-lock brakes and remote keyless entry.

Customers can hire environmentally friendly vehicles from Budget’s website, in step 2 of the car rental reservation process. They are easy to find, as they are all indicated by a SmartWay leaf icon, and all vehicles in Budget’s Economy, Compact and Intermediate categories are 100% SmartWay certified. Sometimes it is nice to know exactly which car you will be driving, therefore, for this purpose, Budget offers ‘My Choice’. ‘My Choice’ indicates Budget’s range of Street Fleet rental vehicles that can be reserved by their specific makes and models. Hybrid cars can also be reserved in this way at certain Budget rental locations.

Budget Olbia Airport offers a good selection of larger sized vehicles as well. The Ford E350 is one of the largest vehicles from Budget, seating up to twelve people, while the Ford Expedition EL can accommodate up to eight passengers. Around seven people are ideal for the Ford Expedition, Ford Explorer and Ford Freestar. Some additional features, which may be included in these vehicles, are remote keyless entry, powerful V6 or V8 engines, anti-theft systems, Bluetooth SYNC and satellite radio. Any of these vehicles make excellent cars for larger families, or for groups of travellers who would like to travel in one vehicle.

All primary renters at Budget Olbia Airport, are required to meet the minimum age restriction of 21, and to have a valid drivers license. All customers at Budget who do not reside in the European Union will need to have an International Driving Permit as well.
