Olbia Airport is one of the main gateways to the island of Sardinia, which is a very popular location in Italy for many tourists, as the island is filled with many charming towns and has long stretches of sandy beaches on its coastline. The airport is located approximately four kilometres from the town of Olbia, in the north eastern region of Sardinia, and is also well known as Costa Smeralda Airport. Some of the best beaches in the area can only be reached by car; therefore the majority of visitors hire a rented car from the airport. One of the car hire companies available at Olbia Airport is Hertz. Hertz is the largest car rental company in the world, and offers extremely competitive rental prices and a range of unique car hire services.

Many of Hertz Olbia Airport customers hire their vehicle online, from Hertz’s website at www.hertz.com. This website has all the information you need in order to hire the perfect vehicle, and the online booking process is very easy. It is also far more convenient to make travel arrangements from the comfort of home. On Hertz’s website, customers can view all the vehicle categories available, as well as pictures of example vehicles in each category. Once arriving at Olbia Airport, the Hertz rental counters can be found in the arrivals area of the airport. It is easy to find your way around the airport building, as there is just one area dedicated to departures, and another handling all arrival flights, both domestic and international. The terminal was recently renovated, and is a modern and welcoming building with a variety of facilities, all of which are clearly indicated.

Hertz Olbia Airport customers should also reserve additional items of equipment needed for their journey at the point of booking as these may be limited, and at this rental location, Hertz offers child seats and the Hertz NeverLost In-Car Navigation System. Law in Italy requires Child seats, and for those who have never travelled in the Sardinian region before, Hertz’s GPS system is an invaluable piece of equipment to have with you. The system is of the highest quality, having been manufactured by Magellan (a leader in satellite navigation technology), and comes with many features that allow you to easily find any destination. It has a choice of languages, extensive mapping for 27 European countries, clear and accurate visuals on a colour touch screen, an ergonomic design and a huge list of points of interest. Turn-by-turn directions are provided in voice or visual mode. Although the Hertz NeverLost system will cost a few extra Euros, it will greatly contribute to the ease of your journey.

Gold Counter Service is available from Hertz, at Olbia Airport. This special service is reserved for members of the Hertz #1 Club Gold, who are more frequent renters at Hertz. However, any customer can join the Hertz #1 Club, and enjoy more benefits when hiring a vehicle. Hertz #1 Club members enjoy many time and money saving benefits, such as faster and easier online reservations, the Hertz Express and Hertz Instant Return services, membership discounts and a variety of exclusive special offers and promotions. Customers who rent just three times in a twelve-month period will be invited to join the Hertz #1 Club Gold, and receive even greater benefits.

One of the reasons why Hertz is popular with so many people is that they offer a wide range of vehicles that can be reserved by their specific makes and models. These vehicles even include a collection of environmentally friendly cars, which are very fuel-efficient as well. These cars are found in the Hertz Green Collection, and include the Smart Passion 0.7, Fiat 500 1.2 Sport or Lounge, Fiat Grande Punto 1.4, Mercedes A160 and the Lancia Delta 1.6. The Smart Passion is a smaller vehicle, while the Lancia Delta can seat up to four or five people. The other two car groups from where vehicles can be reserved by their specific makes and models are the Prestige Collection and the Fun Collection. The Fun Collection has an interesting range of convertibles and sporty type models, such as the Mazda MX5 Roadster 1.8, while the Prestige Collection is made up of Mercedes vehicles that are ideal for business clients, or for those who enjoy a bit of luxury.

More ordinary cars from Hertz include the Fiat Panda 1.2, Ford Fiesta 1.4, Ford Focus 1.6 and Fiat Grande Punto 1.3. Families often prefer to hire a station wagon with more space for luggage, such as the Ford Focus SW 1.6 or Ford Mondeo Ghia SW. Hertz also offers a range of larger sized vehicles, in the form of a minibus or SUV, for example the Ford Transit Combi 300S 2.2 and the Ford Galaxy 1.8. These vehicles seat between seven and nine passengers, and are ideal for groups of travellers, or families who need more interior space within their vehicles.
