Sardinian Car Rental Companies

I wanted to create a new thread just on this topic. I want to rent a car in Sardinia. It turns out that there are some major car rental companies, but most of them are located near the airports. They’re also seem to be some local car, rental companies or Italian only car rental companies. And those companies are often in some of the smaller cities.

I was gonna go with the local car companies until I read some reviews on some very popular travel websites and other had some bad experiences with the small companies. It turns out that they were charging extra fees or charging administrative fees, even when people had full insurance coverage for the most minor damage.

so my main question is whether other people have had good or bad experiences with the small companies or the large companies in Sardinia?

As it turns out since I’m going to be arriving in Porto Torres, the only car rental companies are the small ones. I can take a train to sorry and then get one of the bigger car companies although their location is over a mile from the train station.

Through AutoEurope I rented a car from Europcar. I know they have an office in Sassari. My rental was in Cágliari and I got car and returned at the airport. Oddly, if I returned it to the city office, the rental would have been 50€ additional. If you’re not familiar with them, Europcar is a major rental company.

I prefer large companies, if I venture far from the rental location. In case of car malfunction you have a better chance of having it replaced.
