Avis Car Rental at Alghero Airport

Alghero Airport is located approximately 8 km from the city of Alghero, on the island of Sardinia, and is considered to be one of the three main airports of this area in Italy. The other two airports on the island are Cagliari Airport and Olbia Airport. Alghero Airport is also commonly referred to as Fertilia Airport, or Alghero Riviera del Corallo Airport, due to its location. It is a relatively small airport when compared to others in Italy, handling just over a million and a half passengers per year. Avis Rent a Car offers quality vehicles from within Alghero Airport, and is well known for their reasonable rental prices. Avis can be found in the arrivals area of the airport.

Avis Alghero Airport offers a wide range of services and rental vehicles, as well as a comprehensive website from where customers can make advanced vehicle bookings, at www.avis.com.

Similar to all car hire companies, Avis has certain terms and conditions which need to be followed and understood. At this rental location, the minimum age requirement for hiring a vehicle is 21. A young driver fee will apply to customers between the ages of 21 and 25.

Younger drivers may also not hire from the categories of H (Full Size), I (Intermediate), J (Economy), L (Premium) and N (Convertible). There are also extra charges for additional drivers on the rental contract.

All drivers must be present when collecting their vehicle, and should have a valid drivers license issued in their country of residence for at least a year prior to the rental date. In some cases, an International Driving Permit may also be required. At Avis’ Alghero Airport rental location, the insurance of Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is optional, but Theft Protection (TP) is mandatory. Customers can find out if their credit card offers sufficient insurance for their rented car.

Avis accepts the major credit cards of American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard / Eurocard, Visa and Avis Charge Cards. Debit cards are not accepted as a payment method.
