Best Way to Get from Porto Cervo to Olbia Airport

It has become almost tradition around here to start an article with “the best way” only to quickly explain what we consider to be the best way. So, in order to not ruin tradition, let’s do that once more.

The best for you, could be awful for someone else, or even the opposite. Perhaps you are just doing a bit of exploring in Sardinia all by yourself; booking an 8-person van, wouldn’t really be advised (you still could, though). In that instance, taking public transport would be your go-to option, as not only is it inexpensive, it is also a great opportunity to travel with locals and see a different side of life in Sardinia.

On the other hand, you may be travelling with your partner for a much-awaited getaway. The last thing you want in that instance is to take a long, sweaty bus ride. If this sounds like you, we would recommend you book a private transfer with us, and get chauffeur-driven to your destination in one of our many luxury vehicles.

Perhaps you haven’t made your mind up yet. Read the rest of the article and we are quite sure you will have made the best decision for you.

Is there a Porto Cervo to Olbia Train?

Various Transportation Options from Olbia to Porto Cervo

Now that we have explored all of the public possibilities, let’s talk about the private ones. For the purpose of simplicity, we’ll assume there are three primary private possibilities, though you can probably find many more if you look. Taxis, auto rentals, and private transports with AtoB are the three. In a few short paragraphs, we shall go over your options.

Taxis are a typical means of transportation for tourists who want private transportation but haven’t yet learned about AtoB. The problem with taxis in Sardinia, as well as numerous other places, is that drivers often overcharge for a straightforward ride. You can be charged a colossal amount for travel between two cities — that doesn’t sound like fun!

Car rentals next. You may hire a car from any number of businesses, some of which are international ones that you probably already know from your own country. Nonetheless, you could be persuaded to hire a car through one of the many internet services that advertise exceptionally inexpensive daily rates.

The substantial insurance deposit you will need to pay won’t be disclosed to you until you are actually at the booking stage. Car rental may not be the greatest option for you if you’re not in the mood to give the corporation a few hundred euros “just in case”. Not to mention how annoying it can be to drive on unfamiliar roads!
