Car hire Olbia 10 days: full Costa Smeralda + Gallura holiday

10 days in Olbia is the length that separates "a holiday" from "a journey". They allow you to complete Costa Smeralda calmly, dedicate a full day to La Maddalena (without rushing), add a long excursion to Alghero or Stintino, and include 1-2 days of pure relaxation without travel. It is the duration KS Rent Sardinia recommends for those wanting to know north-eastern Sardinia truly, not just pass through. Here pro-rata prices, vehicle choice for mixed routes, and a 10-day itinerary balancing sea, culture, gastronomy and downtime.

10-day prices with progressive discount

From day 7 onwards KS Rent Sardinia applies progressive discounted rates. For 10 days the calculation equates to about 8.8 × daily (12-13% savings vs 10× daily flat):

Ideal vehicle for 10 days multi-route

• Jeep Avenger: compact automatic SUV, high lights for access dirt, 380 L boot. Our best-seller for 7-14 day durations.
• Mercedes A-Class 180d: premium sedan with very low diesel consumption (5-6 L/100 km), top comfort for long distances. NOT suited to demanding dirt roads.
• Fiat Panda Hybrid: budget choice, minimum consumption (4.5 L/100 km city, 5.5 outside), parks anywhere, but for 10 days for a couple can be tight with 2-week luggage.

Useful add-ons for medium-long durations

• Second driver: free for married couples (with document), €20 total for others. Indispensable for 10 days.
• Kasko excess reduction: €15/day = €150 total. Reduces excess from default to zero. Recommended for 10+ days for peace of mind.
