Southern Sardinia’s beaches by car
Villasimius, about 45 minutes east, has some of the island’s clearest water, while the Chia coast and Costa del Sud stretch west past dunes and lagoons. Many of the best beaches require a short drive and a small car park - a car is the only practical way to reach them.
Some beach access tracks are unpaved; zero-excess cover removes the worry of gravel and dust damage.
Practical tips
Cagliari’s old town (Castello) is steep and partly restricted - park below and walk up. Fuel up before long coastal drives, and carry water in summer.
The all-inclusive price already includes full insurance, unlimited mileage and airport fees.
