Choose transport from Olbia airport around the arrival time, destination and luggage. Cars and transfers provide more continuity along the coast; public transport can be good value when the timetable and stop match the accommodation.

## Before choosing

Write down the flight number, scheduled arrival, party size and full accommodation address. Include the latest check-in time. A low fare loses its advantage if it requires two changes, a long wait or a final taxi that is difficult to secure.

## Hiring a car

A car simplifies San Teodoro, Budoni, Golfo Aranci and much of Gallura. Compare deposit, excess, fuel, additional drivers and desk hours. For a late flight, ask in writing how a delay is handled and where collection takes place.

## Buses and connections

Consult the airport, ARST and the operator shown for the route. Confirm the exact stop name and the walk to the accommodation. Seasonal schedules may change, so avoid relying on a timetable saved several months before the trip.

## Transfers and taxis

A pre-booked transfer helps groups, families, late arrivals and bases without a direct service. Share the flight and a phone number, ask for the meeting point and agree the total price. Child seats, large luggage and bicycles require specific confirmation.

## Late arrivals

If landing time is close to the car desk closing or after the final service, compare a transfer with a first night in Olbia. Leaving in the morning can feel much easier after a long journey. Always notify the accommodation about delays.

## Returning to the airport

Allow for refuelling, vehicle return, inspection and the walk to the terminal. Add margin during busy periods. Confirm buses or transfers the day before and keep a second option, especially for an early morning flight.

## Current checks

Use the official airport site and the selected operator’s website. Recheck works, stops, rental terms and contact details during the previous 48 hours. Download confirmations and maps so they remain available without a connection.

If the group splits between a rental car and a transfer, agree on the same arrival point and share the address, contacts and times. This avoids waiting at similarly named places or at different entrances to the same property.
