Cheapest Car Hire at Alghero Airport
With all the extra flights into Alghero this summer - tourists are being advised to make sure they have their car hire booked in advance. One website was talking about a shortage of cars for hire in summer 2009 because of all the new routes opened up by Ryanair.
We did a quick check of Alghero car hire prices booked online for a week in August 2009. The comparisons were done on May 23rd 2009 for 7 days car rental from August 8th to August 15th 2009
Auto Europe were offering a 2 door Fiat Panda with Air con for £180.12 for 7 days.
Holiday Autos quoted me £193 Pounds for an Opel Corsa for the same 7 days.
£205.01 Pounds at Hertz Car Hire would get me a Fiat Panda 2 door for the week. (Paid in Full in advance)
Easycar prices for Alghero were in Euros and I was quoted 207.34 Euros for a 4 door Vauxhall/Opel Corsa (This is about £236 Pounds)
The cheapest price available from Avis was £250.57 for an Opel Corsa
Europcar had a Fiat Panda 4 door for the price of €245.30 Euro (about £279 GBP) almost 100 pounds more than the cheapest quote I obtained.
The prices above were the lowest priced cars on offer from each company at Alghero Airport on the day I was quoted. Prices will change by the day and availability too. Book early to avoid getting a car you don’t want or a more expensive price.
For people who want to spend a bit more or need a bigger car for the family - the following cars were also available.
Holiday Autos had a VW Caravelle 9 seater minibus for £567 Pounds
£411 pounds would get you a mini cooper convertible from Auto Europe
Easter Tourist Figures good for Alghero
All the signs are good for the tourism business - with this first taste of summer. Restaurants, hotels, car rentals, shopping, all starting to smile again at least for a few days - while awaiting the warmer months. The only negative note was the protracted closure of the Caves of Neptune, because of restoration work not completed despite ads reopening for Easter.
Ancona Flights to Alghero
Ryanair are introducing a twice weekly flight (Fri & Mon) flight from Ancona to Alghero from early June and there are the usual reasonably priced introductory fares. Great idea for a short break in the sun.
