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)
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
