Golfo Aranci

Car Rental in
Golfo Aranci

The only Italian port of Sardinia/Corsica Ferries that lets you disembark 5 minutes from Cala Moresca. Hop in the Panda and in a quarter of an hour your feet are already in the clear water of Capo Figari.

Total Flexibility

The Panda Awaits You at the Ferry Disembarkation

Golfo Aranci has a precise identity: it's the Sardinian port of Sardinia/Corsica Ferries — high-frequency Livorno and Civitavecchia connections, punctual disembarkations, compact and well-organised terminal. For those arriving by sea, it's the most rational choice: less chaotic than Olbia Isola Bianca, closer to the north-eastern beaches, with Costa Smeralda reachable in 25 minutes. Our most requested service here addresses this need: we wait for you right at the disembarkation — even if the ferry arrives an hour late (it happens regularly in peak season) — with your Fiat Panda Hybrid ready, air-conditioned, full tank, empty boot. No desks, no queues, no signing after 8 hours at sea: just 5 minutes of paperwork in the open air and you're off. The Panda is the perfect vehicle for the Golfo Aranci tourism profile: families with children, senior couples coming for Capo Figari and the dolphins, independent travellers wanting to explore the north-east coast without spending a fortune on fuel. For those staying longer who want to move along the seafront coves (Spiaggia Bianca, Terza Spiaggia), the Honda SH scooter is the perfect addition: park anywhere on the seafront and leave it at the hotel on return. And on the return journey, hand it back directly at the port: board the ferry and close the holiday like that, no further worries.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver the Panda directly to the ferry terminal?

Yes! It's our most requested service in Golfo Aranci. We wait for you at the disembarkation with the vehicle ready. Tell us the ferry time and we handle everything.

How much is parking near the port?

About €2/hour in summer. With the Panda you easily find space in the free side streets. By scooter you park free anywhere.

Can I explore the north coast with the Fiat Panda?

Absolutely! From Golfo Aranci you reach Porto Rotondo in 20 minutes and San Teodoro in 40. The Panda is perfect for coastal roads.

Do you also rent scooters and quads in Golfo Aranci?

Of course! Honda SH for the centre and beaches, Yamaha Raptor for the inland. VIP delivery included.

What happens if my ferry arrives late?

Nothing — it's the norm in peak season and we're set up to handle it. We monitor the official schedules of your company (Sardinia Ferries, Corsica Ferries, Moby) and adjust the delivery time automatically. You pay nothing extra for ferry delays up to 4 hours. Just disembark calmly.

Can I drop the vehicle off directly at the port on return?

Yes, it's the most convenient flow for those returning to the mainland by ferry. Check out of the hotel, drive to the port, park in the indicated area and hand us the keys (even out of hours, leaving them in the keysafe). We have the return form pre-filled for you.

Golfo Aranci is the point you depart from but also where you return. To the south, in 20 minutes by Panda, you reach the Marina of Porto Rotondo and the hidden coves of Punta Volpe. To the west, in 30 minutes, you're in the heart of Porto Cervo for shopping and the luxury Marina. To the north, the island of Tavolara is reachable by boat with daily excursions from Golfo Aranci port itself, and the dolphins visible from the Capo Figari headland are an experience few Italian tourists know. Our recommendation: dedicate at least half a day to the Capo Figari trail up to the Marconi radio station — breathtaking view over the archipelago, with the Panda parked at the trek starting point.
