Which Documents Are Required for Car Rental?

To finalize your convertible rental agreement in Sardinia, you will need a standard set of documents. We ensure a fast and transparent verification process for all our guests:

  • Driver’s License:
    You must present an original valid license with at least two years of driving experience. For non-EU citizens (e.g., USA, Kazakhstan, UK), Italian law requires an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your national license. This ensures full legal compliance for your road trip across Sardinia.
  • Payment Card:
    A valid credit or debit card is required depending on your chosen protection level (Gold or Silver).
  • International Passport:
    A valid international passport or a national ID card is mandatory for identity verification.
Rental Conditions & Age Restrictions?

We strive to make convertible rentals in Sardinia accessible while maintaining premium safety standards. Our requirements are designed to provide you with maximum security and a seamless experience:

  • Age & Experience:
    Standard rentals are available for drivers aged 25 and over with at least two years of driving experience.
  • Young Drivers (21–24):
    We are one of the few companies offering convertible rentals in Olbia, Cagliari, and Alghero for drivers aged 21 and over. In this case, a deposit of €1,500 – €2,000 is required.
  • Valid Documents:
    A valid original driver’s license with a minimum of 24 months of driving history is mandatory for all categories.
In what cases is the Gold / Silver protection voided?

Even the maximum GOLD and SILVER protection packages are designed exclusively to cover unforeseen road situations and accidents. They do not cover gross negligence, extreme driving, intentional violations of the rules, or reckless treatment of the property.

If any of the following violations are detected, the insurance coverage is completely voided, and the vehicle may be forcibly repossessed from the client at any time without any refund of the rental fees or the security deposit:

  • Leaving the convertible with the roof open:
    It is strictly forbidden to leave the vehicle unattended on any parking lot or street with the top down. In the event of a violation of this rule (even if no theft or rain occurred), as well as in case of interior damage caused by weather conditions (precipitation, sun) or third parties due to the open roof, the client shall be held fully liable.
  • Transportation of animals and interior damage:
    It is strictly prohibited to transport any animals in our vehicles. If the fact of transportation is detected, or if any damage to the interior caused by animals is found (scratches on the leather, snags, fur, odor), the protection is voided, and the client shall fully pay for the interior restoration and professional dry cleaning.
  • Aggressive and extreme driving:
    Drifting (power sliding), using launch control (active start from a standstill), burnouts (warming up/spinning tires), and any other actions leading to extreme wear of the tires and vehicle components are strictly prohibited.
  • Speeding:
    Exceeding the established speed limits on the roads of Sardinia.
  • Transfer of control to third parties:
    Handing over the driving of the vehicle to any person not officially included in the rental agreement.
  • Commercial use:
    Using the vehicle for commercial purposes or to generate profit (sublease, taxi, commercial filming without prior approval).
  • Driving off public roads:
    Any trips off-road, on unpaved or unmarked roads, beaches, or restricted areas. Damage to the suspension, wheel rims, or bodywork sustained off asphalt roads is always paid for by the client in full.
  • Damage from vegetation:
    Scratches and chips caused by careless driving into thick bushes or under low tree branches (for example, on narrow country roads leading to wild beaches).
  • Incorrect refueling:
    Engine breakdowns caused by refueling with the wrong type of fuel.
  • Gross violations of the law:
    Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, running red lights, or driving in the oncoming lane.
  • Leaving the scene of an accident:
    If the primary renter or the second driver listed in the agreement fled the scene of an accident, failed to call the police, or failed to fill out the mandatory European accident statement (Constatazione Amichevole / CAI).
  • Unsafe vehicle storage:
    At night, the vehicle must be parked exclusively in secured areas, closed parking garages, or dedicated well-lit parking lots. The renter is obliged to ensure maximum security of the vehicle when choosing a parking space.

In the event that the protection is voided for any of the above reasons, the client undertakes to fully reimburse the cost of the vehicle repair, its towing, as well as the company’s loss of profit for the entire duration of the vehicle’s downtime.

Remember: We entrust you with exclusive Cabrio Republic™ vehicles for a beautiful and safe holiday in Sardinia, but in return, we expect careful handling and strict adherence to the rules.

Payment Process and Booking Confirmation?

You can choose a convenient payment format:

  • 20% Prepayment (Model Booking):
    You pay a basic deposit to guarantee the reservation of your chosen vehicle model (e.g., Mini Cooper S). The remaining balance is paid upon pick-up.
  • 50% Prepayment (Specific Color/Vehicle Booking):
    If you wish to secure an exclusive vehicle in a specific, unique specification (e.g., Mini Cooper S in the legendary British Racing Green color), the prepayment amount is 50%. This guarantees that this exact, individual vehicle will be waiting for you in Sardinia.
  • Full Payment (100%):
    You settle the entire amount in advance and simply enjoy your vacation upon arrival.

Immediately after the transaction, the car is officially reserved for you. You will receive a confirmation voucher, which guarantees the delivery of your chosen convertible to Olbia, Cagliari, or Alghero airports, or directly to your hotel.

Can I return the convertible in a different city or airport?

Yes, we provide a One-Way rental service to make your journey across the island as flexible as possible. You can start your route at one point in Sardinia and finish it at another.

The service is available by prior arrangement for the following locations:

  • Airports:
    Olbia (OLB), Cagliari (CAG), and Alghero (AHO).
  • Popular Resorts:
    Porto Cervo, Baia Sardinia, Villasimius, and others.
  • Individual Points:
    We can collect the car directly from your villa or hotel anywhere on the island.

Please note: the cost of the one-way rental service is calculated individually and depends on the distance between the pickup and return points.

Are there any mileage restrictions?

We want you to enjoy total freedom and see all the beauty of the island, which is why at Cabrio Republic™, all rates include unlimited mileage.

Travel without limits:

  • From the luxurious Costa Smeralda coast to the wild beaches of Oristano.
  • From the port of Olbia to the snow-white dunes of Chia in the far south.
  • Along the panoramic mountain roads of central Sardinia.

With us, you don’t need to watch the odometer or pay extra for additional kilometers. Your convertible rental means complete freedom of movement from the north to the south of the island.

Is it allowed to take the car outside of Sardinia?

The use of your rented convertible is permitted exclusively within the territory of Sardinia. Taking the car to mainland Italy or abroad (including Corsica) via ferry is strictly prohibited by the terms of the rental agreement.

Why this is important for your safety:

  • Technical Support:
    We guarantee prompt assistance and service anywhere in Sardinia. Outside the island, we cannot provide the same level of premium support.
  • Insurance Terms:
    Your coverage is valid only within the region of Sardinia.
  • Return Guarantee:
    This rule allows us to always deliver well-maintained and inspected vehicles on time to Olbia, Cagliari, and Alghero airports.

We are certain that Sardinia offers more than enough picturesque roads and panoramic views for your most unforgettable journey!

Are there any additional costs during the rental process?

We stand for fair car rentals in Sardinia without hidden fees. The price already includes the vehicle itself and your chosen insurance package. All operating expenses incurred during the trip are paid by the renter independently:

  • Fuel Policy:
    We follow the “full-to-full” rule. You receive the convertible with a full tank and return it equally full. This is the most transparent scheme, where you only pay for the gasoline actually used.
  • Paid Parking and Roads:
    Payment for municipal parking and private parking lots is handled by the client. Remember that in Olbia, Cagliari, and Alghero, there are Limited Traffic Zones (ZTL), where entry without a permit is prohibited.
  • Traffic Fines:
    The renter bears full responsibility for complying with Italian traffic laws. If a fine is received after the rental period, we are obligated to provide your details to the road police.
What if we didn’t have time to refuel?

We understand that before your flight from Olbia, Cagliari, or Alghero airports, your time may be limited. If you couldn’t find a gas station or didn’t have time to refill the tank, don’t worry – we will do it for you. In this case, the cost of the missing fuel will simply be deducted from your deposit according to current gas station prices plus a refueling service fee (€20).

What to do in case of an accident or breakdown in Sardinia?

First of all — stay calm. Your safety is our top priority. In the event of any incident on the island’s roads, follow these instructions:

  • Ensure safety:
    Stop the car, turn on hazard lights, put on the reflective vest (in the trunk), and set up the warning triangle.
  • Documentation (Europrotocol):
    If another party is involved and there are no injuries, fill out the blue Constatazione Amichevole (CAI) form found in the glove box.
  • Call the Police:
    If there are injuries or a dispute, call the emergency services at 112.
  • Photos:
    Take clear photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and the other participant’s documents.

Important:
It is strictly forbidden to leave the scene before completing all formalities to keep your insurance valid.

How does the vehicle handover and return process work?

We value your time, so the registration procedure is simplified as much as possible and takes about 10–15 minutes. Our goal is to get you on the road as quickly as possible.

Document Verification:
On-site, we sign the official rental agreement and the handover certificate. You must have the originals:

  • International Passport (or ID card)

Video Recording (Your insurance against disputes):
We believe in honest relationships. Before handing over the keys, our manager will perform a detailed 360° video recording in your presence, covering every body element, the condition of the rims, and the interior.

  • Instant Confirmation:
    The video recording file is immediately sent to the renter via WhatsApp or email for confirmation. The video is also stored in our database. This guarantees absolute transparency — upon returning the vehicle, you will face no claims regarding damages that were already present prior to your rental.

Briefing and Keys:
We will show you how to operate the roof, connect your phone to the multimedia system, and locate all necessary functions. After that, you receive the keys and set off to enjoy Sardinia.

Vehicle Return:
The return process is just as fast. We conduct a brief inspection, cross-check the condition with the video recording, and, if everything is in order, instantly close the contract.

More detailed information can be found on the Rental Terms and Safety Guarantees page.

Do I need a credit card or can I use a debit card?

Unlike most international rentals in Italy, we offer flexible payment terms. You can rent a convertible in Sardinia using a debit card.

Terms for using a debit card:

  • GOLD Protection Package:
    When paying with a debit card, it is mandatory to select the Gold protection level.
  • Minimal Deposit:
    Thanks to the GOLD insurance, your security deposit will be only €300, which is significantly lower than market standards.
  • Security:
    This format allows us to minimize your financial liability as much as possible, making your trip to Sardinia completely worry-free.

We accept Visa and Mastercard. This is an ideal solution if you do not want to block large sums on credit accounts during your holiday in Olbia, Cagliari, or Alghero.

Can I pay for the car rental with cryptocurrency?

Yes, Cabrio Republic™ keeps pace with the times. We accept payments in Tether (USDT) stablecoins. This is a reliable, fast, and confidential payment method that allows you to book a car from anywhere in the world without banking restrictions.

How to book a convertible with USDT:

  • Application:
    When booking on the website, select “Cryptocurrency (USDT)” in the “Payment Method” section.
  • Contacting the Manager:
    Our specialist will contact you to confirm the availability of the selected convertible for your dates and fix the price.
  • Payment Link:
    We will send you personal details (wallet address or QR code) for the transfer via the TRC-20 network.
  • Confirmation:
    Immediately after the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain (usually 2–5 minutes), your convertible will be officially booked, and a voucher will be sent to your email.

Important:
Please do not make payments without prior confirmation from our manager. We work personally with each client to guarantee the security of your transfer and the correct selection of the network (TRC-20).

How does the pickup process work at the airport (Olbia, Cagliari, Alghero)?

We turn vehicle pickup into a pleasant start to your vacation. You can choose one of two options:

Direct Terminal Delivery (VIP Service):
Our representative will deliver your convertible right to the terminal exit (Olbia, Cagliari, or Alghero).

We value your time: a quick inspection, signing the contract on the hood and you are already on your way under the Sardinian sun.

Italian Style Meeting (Transfer and Coffee):
Our representative will meet you at the airport with a name sign and take you to our car parking area in a comfortable 7-seater vehicle.

  • Atmosphere:
    Instead of queues in an office, we will invite you to a cozy Italian bar nearby.
  • Process:
    Over a cup of authentic Sardinian espresso or cappuccino, we will sign the rental agreement in a relaxed setting, discuss insurance details, share secret island locations, and hand over the keys.
  • Result:
    You begin your journey as a welcome guest, having settled all formalities in the most pleasant environment.
Is it possible to deliver the convertible directly to my hotel?

Yes, we offer an exclusive “Turnkey Delivery” service. You don’t need to adapt to our schedule – we adapt to yours.

How it works:

  • Geography:
    We will deliver your chosen convertible to the hotel doors or to a pier in any port in Sardinia (for example, in Porto Cervo or Porto Rotondo).
  • On-site Registration:
    Our manager will arrive at the appointed time, finalize the rental agreement on the spot, and hand over the keys. The entire process takes no more than 15 minutes.
  • Flexibility:
    The service is available across the entire island. The cost is calculated individually based on the distance from our base locations (Sassari, Olbia, Cagliari, Alghero).

Planning Tip:
Please inform us of your delivery requirements 24–48 hours in advance so we can guarantee the vehicle is delivered exactly on time.

Why are your convertibles not presented in general airport parking lots?

It is a matter of our fundamental approach to quality and safety. Unlike mass-market rental services, we do not leave our cars in general open parking lots at Sardinia’s airports for several important reasons:

  • Protection of Interior and Mechanisms:
    The Sardinian sun and sea air are aggressive. We store our convertibles exclusively in closed, dry parking garages to preserve the perfect condition of the leather interior and the flawless operation of the folding roof mechanism.
  • Safety and Cleanliness:
    In public parking lots, cars are at risk of accidental scratches and dust. We guarantee that you will receive a vehicle in “Showroom Condition” – perfectly clean and inspected.
  • Exclusive Service:
    Instead of waiting in lines at plastic counters in the terminal, we offer you a personal meeting. We deliver the car from the garage specifically for your arrival, keeping it cool and ready for the drive.

Your comfort is more important than mass appeal.
We have chosen the path of personalized service so that each of our convertibles remains a work of engineering art, rather than just a “rental vehicle.”

How to operate the convertible roof?

Don’t worry, operating the roof in our cars is as simple and intuitive as possible. During the vehicle handover, our manager will provide a detailed briefing and demonstrate the entire process in practice.

Features of our models:

  • Fiat 124 Spider and Mazda MX-5:
    These legendary roadsters are equipped with a classic soft top that folds and unfolds manually in just 3 – 5 seconds. This can be done with one hand without leaving the driver’s seat.
  • Mini Cooper Cabrio:
    This model features a fully electric roof. You simply need to press and hold a button in the cabin, and the system handles everything.

Important safety rules:

  • Complete Stop:
    We strongly recommend opening or closing the roof only when the car is completely stopped on a level surface.
  • Cleanliness:
    Do not fold the roof if it is covered in sand or very wet after rain; it is better to let it dry slightly first.
  • Clear Space:
    Ensure there are no objects in the trunk that could interfere with the mechanism (especially relevant for the Mini).
When is the security deposit returned?

We value your trust and time, which is why we adhere to an instant refund policy.

How the return process works:

  • Vehicle Inspection:
    Our representative inspects the convertible in your presence at the time of its return.
  • Instant Refund:
    If the vehicle is returned in proper condition, the deposit refund procedure is initiated immediately on the spot.

Refund Methods:

  • Cash:
    Returned to your hands immediately after the inspection.
  • Bank Cards (via POS terminal):
    We perform an instant reversal or refund operation in your presence.
  • PayPal:
    If the security deposit was sent via PayPal, we issue an instant refund (Refund) in your presence at the moment of vehicle return. When using a PayPal account, the funds are credited to your balance instantly; for card payments processed through the PayPal system, the processing time depends entirely on your bank.
  • Cryptocurrency (USDT):
    If the deposit was made in USDT, we send it back to your TRC-20 network wallet immediately after receiving the keys.

Important:
When returning funds to a bank card, the actual arrival of funds in your account depends on your bank’s processing speed (usually from a few minutes to 3 business days), but the transaction is closed on our side immediately.

Can my friend or relative drive the convertible?

According to safety regulations and insurance terms, the car may only be driven by the individual whose details are entered into the rental agreement.

“Additional Driver” Service:
If you plan to take turns at the wheel during your trip across Sardinia, you can officially add an additional driver to the contract.

  • Requirements:
    The second driver must provide an original passport and a driver’s license that meet our standards (age and driving experience).
  • Registration:
    Details are added to the contract upon vehicle pickup or in advance during booking.
  • Cost:
    The service is + €10 per day.

Important:
Please remember that if the vehicle is operated by a person not listed in the contract, the insurance coverage is completely voided. All financial liability for any potential incidents falls on the primary renter.

When does the rental day start?

We use a transparent 24-hour rental system. This means you pay for the actual time you use the vehicle.

  • Starting Point:
    The 24-hour period begins exactly at the moment you sign the contract and receive the keys to the convertible.
  • Example:
    If you pick up the car at 14:00, it must be returned by 14:00 on the final day of the rental.
  • Punctuality:
    Please respect the return schedule. This allows us to prepare the car on time (including cleaning and technical inspection) for the next guest.

Tip:
If you realize you are running late due to traffic or a change in plans, please contact our manager in advance. We always try to be accommodating if our delivery schedule permits.

What is the minimum rental period for a convertible?

We offer flexible rental formats adapted to your goals—from a week-long grand tour of Sardinia to a stylish one-hour photo shoot.

Classic Daily Rental:
Minimum booking period: 24 hours (1 day).

  • Who it’s for:
    Ideal for independent travel between Olbia, Cagliari, and Alghero.
  • The Rule:
    The car must be returned no later than the time it was picked up (e.g., 10:00 AM – 10:00 AM).

Hourly Rental for Content and Events:
We are one of the few companies in Sardinia providing convertibles for professional tasks on a short-term basis.

  • Minimum order: 3 hours.
  • Goals:
    Wedding processions, commercial shoots, Reels sessions, or event accompaniment.
  • Terms:
    The cost is calculated individually and includes the logistics of delivering the car to the shooting location.

For long-term rentals (3 days or more), special rates apply, making the cost of each travel day significantly more profitable.

If you haven’t found the answer you’re looking for or need expert assistance in choosing the perfect roadster, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are available 24/7 to ensure your Sardinia holiday is truly unforgettable and seamless.
