Compare campervan rentals all around the world
Easy to use with no booking fees.
Road Genius compares campervan and motorhome rentals in Italy, letting you view prices and vehicle layouts from several suppliers in one place. Sardinia is reachable by ferry from mainland ports like Livorno, Civitavecchia and Genoa, or by air into Cagliari, Olbia and Alghero. A loop of the island is roughly 600 mi / 970 km, so most travelers focus on one coast per trip.
| Period | Avg High (°F │ °C) | Good time to visit? |
|---|---|---|
| Winter (Dec–Feb) | 57 │ 14 | Only for city visits; many campsites closed |
| Spring (Mar–May) | 64 │ 18 | Yes, mild weather and wildflowers |
| Summer (Jun–Aug) | 88 │ 31 | Yes, peak beach season but crowded |
| Early Autumn (Sep) | 82 │ 28 | Yes, warm sea and fewer crowds |

Many rural roads are narrow; keep the RV width within 2.3 m / 7 ft 7 in to avoid damage from vegetation.
Speed limits are 50 km/h (31 mph) in towns, 90 km/h (56 mph) on main roads and 110 km/h (68 mph) on the dual-carriageway SS131.
There are no freeways on the island, so there are no electronic tolls once you leave the ferry.
Look for brown signs that say "Area Sosta Camper"; these are official motorhome parking areas, often with basic service points.
Historic city centers use ZTL zones (Limited Traffic Zones). Entering without a permit results in automatic fines; park outside and walk in.
Strong Mistral wind can affect high-roof vans on west-coast roads, especially in spring.
