The car
About this car in Porto Cervo
Because the car has to cross on a ferry, Sardinian rentals tend to run for weeks rather than days — and a month here produces far more mileage than anyone expects. Olbia twice, Palau for the boat, San Pantaleo on a Thursday, one long day to Alghero, and a beach run every afternoon.
The X5 30d absorbs that without becoming an expense: a 298 hp straight-six diesel, five seats, room for five medium cases and a small one, and the ride quality to make the rough inland roads unremarkable.
It is the sensible long-stay vehicle of this fleet. Reaching Sardinia means a sea crossing, so the booking is confirmed further ahead.
