Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Olbia Airport (OLB) in Sardinia, Italy, to Olbia, Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo, San Teodoro and the Palau ferries, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Olbia takes you from Costa Smeralda Airport to hotels and apartments in Olbia, north to the villas and resorts of Porto Rotondo, Porto Cervo, Baja Sardinia and Cannigione, south to San Teodoro, and to the ferry ports at Olbia and Palau.
Olbia airport transfers start in the arrivals area of the main terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign after baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and you agree a fixed price per vehicle before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.
Each Olbia airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or villa in Olbia, on the Costa Smeralda or in San Teodoro, or to the port for your ferry. Heading on to Santa Teresa Gallura, Cala Gonone or Alghero? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our Olbia airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a summer coach to the Costa Smeralda that runs on a timetable and stops in every resort. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and golf bags, and suits families and groups staying in villas or catching a ferry.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB) is on the edge of Olbia in northeast Sardinia, and Geasar runs it. All scheduled flights use the main terminal; a second building, Terminal 2, opens in summer only for charter check-in, so every arriving passenger exits into the same arrivals area.
Flights from Italy and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; from outside the Schengen area, including the UK, the US and Dubai, you line up at passport control before baggage claim. After customs you come out into the arrivals area, with an information desk, ATMs and a currency exchange, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers. In summer, lines can be long when several flights land together.
Sardinia is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 from late March to late October. Italy uses the euro.
Schengen entry. Italy is in the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Ferry tickets. Ferries to La Maddalena from Palau, and to mainland Italy from Olbia and Golfo Aranci, are booked separately with the ferry company. Give us your sailing time when you book, so the drop-off leaves time to check in.
Limited-traffic zone in Olbia. Parts of Olbia's historic center around Corso Umberto are a limited-traffic zone (ZTL). Give your full address; where cars cannot enter, your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.
Villas and gated estates. Many villas on the Costa Smeralda sit on private roads or behind gates. Send the exact address, a map pin and any gate code or caretaker's number when you book.
