Airport Transportation in Olbia
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
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.
Olbia Airport Shuttle
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.
Landing at Olbia Airport
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.

Where will my driver meet me at Olbia Airport?
In the arrivals area of the main terminal, holding a sign with your name, after baggage claim and customs. All scheduled flights arrive at the same terminal, so there is only one exit to look for.
How far is Olbia Airport from Olbia and Porto Cervo?
The airport is about 4 km from the center of Olbia, a short drive. Porto Cervo is about 30 km north, usually 30 to 35 minutes by car and up to about 40 minutes on busy summer afternoons.
Can you take me to Porto Cervo or the Costa Smeralda?
Yes. We drive door to door to hotels and villas in Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo, Baja Sardinia, Cannigione, San Pantaleo and the other Costa Smeralda bays.
Can you take me to San Teodoro?
Yes. We drive south along the coast to hotels, apartments and villas in San Teodoro and its beaches, such as La Cinta.
Can you take me to Palau for the La Maddalena ferry?
Yes. We drive you to the port in Palau, where ferries cross to La Maddalena. Give us your sailing time when you book, and buy your ferry ticket separately.
Can you take me to the ferry port in Olbia or Golfo Aranci?
Yes. We drive you to the Isola Bianca ferry port in Olbia or to the port at Golfo Aranci for sailings to mainland Italy. Give us your sailing time when you book, so the drop-off leaves time to check in.
Can you take me to Santa Teresa Gallura, Cala Gonone or Alghero?
Santa Teresa Gallura is on Sardinia's northern tip, Cala Gonone is on the Gulf of Orosei to the south, and Alghero is on the west coast. 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.
Do you drive to villas and vacation rentals?
Yes. Give the full address, a map pin and any gate code or caretaker's phone number when you book. Many Costa Smeralda villas are on private roads, and these details help your driver reach the door.
How many terminals does Olbia Airport have?
One main terminal handles all scheduled flights, and every arriving passenger exits into its arrivals area. Terminal 2 opens in summer only for charter check-in.
Can you pick me up from a late-night or early-morning flight?
Yes. Book your transfer for your flight's arrival time, even late at night when city buses have stopped. Your driver follows your actual landing time.
Should I accept rides offered inside Olbia Airport?
There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.
What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?
We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight is canceled, changed or diverted to another Sardinian airport, update it in Manage your booking so the pickup can be moved.
Can I book a ride back to Olbia Airport?
Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, apartment or villa, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security.
