Alghero Travel Forum

We arrive in Alghero on Saturday and would really like to hire an old Italian Fiat 500, not a standard hire car. Does anyone out there know if this is possible?

Don't know if it's possible, but start with the usual suspects at the airport car hire, Hertz Avis & Europcar

great location for a trip - we'll be back in August

No way you will find an old 500 at a regular car hire. The newer are from '77...
There are plenty, but all in hands of amateurs....
You can only hope on one of them.....
And, by the way, keep in mind that the nice 500 is a pleasure to drive, but not so easy to get used to the non-sync gear box!

Ah, Francesco, I had forgotten about the gear box...I just remembered that in case of emergency, two grown men (one on each bumper) could lift/bounce the car out of the way if it blocked the street(!).

Hard to believe that I once got myself and 5 students in an old Fiat 500!!! It almost didn't make it up the hill ;-)

Bill, it would take a whole night and maybe more than a single amarone bottle just sampling a few of the things our generation did with/inside a Fiat 500!
Ciao!
