Why private parking in Olbia’s old town matters
Quick answer: Olbia’s historic centre is a ZTL with six camera gates and no tourist permits, street spaces near Corso Umberto fill up by early evening, and rental-car fines run €83 to €332. Via Sassari 20 is the only private, gated, video-monitored car park a few minutes’ walk from the centro storico, and RENTAL12 guests have it to themselves.
Parking in Olbia is the one thing that spoils otherwise perfect holidays. The old town is small and walkable, which is exactly why cars are kept out of it: four ZTL zones, six automatic camera gates, parking banned inside at any hour, and a Comune that issues no permits to visitors. Hosts cannot register a guest’s plate either. The blue-line street spaces around the centre are first come, first served, and in July and August they are gone by the time the passeggiata starts.
That is why RENTAL12 secured Via Sassari 20. It is a walled, paved lot with a motorised gate, cameras running around the clock, marked bays and night lighting, positioned just outside the ZTL boundary so you never pass a camera on the way in. From the gate you walk to Corso Umberto in a few minutes and to any RENTAL12 apartment in the old town in five to ten. The lot is operated by OlbiaParking.it (Lion Development S.r.l.) and reserved for guests with a confirmed RENTAL12 booking.
One thing we say plainly, because the sign at the gate says it too: this is an unattended car park (parcheggio non custodito). Recorded cameras, wall and gate instead of an attendant, surveillance that is passive rather than staffed, and no custody contract for the vehicle. The comparison below shows what that means next to the alternatives.
| Feature | RENTAL12 · Via Sassari 20 | Street parking (blue lines) | Public car parks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reserved space | Guaranteed, assigned bay | First come, first served | First come, first served |
| Gate + cameras | Motorised gate, 24/7 recorded video | None | Varies by car park |
| ZTL exposure | Outside the zone, camera-free route | Many streets inside the ZTL | Outside, but often far from the centre |
| Walk to Corso Umberto | A few minutes | Depends where you find a space | Usually farther out |
| EV charging | Type 2 on site (+10%) | None | Rare |
| Access | 24/7 with personal code | 24/7, no protection | Varies |

Quick answer: The entrance is at Via Sassari 20, 07026 Olbia (SS), coordinates 40.9235 N, 9.4970 E, at the edge of the historic centre. Corso Umberto is a few minutes on foot, the RENTAL12 homes on Via Garibaldi, Cavour, Tigellio, La Marmora and delle Terme five to ten minutes, and Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport about 10 km (12 to 15 minutes by car).
Set your navigation to “Via Sassari 20, Olbia”. The gate faces the street; the keypad is on the left.

Arrival, exit and the Olbia ZTL
Quick answer: Approach Via Sassari from outside the ZTL, never through Corso Umberto. The ZTL has six camera gates: two are active 24/7, the other four daily from 17:00 to 24:00, and parking inside is banned at all times. Fines are €83 to €332 (about €58.10 if paid within five days) plus the rental company’s handling fee.
Arrival
- Approach via Via Mameli or Via San Simplicio, cross Corso Umberto at the junction and turn right into Via Sassari. ZTL gate 4 (Corso Umberto I × Via Sassari, active daily 17:00 to 24:00) stands at this junction: turn into Via Sassari and do not continue along Corso Umberto or into Via Garibaldi, both inside the ZTL.
- Find the keypad to the left of the gate and enter the code sent with your booking.
- Park only in the bay assigned to you and take your valuables with you.
Exit
- Vehicle gate: left switch. Pedestrian gate: right switch.
- Standard exit: turn right into Via La Marmora (outside the ZTL). Do not follow a GPS route through Corso Umberto.
Google Maps does not show Olbia’s ZTL. Obey the illuminated “Varco Attivo” signs at the gates. Gates 1 (Corso Umberto × Corso Vittorio Emanuele II) and 6 (Via delle Terme × Via Acquedotto Romano) run 24/7; gates 2 to 5 are active daily 17:00 to 24:00.
- No tourist permits: the Comune di Olbia issues none, and hosts cannot register a guest’s plate.
- Fine: €83 to €332 per unauthorised transit under the Codice della Strada, plus the rental company’s fee.
- Entered by mistake? Report it within 48 hours to [email protected] (Polizia Municipale, Via Macerata 9).

❓ Frequently asked questions
Quick answer: The thirteen answers below cover eligibility, the attended-versus-unattended question, the ZTL, rates, EV charging, liability and late arrivals; each starts with a one-sentence answer and continues with the practical detail.
Who can use the car park at Via Sassari 20?
Who is allowed to park at the RENTAL12 private car park at Via Sassari 20 in Olbia, and can non-guests book a space?
Only guests with a confirmed RENTAL12 booking for one of its 37 apartments or villas can park at Via Sassari 20; it is not open to the public.
The car park is a guest-only facility. It is not a public car park and it cannot be booked without an accommodation reservation. Once your RENTAL12 booking is confirmed, you add a space by writing to the team on WhatsApp (+39 3284 555915) or by email ([email protected]) with your booking reference. Availability is confirmed and the access code is sent before arrival.
Is the car park attended (“parcheggio custodito”)?
Is the RENTAL12 car park at Via Sassari 20 an attended, guarded car park (parcheggio custodito) or an unattended one?
No: it is an unattended (non custodito), gated private car park with 24/7 recorded video surveillance and keypad access at any hour, but no attendant, no live monitoring and no custody contract for the vehicle.
The honest answer to the most common question we get. The lot is walled, gated and covered by cameras that record around the clock (passive surveillance: the footage is kept and checked after an incident, nobody watches it live), and only guests with a personal code can drive in. There is, however, no attendant on site and the fee covers the use of the space only. Under Italian law that makes it a “parcheggio non custodito”: the operator does not take the car into custody. Lock the car, take your valuables with you and use the gate exactly as shown in the videos. The full conditions are in the fine print at the bottom of this page.
Is the car park outside Olbia’s ZTL?
Does the Via Sassari 20 car park sit outside Olbia’s limited-traffic zone (ZTL), and which nearby streets are restricted?
Yes, Via Sassari 20 sits just outside the ZTL boundary, so you reach the gate without passing a camera; the historic-centre streets behind it (Corso Umberto, Via Garibaldi, Via Cavour) are inside the ZTL.
The lot is outside the zone, which is the whole point of it. The ZTL itself has six camera gates: two run 24/7 (Corso Umberto × Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and Via delle Terme × Via Acquedotto Romano), the other four are active daily from 17:00 to 24:00, and parking inside is banned around the clock. A wrong turn onto Corso Umberto costs €83 to €332 plus the rental company’s fee. Follow the arrival route on this page and read the Olbia ZTL zones & gates guide before you drive in.
What does parking cost and how do I book?
What are the 2026 rates for the RENTAL12 private car park in Olbia and how is a space reserved?
Rates are €22 per day or €132 per week from September to June and €36 per day or €216 per week in July and August (valid to 31 December 2026); spaces are booked directly with RENTAL12 by WhatsApp or email.
Two seasons, four prices, no hidden extras: €22/day or €132/week from September to June, €36/day or €216/week in July and August. EV charging adds 10% to the parking rate. To reserve, message +39 3284 555915 on WhatsApp or write to [email protected] with your booking reference; the team confirms availability and sends the gate code and arrival instructions.
Is EV charging available and what does it cost?
Can I charge an electric car at the Via Sassari 20 car park in Olbia, and how is the charging billed?
Yes, a Type 2 charging point is installed on site and costs the standard parking rate plus a 10% surcharge, for example €24.20 instead of €22 per day.
The charging point uses a Type 2 connector, the European standard for AC charging, so it works with Tesla and every other current European EV. Charging is billed as your parking rate plus 10% to cover the electricity: €24.20 a day off-season, €39.60 a day in July and August. Tell the team you need the charger when you book.
Is the car park covered?
Is the RENTAL12 car park at Via Sassari 20 a covered garage or an open-air lot?
No, it is an open-air, paved and walled lot with marked bays and night lighting; there is no roof or underground level.
Think private courtyard, not multi-storey garage. The surface is paved, every bay is marked and numbered, the perimeter is walled with one motorised vehicle gate plus a pedestrian gate, and the area is lit at night. In August a sunshade for the windscreen is a good idea.
Can I arrive late at night?
Can I enter the Via Sassari 20 car park late at night or outside office hours?
Yes, the car park is accessible 24/7 with the keypad code sent before arrival, which stays valid for the whole booking.
There are no opening hours. The keypad sits to the left of the gate, the code works from your check-in time until check-out, and the lot is lit at night. If you land on a late flight, watch the two-minute video guide on this page before you leave the airport.
Where exactly is the car park and how far are the apartments?
What is the exact address of the RENTAL12 car park and how far is it on foot from the RENTAL12 apartments in Olbia old town?

How far is the car park from Olbia airport?
How far is the Via Sassari 20 car park from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport and how long does the drive take?
About 10 km (6 miles) from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, a drive of roughly 12 to 15 minutes depending on traffic.
Leave the airport towards Olbia centre (Città), then follow the arrival route described above towards Via Sassari. Allow extra time in July and August, when the ring road and the port area are busy in the late afternoon.
Who is liable if my car is damaged or stolen?
Who is responsible for theft of or damage to a vehicle parked at the unattended RENTAL12 car park at Via Sassari 20?
As an unattended car park the operator, Lion Development S.r.l., is not liable for theft, fire, weather damage or damage caused by other users, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence (art. 1229 Italian Civil Code); claims go against the party responsible and your own insurance.
This is standard for private car parks in Italy and it is spelled out on the sign at the gate and in the conditions below. The cameras, the wall and the gate reduce the risk considerably, but they do not turn the lot into a guarded deposit. Keep your rental car’s insurance documents to hand and report any incident to the team immediately so the recordings can be checked.
Can I leave luggage or valuables in the car?
Is it possible to store luggage at the car park or leave valuables inside a parked car at Via Sassari 20?
No: the car park has no luggage storage, and cash, documents, jewellery and valuable equipment must not be left on board; every RENTAL12 apartment has in-unit storage for your bags.
Treat the car as a car, not a locker. Take documents, electronics and anything of value up to the apartment, where wardrobes and closets are available. The conditions require the vehicle to be locked with anti-theft devices activated and no valuables in sight.
Is there motorcycle or scooter parking?
Does the Via Sassari 20 car park accept motorcycles, scooters or mopeds as well as cars?
The bays are designed for cars, vans and standard SUVs; for a motorcycle or scooter contact RENTAL12 on WhatsApp (+39 3284 555915) or by email before arrival.
Two-wheelers can usually be accommodated, but the space needs to be confirmed in advance because the bays are laid out for cars. Note that mopeds and motorbikes are not exempt from the ZTL cameras.
How do I open the gate and get out again?
How does the keypad entry work at the Via Sassari 20 car park and how do I open the gate to leave?
Enter your code on the keypad to the left of the gate to drive in; to leave, use the left switch for the vehicle gate and the right switch for the pedestrian gate.
The motorised sliding gate opens on the code and closes by itself. Inside, two switches next to the gate operate the exits: left for the vehicle gate, right for the pedestrian gate. Park only in the bay assigned to you.
