About Renting a Car at Bari Airport
Bari Karol Wojtyla Airport (BRI) is the Apulia region's international airport, located 8 km northwest of central Bari. With 40 rental companies on site, this is one of Southern Italy's best-equipped car rental destinations, perfect as a starting point for a road trip along the Apulia coast and cultural heritage. From the airport, you can reach Lecce in 1 hour and 30 minutes and Matera in 1 hour and 20 minutes.
The airport is close to motorway A14, which quickly takes you south toward Taranto and Brindisi or north toward Foggia and the Gargano Peninsula. The area around the airport is characterized by olive groves and typical Apulian agricultural landscape. Pick up your car right upon arrival - rental desks are in the arrivals hall and require no shuttle.
Book in advance during summer when Apulia is extremely popular and cars run out quickly. Choose a car with GPS if you plan to drive on the winding country roads of Valle d'Itria. How long does it take to drive from Bari Airport to Alberobello?
