Where to Rent a Car in Bari

Most tourists prefer to rent a car directly at Bari Palese Airport, which offers the advantage of picking up the vehicle upon arrival without needing to travel into the city for pick-up. The airport is well-equipped with counters from various car rental companies, conveniently located in the arrival terminals. For those arriving in the city by other means, there are also various options available in the center of Bari, often near the train station or in central areas such as Via Amendola, where several agencies are concentrated. Useful Tips for Car Rental in Bari:

• Credit or Debit Card? When planning to rent a car, it is important to carefully check the payment methods accepted by the rental company. Most companies require a credit card in the name of the main driver as a guarantee for the deposit at the time of car pick-up. It is less common, but some companies may also accept debit cards; however, this may be subject to additional restrictions and may not be valid for all types of vehicles or rates. It is essential to contact the rental company directly to confirm which cards are accepted and what conditions must be met.
• Advance Booking: It is always advisable to book the car in advance to ensure availability, especially during the high tourist season.
• Insurance: Check the insurance options offered and consider adding full coverage to avoid unexpected costs in case of accidents.
• Vehicle Inspection: Upon pick-up, inspect the car for any pre-existing damage and ensure they are documented to avoid disputes upon return.
