Car rental at Bari Airport

Bari Airport serves the beautiful Apulia region of Italy, on the country’s Adriatic coast. Many holidaymakers choose to pick up a hire car at Bari Airport (also known as Palese Airport), so they have the freedom to explore this stunning corner of Italy at their leisure — without being reliant on public transport.

Located around 8km (5 miles) north-west of Bari city centre, the airport is served by a number of airlines — including low-cost carriers like Ryanair and easyJet. Bari Airport handles over 3.5 million people each year, and we help many of those visitors find cheap car hire deals on a wide range of vehicles.

To bring you exclusive prices on a range of manual and automatic cars, we compare a number of car hire companies at Bari Airport (including major names like Avis, Hertz and Europcar, as well as local suppliers like Maggiore, Locauto and Sicily by Car).

In many cases, cars come with a special offer to give you even better value for money. Offers can include an additional driver, GPS or Collision Damage Waiver with zero excess at no extra cost.

In Italy, most car hire companies use one of two fuel policies: either a full-to-full policy, or a pre-purchase policy where you are refunded for any unused fuel at the end of your rental.

A full-to-full policy is one we recommend if you don’t wish to purchase fuel upfront but don’t mind finding a petrol station to refill before dropping the car off. If the car isn’t returned with a full tank of fuel you will charged to refill it at a premium price.

We also ask each customer to rate and review their whole rental experience (from the condition of the car to the helpfulness of the counter staff), giving you impartial, honest advice — before you decide which company you want to rent with.

Whether you want something small, spacious or stylish, finding the right car for you is easy with the help of our filters (which let you tailor the results to suit your needs). The mini, economy and compact car groups are ideal for couples and single travellers without much luggage — these nifty cars are easy to drive and park, making them great for urban driving.

If you want something a bit more spacious, take a look at the intermediate and standard cars (which can generally hold two large bags and one small bag), or the family-sized estates (which can usually hold three large bags). Bigger groups will find plenty of space in the people carriers, which can seat up to nine people.

You can even book a sleek convertible, perfect for coastal drives in the summer months. Feel the refreshing breeze as you take to the open road!

Some of the car hire companies have their pick-up counter in the terminal itself, giving you the easiest possible start to your holiday. All this information will be displayed upfront when you search for a car on our site.
