Top tips for renting a car in Bari
- Finding cheap car rentals in Bari allows you to explore everything from ancient architecture to the Adriatic Sea. If you want to visit the limestone cave houses of Matera, drive south along SS96 and SS99 for a little under an hour. If you want to visit the famous cathedral in Trani, drive west out of Bari along SS16 for about 45min or so. For those who want to hike in nature, continue driving west from Trani along SS16 and SP5. In an hour or so, you’ll reach Gargano National Park. Those who prefer big cities may wish to check out Naples. Head west out of Bari along E55 and E842 for three hours or so.
- To get the most out of Bari car rentals, it’s essential to stay aware of local Bari events that cause extra traffic. In late March and early April, the Bari International Film festival takes place in multiple theaters around the city. However, the most prominent theater is the Teatro Petruzzelli, so there’s a lot of traffic around Corso Cavour and Via Salvatore Cognetti. From May 6 to May 9, Saint Nicholas is celebrated through street processions around Basilica San Nicola on Largo Papa Urbano II street. In September, the Fiera del Levante trade center hosts a massive exhibition also called Fiera del Levante. During this time, traffic around Via Paolo Pinto, Via Adriatico, and Lungomare Starita can be slow.
- There aren’t any toll roads inside Bari itself. However, there are major toll roads that go from Bari to Naples in the west. These are the A14 and A16 toll roads. The “A” stands for “Autostrade” and these toll roads are indicated by a green highway sign. When you enter the toll road, you’ll need to take a ticket that you’ll pay when you exit the toll road. It may cost around EUR 18.30 (USD 18.30) for the entire ride. You may pay the toll with cash, a card, or Telepass.
- Bari offers breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea and many historical buildings with rich architecture. With a rental car, you can take your time seeing the sights. Drive inland by about 60 miles to visit several charming little towns and tour historical buildings like the Altamura Cathedral to truly get a unique Bari experience.
- Planning your dream vacation to the Apulia Region of Italy? Several rental car companies have offices at its Bari Airport. This includes Europcar, Thrifty, and Hertz, among others. Open Monday through Sunday, you can rent and pick up your car in the arrival hall of the airport and be on your way quickly and easily.
- Driving around Bari and its surrounding cities should be pretty simple. When in residential areas, however, you’ll want to be aware of what are called “limited traffic zones” (or ZTL). These are areas in which you are restricted from driving in unless you have a special pass. There can be a substantial fine for driving in these areas without authorization.
- If you are touring Bari through the week, you’ll need to be aware of peak or rush hour times. The streets of the old town are especially narrow and get congested really fast on weekdays. Therefore, you’ll want to avoid driving during the morning (6 a.m. - 8 a.m.) or evening (4 p.m. - 6 p.m.) rush hours.

Pros:
Honestly nothing. We were lied to. The best part was the rep from the other rental car company we ended up using.Cons:
This was the worst possible experience I could have imagined. We chose to use kayak and budget because they are supposedly reputable companies but this experience was a total scam. We were told our reservation wasn’t valid and would need to book a different car for 3x the price once we arrived.Rhodium

Sep 2019
Pros:
Honestly nothing. It took nearly two hours to get the car. The line was incredibly slow and a total mess. We had reserved an Audi, but they only had a Ford Focus, and tried to claim it was in the same class. Then they tried to up sell us. They were doing the same thing to everyone.Cons:
The pick up process was a total mess. They are very deceptive in the classes of car that they advertise. It took about two hours to actually get a car. Would never rent from this Avis again. Allow yourself time for the return as that also takes longer than it should.8.8 Very good
Jun 2017
Pros:
Efficient and quick. Good instructions and signage. Drop off employee was very friendly and communicated our small issue to the manager right away. Manager was friendly and open to resolving our small issue with a previously damaged windshield wiper.Cons:
The pickup employee in the lot was told that the windshield wiper was damaged but he did nothing to change it or repair it, leaving us with a wiper that left streaks whenever we used the wipers. The Fiat 500L is great but takes getting used to for North American drivers since it's a Manual/Automatic hybrid. The rolling backwards when in Reverse and slow acceleration on the highway were scary at times.2.0 Poor
