Hiring a car in Brindisi lets you combine city travel with the coast and inland Salento. Compare available offers on Rent.it and choose a collection point that fits your arrival and where you will be staying.
How to compare and book on Rent.it
Enter your collection location, dates and times on Rent.it, adding a different return location if needed. Compare the available offers by vehicle category, transmission, luggage capacity and rental terms as well as price. Check the actual branch and its position before confirming: a city search does not let you collect from any office. Rent.it is a broker; the supplier named in your offer provides the vehicle and issues the rental agreement.
Where to collect your car in Brindisi
Salento Airport is the main option to consider when flying into Brindisi and continuing around Puglia. If you are already in town, check whether city offices are available for your dates. The railway station, port and city centre are separate locations: an offer labelled Brindisi does not automatically include port delivery or collection after arriving by train.
For information about individual collection locations, see: Brindisi - Airport (BDS).
Check which branches are available for your travel dates; a named city district does not necessarily have a bookable collection office.
Driving licence, payment cards and security deposit
Bring a valid driving licence, identification and a payment card that meets the offer’s requirements, usually in the main driver’s name. If your licence was issued abroad, check whether an International Driving Permit or a translation is required. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted by every supplier: check both the card type and network in the vehicle details. Paying online does not establish that the same card will be accepted at collection.
Security deposits, insurance excesses, cover, minimum age, surcharges, mileage allowances and additional driver rules vary by supplier, location, vehicle and offer. Read the vehicle details and rental terms before booking, including the funds required on your card. A lower deposit does not necessarily mean a lower excess.
Choosing a vehicle for your trip
A compact car is convenient in town; families should check the boot capacity for holiday luggage. If you will stay in several places, compare comfort and the mileage allowance as well as the daily hire price.
Driving and parking in Brindisi
Watch for ZTL restrictions, pedestrian streets and temporary traffic measures around the centre and waterfront. Identify a suitable car park before approaching your accommodation and check how to reach it legally. For coastal and inland journeys, plan around the actual destination and allow flexibility during busy holiday periods.
Places to drive to from Brindisi
Ostuni and Carovigno offer routes north of Brindisi, while Lecce is an option further into Salento. For a day combining villages and the sea, select a manageable number of stops. Each destination has its own parking and access rules, which may differ from those in Brindisi.
Planning your return
Follow the supplier’s return address, which may differ from the collection office. Allow time for refuelling or charging, the vehicle inspection and your onward journey. Check the fuel policy, late return charges and any out of hours arrangements; do not assume a key drop is available. If you want to leave the car at another branch, check availability and any one way fee in the quote.
