On the Adriatic Sea coast of southern Italy lays one of the country’s quickest growing tourist destinations, the city of Bari. For most visitors to Bari, the first sight they see is the country’s small airport, named for Pope John Paul II and one of the city’s main car rental centres.

Located just 11kms away from the city, the single passenger terminal inside Bari’s small airport receives dozens of daily international flights, especially from major British and German destinations. The airport also features a variety of ATM machines, a conference hall popular among business travellers, and a bank.

The two small shops inside Bari Airport are ideal places to pick up last minute souvenirs, duty free items and other necessities. There are many vending machines inside Bari Airport, as well as a bar/café which sells refreshments and light meals, but passengers wishing for larger meals before their flights are advised to eat before arriving at the airport.

However, one thing in wide supply at the airport is options for car hire at Bari Airport Italy (BRI). Visitors may choose an economy car, van, luxury vehicles, or anything in between from such reputable dealers as Expedia, Avis, Thrifty, Budget, Holiday Autos, Opodo, and 123carhire.

Cheap car hire at Bari Airport Italy (BRI) is particularly recommended for those wishing to travel along the strip of beaches along the road from Bari to Brindisi. Other popular places to explore by car hire in Bari include the art museum inside the 12th century Norman-Hohenstaufen Castle and the Barivecchia district’s thriving nightlife.
