Car rental in Taranto: where to rent in the city and at the airports, what you need and practical tips for exploring the territory independently.
History
To visit the city, walking is enough — but to discover the territory — the ravines, the Itria Valley, the villages and the beaches of the Ionian coast — a car truly makes the difference. Renting is the most practical solution for those arriving by train or plane.
What to see
Where to rent. The main rental companies operate at the Bari and Brindisi airports, often the most convenient choice for those arriving by air. In the city and near the station you'll find local and national agencies.
What you need. Generally a valid driving licence, a credit card in the driver's name and an identity document. Surcharges may apply for young drivers or recently issued licences.
Practical tips. Consider a compact car: many streets in the historic villages are narrow and parking is limited. Always check the insurance cover and photograph the vehicle's condition at pick-up.
With a car, itineraries otherwise complicated open up: the Itria Valley, the Ravines Park, the Primitivo Wine Route and all the beaches of the coast.
