  • Most flights to Salento are served at Brindisi Airport (BDS), also called Salento Airport and Brindisi Papola Casale Airport. At this airport, you can easily rent a vehicle, given that it features a rental car facility immediately beside the main terminal building. This facility hosts counters for agencies like Autovia, Avis, Hertz, Locauto, Loran, Noleggiare, Sixt, Sicily by Car, and Leasys.

  • Car rentals in Salento offer a variety of rentals, including mini, economy, sedan, and SUV rentals. Before settling on a given rental, consider the number of individuals accompanying you on your trip.
