Brindisi Car Rental Essentials

Everything U.S. travelers need to know before hitting the road in Puglia

Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent a car in Brindisi?
Yes. Italy legally requires U.S. citizens to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside their U.S. driver's license. Car rental companies in Brindisi may refuse your rental without one, and police can issue fines up to €300 if you're stopped. Get your IDP from AAA or AATA before leaving the U.S.—it costs around $20 and takes minutes.
What are ZTL zones, and will I get fined for driving into them?
ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato) are restricted traffic zones in Italian historic centers—and yes, cameras automatically fine unauthorized vehicles. Brindisi's old town has ZTL areas, and fines range from €80-100 plus rental company admin fees. Look for circular signs with 'ZTL' in red. GPS often routes through them, so stay alert and park in designated areas outside the center.
How do I pay highway tolls on Italian autostrade?
Italian highways use a ticket-based system: grab a ticket when entering, pay when exiting. Pay by cash or credit card at attended lanes (look for 'Biglietto' or symbols showing cash/card). Avoid 'Telepass' lanes—those are electronic-only. The A14 highway passing Brindisi costs approximately €10-15 to reach Bari (115 km) or €25-30 to Lecce (160 km).
Will I be charged extra if I'm under 25 years old?
Most rental companies in Brindisi charge a 'young driver surcharge' of €15-25 per day for drivers aged 21-24. Some companies set the minimum age at 21 for certain car categories. Drivers under 21 typically cannot rent. If you're 25+, you'll avoid this fee entirely. Book in advance and compare companies—some waive the fee for loyalty members.
What's the fuel policy, and are gas stations easy to find?
Most rentals use a full-to-full fuel policy—return the car with a full tank or face premium refueling charges (often €2-3/liter vs. €1.70-1.90 at stations). In Brindisi, fuel stations cluster along Via Appia and near the port; many close for riposo (1-4 PM) and Sundays. Highway service stations offer 24/7 fuel but charge higher prices.
Is the insurance offered at the rental counter worth it?
Check if your credit card offers primary rental car coverage abroad—many premium U.S. cards do. If not, consider the rental company's Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), but know it often excludes tires, windshield, and undercarriage damage. Third-party excess insurance from sites like Insurance4CarHire costs roughly $7-10/day and covers gaps in CDW. Italian roads can be narrow—windshield and tire coverage is wise in Puglia.
