Locauto’s Bari car rental office is in close proximity with the railway station and is open every day, Sunday included.
The vehicle can be returned to the Saba Guadagni parking lot located at Via Dieta di Bari 18/c, approximately 500 meters from the rental office.
After filling up the tank of your rental car, return it to Locauto’s office at Bari railway station at the appointed time and date. Upon the payment of a small extra you can choose to return your vehicle to a different Locauto office of your choice.
The starting point of your journey in Bari can only be Bari Vecchia, the historic district of the city characterized by medieval alleys and picturesque whitewashed houses constantly illuminated by sunlight. As you stroll through the streets of the center, perhaps stopping here and there to taste local delicacies such as orecchiette and Bari-style focaccia, your gaze will linger on the many architectural structures, especially religious ones, that make the city a true open-air museum.
One of the main ones is the Basilica of San Nicola, a medieval church and important pilgrimage destination, as it houses the relics of the saint it is named after, characterized by two towers that frame its imposing façade. The Cathedral of San Sabino, on the other hand, stands out for its Apulian Romanesque style, dominated by the color white and featuring a large rose window adorned with mythical figures and animals.
Another famous site is the Castello Svevo or Norman Castle, dating back to the 12th century but completely renovated in the 17th century when the Aragon family transformed it into the imposing fortress it is today. As regards museums, one of the most interesting in Bari is the Diocesan Museum, which hosts, among other things, a fascinating collection of medieval miniated manuscripts. Alongside this, if you wish to deepen your knowledge of Apulian art, we also recommend a visit to the Corrado Giaquinto Art Gallery.
A slightly different but equally engaging experience is Underground Bari: an archaeological journey where you will delve into the city's underground tunnels and discover fascinating anecdotes about it. Emerging again from the city's depths, you may enjoy a walk along Bari seafront promenade, the best place to make new acquaintances or simply breathe in the scent of the sea air!
Apulia is a region rich in attractions and for this reason, especially if you have only a few days available, it is necessary to make a choice by isolating an area or some points of interest to explore. Additionally, renting a car in Bari or one of the main cities in Apulia is objectively the only way to undertake such a journey with peace of mind given the difficulties of getting around using public transport: just consider that it only takes an hour to drive from Bari to Alberobello, famous for its trulli, the ancient circular stone houses, while public transport takes twice as long.
Among the attractions reachable by car from Bari are many historic villages, such as Putignano (a 40-minute drive), famous especially for its Carnival but also for its caves, where we recommend you organizing an excursion. If you seek a good combination of sea and city, then you must visit Molfetta, a gem of architecture mixing elements from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and built on the island of Sant'Andrea. An experience we recommend if you can rent a car in Bari is to have lunch or dinner at a masseria, the best place to experience the authentic flavors of Apulian tradition.
Renting a car in Bari is also a way to easily explore all the most beautiful beaches in northern Apulia, such as Polignano a Mare, famous for its spectacular cliffs and crystal-clear sea. Another beach to visit is Cala Paura, a charming cove with clear waters and a picturesque atmosphere.
