KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lecce
- You will find that in Lecce, car hire is almost essential; there is public transport, but to use it exclusively will take up valuable travel time and cause you to miss a lot of the little hidden gems that Italy has to offer if you are venturing in your own vehicle. Car hire in Lecce is no more difficult than driving anywhere else, as long as you familiarise yourself with the road rules/area and use common sense.
- Your travel into Lecce by air will take you through Brindisi Papola Casale Airport, also known as Salento Airport (BDS). Lecce car hire is made simple at Brindisi Airport; there are many hire car offices within the building, and signs will direct you easily. Ensure that you bring the confirmation of your booking, your driver’s licence and a credit card in your name. If you have another travelling companion that you want to nominate as your second driver, ensure they bring their driver’s licence as well.
- While Italy tends to have a reputation for being difficult to drive, particularly in cities, this is not really true. The basics are the same as anywhere, and driving in Lecce and other Italian cities can be compared to any other busy city. There are strict road rules and plenty of cameras, so be sure to follow them and keep an eye on your speed. As in any tourist area, do keep a close eye out for distracted tourists.
- The most challenging part of driving in Lecce may simply be it’s layout, as there is no real grid system and navigation can be tricky. It is definitely advised to have navigation assistance, whether it comes through your car hire in Lecce, your phone or good old paper maps. Learning a little basic Italian can help, as that lovely Italian culture will come with friendly locals happy to help, but they may struggle to understand English or an accent.
- Book your rental car in Lecce at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

What type of car is recommended for driving in Lecce?
Depending on how much use you want to make of your car hire in Lecce, a smaller compact vehicle may make you feel more comfortable in the city centre’s web of busy, bustling streets.

Either way, ensuring you have a navigation system will be helpful!
