Self-Drive services, more commonly known as car hire services is a service industry that has bloomed over the years to establish itself as one of the most convenient services offered today. Say, for instance, that you are in foreign country and would like to get around by personal means, or take, for example, that you are within your home town, without a car and then the need arises to travel outside the city; what to do? This dilemma has been resolved by the numerous car hire agencies in operation today.

In Brindisi Airport in Italy, many of the major players in the field of car rentals industry have offices based at the arrivals terminus. The benefit of these international agencies is that they have quite a number of locations both within and outside the country thus providing more pick up and return points. The major companies are also better established and have a wide range of variety to choose from; from economy class to luxury class car hires. By booking online, many of these offer handsome discount packages of even up to as much as 32%

The rules governing car hire are pretty much the same as in the rest of Italy; dictating that customers should be older than 21 years of age with younger customers of the age-group between 21-24 years attracting a higher car rental charge known as Young Drivers Fee. Driving around Brindisi, however, is a lovely experience with the roads being clearly marked and fellow road users are very pleasant.

The city of Brindisi has a spectacular dock with pillars over 200 years old marking the southern end of the Docks’ Appian Way. With a car, there is a lot of exciting driving- around to do. For starters, a drive up north will get you past the old American Air force Base with numerous US-style housing units.

You could also drive to Alberbello - a town lying 20 minutes away, and it would be worth your drive because Alberbello is the only location the world over with Trulli Houses. For the architecture enthusiast, this is a chance of a lifetime but even to the average person, these are worth your time. While here, also, make sure you visit La Citta Bianca – The White City. This little hill has all houses painted white, as a law, and when lit up at night this is quite a view to behold. Jump into your Car Hire rental one night and drive here to experience the beauty of the White City.
