Anywhere Campers BrindisiBrindisiView map
Hiring a campervan in Brindisi means setting off from the heel of the Italian boot, from the port where the Via Appia once ended. Lecce and its Baroque façades are some forty kilometres away, then the Salento peninsula lines up rocky coves and sandy beaches all the way to Santa Maria di Leuca, between the Adriatic and the Ionian Sea. Further north-west, the trulli of the Itria Valley and the Sassi of Matera round off the trip. 2 partner companies, McRent and Anywhere Campers, offer campervans and motorhomes here.
Salento Airport is on the city's doorstep and the port serves Greece: a handy start for combining Apulia with the other side of the Adriatic.

Road trip ideas
Road trips from Brindisi
1 A tour of the Salento, from Otranto to Gallipoli
- Brindisi
- Lecce
- Otranto
- Castro
- Santa Maria di Leuca
- Gallipoli
- Porto Cesareo
- Brindisi
After Baroque Lecce, the Adriatic coast runs down to Otranto, with its cathedral's medieval mosaic and its Aragonese castle, then turns into cliffs: Porto Badisco, Castro and the Ciolo bridge lead to Santa Maria di Leuca, where the two seas meet. You head back up along the Ionian beaches to Gallipoli, an old town on an island, and Porto Cesareo. The coastal road between Otranto and Leuca is narrow and winding: a campervan copes better.
- Distance
- about 300 km
- Recommended vehicle
- Campervan or camper van
2 Torre Guaceto, Ostuni and the Itria Valley
- Brindisi
- Torre Guaceto
- Ostuni
- Cisternino
- Locorotondo
- Alberobello
- Martina Franca
- Brindisi
North of Brindisi, the Torre Guaceto reserve protects dunes and clear waters before the climb to Ostuni, the “white city” perched above age-old olive trees. The Itria Valley then strings together Cisternino and its butcher-grills, Locorotondo and its circular old town, the UNESCO-listed trulli of Alberobello, and Martina Franca. The lanes of these villages are too narrow for a motorhome: park on the outskirts and finish on foot.
- Distance
- about 180 km
- Recommended vehicle
- Campervan or low-profile motorhome
3 The Gulf of Taranto and Matera to Bari
- Brindisi
- Grottaglie
- Taranto
- Metaponto
- Matera
- Altamura
- Bari
Head west along the old Via Appia: Grottaglie and its potters' quarter, then Taranto and its archaeological museum, rich in Greek gold jewellery. Along the Ionian Sea, the columns of the Tavole Palatine mark Metaponto before the climb to Matera, whose Sassi carved into the rock are visited on foot from the upper town. The trip ends in Bari, another departure city of our partners, after a stop in Altamura for its renowned bread.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Brindisi?
Best time
April to June, then September and October
April to June, September to October
highs 19 to 29 °C, lows 11 to 20 °C
The best months to leave from Brindisi: in spring, poppies bloom between the olive groves and the Salento beaches are almost empty; in September and October, the heat is still summery and the negroamaro and primitivo vines are harvested. October does bring the first showers, though, with about 67 mm of rain in the month.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 31 °C, lows 22 to 23 °C
Peak season, with almost no rain: Italian holidaymakers flood the coast around 15 August, Gallipoli and Porto Cesareo are fully booked and campsites fill up early. At the end of August, the Notte della Taranta sets Melpignano dancing to the pizzica. An air-conditioned cab and early-morning drives make the heat easier to bear.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 13 to 18 °C, lows 7 to 12 °C
A mild but wetter winter: November is the rainiest month, with about 106 mm of rain. It is the season of the olive harvest and of new oil in the Salento mills. Many coastal campsites close: favour Lecce and the Itria Valley, lively all year round, and a heated vehicle for the cool nights.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Pick-up on the SS16 or in town
McRent hands over its vehicles at Italo Camper, 14/a SS16 Adriatica, on the outskirts of Brindisi; Anywhere Campers has its depot in Brindisi, at the address given in the confirmation. Salento Airport is only a few kilometres from the centre: a taxi is enough to reach the rental company, which you should tell your arrival time.
ZTL: historic centres under camera surveillance
Lecce, Ostuni, Otranto and Gallipoli reserve their historic centres for residents: these limited traffic zones (ZTL) are monitored by cameras, and every unauthorised entry means a fine, sent months later to the rental company, which passes it on to you with handling fees. Look out for the “Zona a traffico limitato” sign and park before it.
Toll-free expressways
Brindisi is not connected to any motorway: the SS16 to Bari, the expressway to Lecce and the SS7 to Taranto are free. Tolls only start with the A14, joined near Bari to head up the Adriatic coast, or to reach Naples via the A16. South of Lecce, the network turns into slow provincial roads, best driven without hurry.
Overnight stays: highway code and local bylaws
In Italy, a motorhome may park overnight wherever a car is allowed, provided nothing is set up outside: no stabiliser legs, no awning, no tables. But many municipalities on the Salento coast ban it in summer by local order, with signs to match. Aree di sosta, often equipped for water and waste disposal, and agriturismi offer peaceful nights.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Brindisi
What vehicles can I hire in Brindisi?
The offers found range from Compact, Comfort and Family campervans, sleeping 2 to 5, to Adria Matrix M670SL and Carado T-447 motorhomes, with manual or automatic gearbox, up to the Sunlight A70 with 6 seats and 6 berths for large families. On the Salento's coastal roads, a compact model is easier to park; a low-profile motorhome offers more comfort for a long stay.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Brindisi?
Our searches in October 2026 for 15-day rentals found prices from €81 per day, mandatory fees included, for a campervan departing in January. In spring, expect from €135 for a campervan and from €131 for a low-profile motorhome. Two rental companies were compared across 76 offers: run a search with your dates to see bookable prices.
Can I take the ferry to Greece with a campervan hired in Brindisi?
The port of Brindisi has sailings to Igoumenitsa, Corfu and Patras, depending on the shipping line and the season. Taking a rental vehicle on board requires the rental company's written consent and insurance valid in Greece, sometimes for an extra fee. Check the countries allowed in the offer conditions before booking the crossing, and keep that consent on board in case of checks.
Can I return the campervan in Bari or Naples?
Bari, about 115 km away on the SS16, and Naples, on the other side of the peninsula, are also departure cities of our partners. Enter one of them as your return city when searching: available one-way offers are displayed with their fees already included. A trip to Naples crosses Basilicata and lets you end the journey in Campania.

The person answered my questions before I confirmed the booking. The van matched my order well with extras. During my trip, I had a little issue that had nothing to do with Cooldrive. I appreciated that the person took the time to call me back. No bad surprises, only good ones. Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Brindisi
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Italy?
A European category B licence is enough for campervans and motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes, the category of most rental vehicles. A licence issued outside the European Union should in principle be accompanied by an international driving permit in Italy. The minimum age and years of driving required by each rental company are shown in the offer conditions.
Is mileage unlimited?
Yes, for all the offers found in Brindisi in October 2026: a tour of the Salento followed by a trip to Matera therefore costs nothing extra in distance. As conditions can vary depending on the rental company and the length of hire, check them on the chosen offer before booking, especially for a one-way trip.
What excess should I expect in case of damage?
The median excess of the offers found is €1,700: this is the amount you remain liable for in the event of a claim. Excess reduction options offered by the rental companies can lower it, a useful protection between the dry-stone walls and narrow lanes of the Salento. Deposit terms are detailed in the conditions of each offer.
When should I book a campervan in Apulia?
For July and August, book several months ahead, at the same time as the crossing to Greece if you plan one. In spring and autumn, a few weeks is often enough. With two rental companies in Brindisi, campervans go quickly in summer: nearby Bari offers a fallback option.
Until when can I swim in the Salento?
The sea reaches 26 °C in September and still 22 °C in October: swimming remains pleasant until late autumn. In spring it is cooler, around 19 °C in May and 23 °C in June. In November, with water at 19 °C, only sheltered coves still tempt the bravest swimmers.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Brindisi
Brindisi is the departure city closest to the Salento: you enter the peninsula as soon as you get the keys, without first driving down from Bari. In one week you can loop around the two seas, from Lecce to Gallipoli; in two, you can add the white villages of the Itria Valley and Matera, or even a crossing to the Greek islands with the rental company's consent.
McRent and Anywhere Campers cover every size, from two-berth campervans to six-seat motorhomes, with prices observed from €81 per day in October 2026. Bari, Naples, Salerno and Catanzaro, other departure cities of our partners, open the way to one-way trips across southern Italy. And with a pleasant climate from April to October and a mild winter, Brindisi suits motorhome travel well beyond the summer.
