During the peak summer season, AVIS showed no available cars for rent, but we managed to find one here, which wasn’t easy.
Before leaving Milan Airport, we contacted the rental company, and they said they would send a car to pick us up and take us to the rental point, saving us the hassle of dragging our big bags there ourselves.
At the pickup point, we discovered that AUTOONE and SURPRICE were operating together. When we later received the confirmation email, it was under AUTOONE’s header, so I guess they are sister companies.
There were two staff members handling the procedures on-site. We waited about ten minutes before it was our turn to process the rental. After adding full insurance and paying for cross-border driving at the counter, we received a car slightly larger than the one we had reserved—a white SEAT Arona. The whole pickup process took about ten minutes. (Unfortunately, the later survey options didn’t allow us to select the actual car we got.)
For the return, since we had full insurance, as long as the tank was full, they quickly verified the vehicle and completed the return process.
During the busy summer season, AVIS showed no cars available, but we managed to find one here, which wasn’t easy. Before leaving Milan Airport, we contacted the rental company by phone, and they kindly sent a car to pick us up and take us to the rental location, saving us the trouble of carrying our luggage ourselves. Once we arrived, we found that AUTOONE and SURPRICE shared the same location. Later, when we received a confirmation email, it was under AUTOONE’s name, so they’re probably sister companies. There were two staff members processing rentals on site, and we only waited about ten minutes before it was our turn. After confirming the addition of full insurance and cross-border usage fees at the counter, we were given a car slightly larger than the one we had booked. It was a white SEAT Arona. The entire process took about ten minutes. (Unfortunately, in the later selection options, we couldn’t choose the actual car model we received.) When returning the car, we had full insurance, so as long as the fuel tank was full, they quickly checked and completed the return process.
Before picking up the car, you can contact them via WhatsApp. They will send pictures to guide you to the shuttle bus location at Bari Airport. Upon arrival, the customer service is very good. They also offer to upgrade to full insurance on-site. I spent around 250 euros for four days. It's not cheap, but in Europe, it's better to pay for peace of mind.
