Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Brindisi Airport (BDS) in Italy to Brindisi's old town and port, Lecce, Ostuni and the masserie of the countryside, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Brindisi Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Brindisi takes you from Casale to hotels and apartments in Brindisi's old town and to the port for your ferry, south to the baroque center of Lecce, and northwest to Ostuni and the masserie in the olive groves around it.
Brindisi airport transfers start in the ground-floor arrivals hall of the single terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign after baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price is fixed per vehicle and agreed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.
Each Brindisi airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or masseria in Brindisi, Lecce or Ostuni, or to the port for your ferry. Heading on to Otranto, Gallipoli or Santa Maria di Leuca? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.
Our Brindisi airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a coach that runs a few times a day or a bus that stops all over town. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and bikes, and suits families, groups and travelers bound for a masseria in the countryside.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Brindisi Airport (BDS), officially Aeroporto del Salento and also called Papola Casale, is on the northern edge of Brindisi, and Aeroporti di Puglia runs it. All flights use one terminal, with arrivals and baggage claim on the ground floor and security and the departure gates on the first floor.
Flights from Italy and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; from outside the Schengen area, including the UK, you line up at passport control. After baggage claim you walk through customs into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers. In summer the small terminal gets busy, so allow extra time at baggage claim.
Italy is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. It uses the euro.
Schengen entry. Italy is in the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers arriving from outside it are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), with fingerprints and a photo; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Brindisi or Bari. Puglia has two main airports. This page is for Brindisi (BDS); if your ticket shows BRI, book on our Bari Airport Transportation page instead.
Limited-traffic zones. The historic centers of Lecce, Ostuni and Brindisi are pedestrian or limited-traffic zones (ZTL), so give your full address; your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.
Euro and cash. Italy uses the euro. Cards are widely accepted, but carry some cash for small shops, cafés and the local tourist tax some towns charge at your accommodation.

We monitor the arrival of the flight on your reservation, but can't find you on a different one. Tell customer service if any of these change:
About one checked suitcase and one carry-on each; the right vehicle depends on the total volume. Tell us about golf clubs, surfboards, bikes, strollers or extra bags.
Request them when booking, with the child's age and size. Availability and any fee are confirmed on your reservation.
Give the wheelchair's size, weight and whether it folds, so a suitable vehicle is assigned.
