Taxi vs private transfer
Brindisi Airport taxi: prices and the fixed-fare alternative
How airport taxis work, how predictable the fare really is, and what a pre-booked private transfer costs instead.
At Brindisi Airport taxis run on the meter: initial fare, cost per kilometre and supplements (night, holidays, luggage) mean you only know the total at the end of the ride. For a destination outside the city such as Lecce, Ostuni or Gallipoli, that makes budgeting hard.
A private transfer works differently: you pick the route, get a fixed price on WhatsApp, and the driver waits for you at arrivals with your name. No meter, no queue, no surprise supplements.
