300–400 meters from T1, PM keeps your car under a roof
PM is the multilevel long‑stay garage directly at Bari Karol Wojtyła (BRI) T1, sitting roughly 300–400 meters from the terminal doors, so you walk it in under 5–7 minutes at a normal pace. It’s the on‑airport option for drivers who care more about covered parking and proximity than chasing the lowest daily rate in the open‑air long‑stay lots further out.
This structure holds about 750 spaces spread across several levels, making it the largest covered car park on the airport grounds compared with the smaller surface lots around T1. Inside, you’ll also find 16 marked spaces reserved for disabled drivers, close to elevators, which helps if you’re dealing with mobility issues or heavy bags.
PM runs 24/7 in line with Bari airport’s operating hours, so late Ryanair arrivals or early ITA departures through T1 are covered. You take a ticket at the entry barrier, park on any open floor, then pay at automatic machines near the pedestrian exits before driving out, which cuts exit time to roughly 2–3 minutes if you’ve already validated your ticket.
Pricing sits above the open long‑stay fields: expect to pay a premium per day for the structure and the short walk to T1, especially on summer weekends when Puglia tourism spikes. It still usually undercuts the cost of leaving a car for several days in the small on‑site short‑stay areas immediately opposite the terminal.
Practical tip: if you want one of the 16 disabled spaces or a bay close to the elevators, aim to arrive at least 90 minutes before departure on Fridays and Sundays when the 750 spaces fill fastest.
