The ZTL at Polignano a Mare is the clifftop historic centre, restricted continuously since 2015 and marked by the map on this page — and what decides entry is authorisation, not your engine, so a Euro 6 hire car is stopped on the same terms as a fifteen-year-old diesel. Residents, businesses, permit holders and hotel guests whose plate has been registered may pass; anyone else is photographed and fined EUR 83–332, with a 30% discount if it is paid within 5 days.
Your case: A camera at the gate cannot tell a lost visitor from a resident, so this one is settled before you arrive — send the hotel your plate when you book rather than mentioning it at check-in. If the same Puglian trip carries on to other old towns, look each one up in the emission zone checker: they are not all permit-based, and some do read your Euro class at the line.
