The city and its restrictions
Naples has two camera-controlled zones worth knowing about before you book:
- ZTL Centro Antico, the old town. Most entry points are closed every day from 9:00 to 17:00.
- ZTL Chiaia, covering Via Belledonne, Piazza dei Martiri and Via Poerio. Closed every night from 19:00 to 07:00.
A car whose driver holds a licence from another city needs a temporary permit for these zones. So put your hotel's name and address in the booking from the start.
Napoli Centrale station
The station opens onto Piazza Garibaldi. Cars with drivers meet passengers in the FS Park P5 car park on the square. The first 15 minutes there are free, and it's open from 05:00 to 01:00.
The taxi rank in front of the station is being rebuilt, so don't count on the square by the entrance. The driver will confirm the exact spot before you meet.
The port: islands and cruises
Boats to Capri, Ischia and Procida leave Naples from two different places, and it pays not to mix them up.
- Molo Beverello handles only hydrofoils and catamarans.
- Calata Porta di Massa is for car ferries. A free shuttle runs there from Beverello.
Access to Beverello is limited because of building works: only a handful of taxis and chauffeur cars can stand at the quay at any one time. If there's no room, the driver stops at the nearest permitted point and helps carry your bags to the pier.
We time the pick-up from your boat's departure, with a margin.
Cruise ships berth at the Stazione Marittima on Molo Angioino, opposite Piazza Municipio. Rides from there along the coast cost the same as from the city.
To the Amalfi Coast
The SS163 is narrow and winds high above the sea. Our drivers use it every day, know the passing places, and in summer they plan departures so as not to get stuck behind the buses.
Large minivans are restricted on the narrowest stretches, so we choose the car to suit the road as well as your luggage.
You can book a driver for the whole day and take in Positano, Amalfi and Ravello in one go, with stops for photos. A full day starts at €480.
Pompeii, Herculaneum, Caserta
Pompeii is 25 km away, about 35 minutes. Most people make it a stop on the way to Sorrento or Positano: 2 hours there adds from €40. Your suitcases stay in the car, and the driver waits by the entrance.
For a whole day of archaeology, taking in Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvius, a driver for the day costs from €480.
The Royal Palace of Caserta is 35 km away, about 40 minutes, €80 in a saloon.
Fares from Naples
Tap a row to book this route.
That's the full price, with motorway tolls and luggage already included. A child seat is free. If you book the return journey at the same time, it's 10% cheaper.
Dates that affect the roads
In summer 2027 Naples hosts the America's Cup sailing regatta:
- Youth America's Cup: 2–6 June;
- Women's America's Cup: 5–9 July;
- the Match itself: from 10 July.
Expect crowds and road closures along the seafront, so book cars for those weeks well ahead.
Questions
How much does it cost to get from Naples to Positano?
€120 in a saloon for up to 3 people and €160 in a minivan. The drive takes about 1 h 20 min.
Which quay does the car ferry to Ischia leave from?
Calata Porta di Massa. Only hydrofoils and catamarans leave from Beverello.
Can I book a car from Amalfi back to Naples?
Yes, the driver will collect you from your hotel on the coast. The booking form shows the price. If you book the outward and return trips together, the return leg is 10% cheaper.
Can a car reach a hotel on Piazza dei Martiri in the evening?
That's the Chiaia ZTL, closed from 19:00 to 07:00. A driver from another city needs a temporary permit, so we need your hotel's address in advance.
