Book your carPrivate car, train or bus to Sorrento?
There are three ways from Naples to Sorrento. Here is how they score on what matters when you arrive with luggage.
Private transfer
Door to door from arrivals or the station, no changes. Best for families, groups and anyone with suitcases: one price covers up to 7 people.
Circumvesuviana train
The local train from Naples (Garibaldi) to Sorrento. Cheap and frequent, but often crowded, with no luggage space, and it does not start at the airport.
Airport bus
A shuttle bus runs from Naples Airport to Sorrento. Good value for one or two people traveling light; it follows a timetable and stops in town, not at your hotel.

Arriving in Sorrento
Sorrento is spread along the cliffs above the Bay of Naples. Where the car stops depends on your address — tell us when booking.
Piazza Tasso & the old town
Parts of the centre are a limited traffic zone (ZTL) with pedestrian streets. We stop at the closest point a car can reach and help with your bags.
Sea-view hotels
Most large hotels along the cliffs have their own entrance and drop-off area: we take you straight to the door.
Marina Piccola
The ferry port for Capri, Naples and, in season, the Amalfi Coast. Share your ferry time and we plan the pick-up with a margin.
Sant'Agnello, Piano, Massa Lubrense
We also drive to the towns around Sorrento and to villas on the peninsula: ask for the price when you book.
From Naples Airport to the Capri ferry
Many guests land in Naples and continue to Capri from Sorrento. We drive you straight to Marina Piccola in time for your ferry, with your luggage. Tell us the ferry time and we plan the pick-up; if your flight is late, we adjust.
Book to Sorrento portNaples to Sorrento by car: route, timing and tips
Sorrento sits at the start of the Sorrento peninsula, facing Vesuvius across the Bay of Naples. It is one of the most popular bases in southern Italy: close to Capri, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, with hotels for every budget and a lively centre.
The route
From Naples Airport or Napoli Centrale, the driver takes the A3 motorway south past Vesuvius and Pompeii to Castellammare di Stabia. From there, the coast road follows the Bay of Naples through Vico Equense to Sorrento, with sea views for the last part of the drive.
How long it takes
On a normal day the transfer takes 1 to 1.5 hours. On summer weekends, holidays and at rush hour around Naples, allow up to 2 hours. For an early flight home, we suggest a pick-up time with a comfortable margin when you book your return.
Where we meet you in Naples
At Naples Airport your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign; at Napoli Centrale, outside platform 24. For hotels and apartments in Naples, the driver contacts you on WhatsApp a few minutes before arriving. We monitor your flight or train and adjust if you are late.
A stop in Pompeii on the way
Pompeii is right on the route, about halfway between Naples and Sorrento. A 2-hour visit, plus 30 minutes free, can be added for €120 per vehicle (€60 per extra hour), a popular way to use arrival day; entrance tickets and guides are not included.
