Top 7 airport-transfer services for Sorrento in 2026
Curreri Viaggi's direct coach from Naples Capodichino (NAP) to Sorrento is our top pick for most arrivals in 2026. A fixed fare of roughly €10 to €15 beats private drivers on price, you skip the connection at Napoli Centrale that the Circumvesuviana requires, and no surge pricing comes into play. Private transfers like Welcome Pickups rank second.
We scored every option on the same three factors: reliability on the 50 km run from Naples Capodichino (NAP) along the SS145 Sorrentina coast road, price, and whether a driver or desk agent speaks English. Points came off for surge or negotiated fares and for any record of drivers failing to show up. Curreri Viaggi came out ahead because its fare stays the same at 11pm in August and at noon in March, and it drops you in Sorrento near Piazza Angelo Lauro, about a 5-minute walk from Piazza Tasso. Private firms scored higher on language support but lost points on price. A pre-booked car for two people usually costs somewhere around €100 to €130, which is roughly $112 to $146.
The most common mistake is taking the Circumvesuviana with full luggage in July: you ride the Alibus to Napoli Garibaldi, then the Napoli to Sorrento line makes about 34 stops over 70 minutes, often with no seats left by Ercolano Scavi, and Wikivoyage warns about pickpockets on that train. The second mistake is getting into an unmetered car outside arrivals at NAP without agreeing a price first, since Naples' fixed taxi fares cover the city alone and a trip to Sorrento is quoted at whatever the driver chooses. The third is arriving at Molo Beverello after the last hydrofoil to Marina Piccola has gone, which happens early in the evening outside summer.
Curreri is not the right pick for every traveller. If your hotel is up on Capo di Sorrento or above Marina Grande, the coach drops you a steep 20-minute walk from your door, and the last departures from NAP leave late arrivals stuck, so check the timetable against your flight. Families with car seats, or anyone heading on to Positano or the Amalfi side, should book a private transfer. Since Salerno Costa d'Amalfi airport (QSR) reopened to passenger flights in 2024, some travellers might find that a driver from Salerno makes more sense, especially if they are staying in Sant'Agnello and plan to see Pompeii first.
The full list
-
Curreri Viaggi airport coach (NAP to Sorrento)
A direct coach runs from outside the NAP arrivals hall to Sorrento at a fixed fare, stopping at Meta and Sant'Agnello along the way, and it drops you close to Piazza Angelo Lauro, which puts hotels on Corso Italia within easy reach on foot. There are no surge fares, but the last evening departure can leave late flights stranded.
-
Welcome Pickups
You pre-pay a fixed price, and an English-speaking driver meets you in the NAP arrivals hall with a name sign and tracks your flight if it lands late. It is the right choice for hotels on Capo di Sorrento or up Via del Capo, where the coach drops you at the bottom of a long uphill walk.
-
Kiwitaxi
You book a fixed-price car or minivan from NAP or from Salerno's QSR airport to any address in Sorrento, including the lanes above Marina Grande, and the waiting time is included, making it a practical choice for families with car seats or groups of 4 to 7 travelling with suitcases.
-
Blacklane
This is a premium fixed-fare chauffeur service with 60 minutes of free waiting time at NAP: drivers often speak English, and it is a reliable choice for late arrivals heading to clifftop hotels along Via Correale. It is priced well above the coach.
-
Alibus plus Circumvesuviana Napoli-Sorrento line
This is the cheapest route: take the Alibus from NAP to Napoli Garibaldi, then the EAV Circumvesuviana to Sorrento station by Piazza Lauro. It is crowded and slow, at about 70 minutes on the train alone, so it suits travellers carrying light bags.
-
Campania Express (EAV tourist train)
This seasonal train runs on the Circumvesuviana tracks from Napoli Garibaldi to Sorrento, stopping only at Ercolano and Pompei Scavi, and it guarantees seats with more space for luggage than the regular train. It does not run in winter.
-
Alibus plus hydrofoil from Molo Beverello
You take the Alibus to Molo Beverello, near Castel dell'Ovo, then the NLG or Alilauro hydrofoil to Marina Piccola, which makes for a scenic arrival. The crossings depend on the weather, the last sailing leaves early, and once you dock you still need the lift or a bus up to Piazza Tasso.
