About Rome Fiumicino Airport

The Rome Fiumicino airport is the busiest in Italy and considers itself the main hub of the Mediterranean area. Sometimes called the “Leonardo Da Vinci Aiport,” this Italian gateway has a plethora of artistic and cultural displays for visitors to happen upon during their travels. Collaborations with different cultural organizations have bolstered the airport’s efforts to create a “scattered museum” effect.

The airport aims to emulate sustainability and innovation in every area, from the flights themselves to the dining, shopping, and cultural experiences available in each terminal. The goal is to curate a welcoming environment for all travelers to highlight the airport’s service in connecting people all over.

From Positano to Rome Fiumicino Airport: travel tips

As you plan ahead for your Positano to Rome Fiumicino Airport transfer, there are a few things you can prepare for that will help you have the best journey possible.

Opt for a private transfer

Choosing a Daytrip private transfer can be a great option for many travelers, particularly for routes going to the airport, as you’ll have significantly more control over your itinerary and departure times than you would with public transit. Daytrip offers flexible booking options for peace of mind and enables you to schedule your ride well in advance, preventing any travel day stress.

The private driving transfer also offers the most comfortable transportation, as you’ll receive door-to-door service with a friendly driver who is ready to help you with your luggage and ensure your comfort and safety throughout the process.

Be mindful of airport arrival times

Whether you’re taking a direct transfer or choosing to stop and sightsee en route, when booking your trip, you should account for the standard recommendation of early arrival two-three hours before your flight departure. This will give you plenty of time to get through security, which is especially important given how busy Rome Fiumicino is year-round.

The airport website actually offers live monitoring of check-in times and estimated security wait times on its website, so you can stay informed before and during your travel day. The airport also offers a free “QPass” service that enables you to book a dedicated security appointment and save time at the airport.

Consider leaving time for sightseeing

While it is essential to arrive at the airport well ahead of your scheduled departure time, stopping along the way from Positano with your private driving transfer can be a great way to round out your time in Italy. You can choose to take a short stop to see fascinating sights such as Pompeii, allowing you to stretch your legs and elevate a simplistic travel day.

Train from Positano to Rome Fiumicino Airport

The journey takes around five hours and 45 minutes on average but can take much longer (up to 9 hours) along certain routes. The tickets are fairly affordable, however, at around $1-$10 (€0.92-€9).

Bus from Positano to Rome Fiumicino Airport

Train and Flight from Positano to Rome Fiumicino Airport

This option is not cheap, with tickets costing as much as $243 (€223) for the entire journey. Plus, it’s more hassle than it’s worth, considering the total time spent in transit will be around six hours once you factor in all of the transfers and the necessary arrival at the Naples airport a few hours before your flight.

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Excellent service

We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.
