Whether it's business, family, or a group of friends, a private car with Daytrip offers an unmatchable service. You can cruise south in a private vehicle, and most importantly, Daytrip's service is per vehicle, so you can save money rather than buying 4 or 5 train tickets.

When is the best time to visit Sorrento?

Spring is the best time to visit European cities. You won't experience herds of tourists, yet you can still appreciate the famous beaches under the warm sun.

Is Sorrento worth visiting?

Sorrento is one of the most underrated cities in Europe. You'll uncover endless things to do, a mouthwatering food scene, and a Mediterranean climate. It's as beautiful as other cities along the Amalfi Coast but receives fewer visitors.

Can I get a ferry from Rome to Sorrento?

Unfortunately, there's no direct ferry from Rome to Sorrento. Alternatively, you can take a train to Naples and catch a ferry from Beverello Port that sails directly to Sorrento. Bear in mind that this only operates from June to October.

How long does it take to get from Rome to Sorrento by car?

Your drive should take about three hours and 20 minutes, but during the summer months, the highways are more crowded. Local private drivers know the best routes that your GPS may not know if you decide to drive yourself.

What is the quickest way to get from Rome to Sorrento?

Hiring a driver to take you directly to your accommodation in Sorrento is the fastest. There are no direct trains, and local trains can be quite slow when they stop at every station along the way. The direct drive is about 3 hours and 20 minutes, depending on the traffic.

What is the cheapest way to get from Rome to Sorrento?

A bus ride is the cheapest way to travel, but you do pay with your precious vacation time. If you choose to take the bus, be sure to check the allowed amount of luggage (for storage under the bus) carefully, just in case there are extra fees. Buy tickets at least a few weeks ahead of time for the best price.

How can I get from Rome to Sorrento?

You can take a direct bus, a string of high-speed and local trains, rent a car, or hire a private driver for this route. Each route has its advantages and disadvantages, so choose the best one for your trip.

Where should I go next after I travel from Rome to Sorrento?

Other popular destinations around the Amalfi Coast to spend your vacation are Ravello, Salerno, and Naples. Budget travelers can find great deals in the smaller towns along the coast, and they are less crowded than the larger cities.

What can I see along the way from Rome to Sorrento?

Pompeii and the Herculaneum Archaeological Area are easily the most popular destinations along the way. Frascati, the Pastena Caves, the Royal Palace of Caserta, and Mount Vesuvius are also recommended and easy to add to your Daytrip itinerary.

Amazing driver experience

“Our driver, Ibrahim, was wonderful. He drove us from Amman airport to Petra. Our flight was one hour early and he was already waiting for us when we got to the exit of the airport. He was helpful, professional and friendly. We would definitely love to have Ibrahim again and highly recommend him!”

Awesome experience! Highly recommend!

“So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.”

Touring through Tuscany

“We had the same driver for our 2 day trip in tuscany. I was able to develop my own itinerary so I could go where we wanted and see the things we wanted. Marco was fantastic!! He opened doors for us and made sure my mother was able to get in and out of the car easily. He had water in the car for us. He was early picking us up both days and brought us as close to the towns as he could. He told us which way to go to enter the cities and then sent me his location so we knew how to get back to him after traveling the streets. Im so happy I decided to get a driver to take us through Tuscany. It took all the worry and anxiety of driving through this region I had never been to and didnt know where to park. Money well spent!”

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.”

Daytrip is excellent

“We are 4 senior ladies and we used Daytrip to travel from Rome to Sorrento via Herculaneum with Roberto and back from Sorrento to Naples via Vesuvius with Antonio. For 4 of us with 4 rolling suitcases, 4 cabin luggage and assorted bags, daytrip proved an economical snd stress free way to get around, add to that excellent driving skills and very good english language skills, plus italian charm and we had a most enjoyable trip. We will definately use Daytrip again. Anne Denise”

First Class Transfer

“We used Daytrip to transfer my husband and I from Sorrento to Rome. We are so happy with the service. This is a very professional and reliable company. From the moment we booked the transfer the Daytrip staff were in touch with us confirming details. We made a change to our booking and again, they were back in contact with us straight away to confirm the changes. A few days before our transfer they emailed us again with details of our driver and confirmed pick up details. Our driver was a professional and friendly man who arrived on time in a very comfortable late model vehicle. He was an excellent driver and we felt very safe. He stopped along the way so we could have something to eat and freshen up. He pointed out points of interest along the way making it an interesting journey. It was over a 3 hour journey, but we arrived at our next hotel feeling refreshed. This transfer service is of course more expensive than a bus or train, but we decided we wanted a nice easy transfer from Sorrento to Rome, so decided to pay the extra money. Highly recommended”
