The roads around the Amalfi Coast can be busy, especially in summer. For a smoother experience, consider departing at an off-peak time such as early morning or late afternoon.
To ensure your comfort in the hot Mediterranean climate, make sure to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate clothing.

Deciding how to get from Naples to Sorrento will shape your travel experience. While many transport options are available, a private transfer stands out as the best option offering the most comfort, convenience, and customizability.
The distance from Naples to Sorrento is 30 miles (49 km) and takes around 1 hour and 10 minutes by car but can vary depending on traffic. While offering flexibility, driving a rental car around this area can be challenging with busy, winding, narrow roads to navigate alongside limited and expensive parking.
Trains depart regularly from Naples to Sorrento and take approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. While economical, this option can be inconvenient if you have lots of luggage.
Buses also run regularly from Naples to Sorrento, taking around 1 hour and 30 minutes and can cost as little as 5 EUR. While budget-friendly, in summer they can be crowded and they offer less flexibility than a private car service. If you’re going to Sorrento from Naples airport, there’s also a bus from the airport parking lot.
Alternatively, a private car transfer with Daytrip offers a convenient door-to-door service. You will be picked up at your desired location in Naples, such as the airport or train station, and dropped off at your Sorrento accommodation ensuring no luggage handling.
Daytrip offers possibilities for customization, allowing you to tailor your trip to suit your needs. You can select your vehicle type ensuring you travel in comfort, from sedan, MPV, van, and luxury sedan. You can also choose your desired pick-up time, rather than starting your trip when the bus or train departs.
You can further customize your trip with sightseeing stops along the way, turning your taxi transfer into a journey of discovery across the Amalfi Coast complimented by your friendly local driver who will share regional facts along the way.
Overall, a private car service from Naples to Sorrento is the best transportation option, offering flexibility and comfort with door-to-door service and customization possibilities.
