Naples airport to the Amalfi Coast — the four real options
Private transfer, Curreri bus, train + ferry, or rental car. Each one wins in a specific scenario.
The four options compared
Private transfer (€140 to Sorrento, €180 to Amalfi, €220 to Positano): best with 3+ people, late arrival, lots of luggage. Door-to-door, 70–90 minutes.
Curreri Viaggi bus to Sorrento (€10, 75 min, every 75 minutes from arrivals): cheapest by far, no luggage limit, but ends at Sorrento — you'll need another bus or boat from there.
Alibus to Naples port + ferry to Sorrento or Positano (€19 total, 2 hours): scenic, summer only.
Rental car: only if you want to drive the coast yourself, otherwise it becomes a parking problem.
