Naples Airport to Sorrento: Taxi €125, Transfer or Bus

Sorrento is about 50 km from Naples Airport, roughly an hour by road on the motorway and then the coast road round the bay. The Comune di Napoli fixes the taxi fare for the trip at €125 per car, one way, plus motorway tolls.

Official taxi

Ask for the tariffa predeterminata for Sorrento before you set off. The fixed fare covers the car with luggage at any hour, including the airport supplement and night rates, and a minivan for five or more passengers adds €5. Trips outside Naples are optional for drivers, so at busy times a rank taxi may decline the run.

Pre-booked transfer

A private transfer booked in advance was quoted at €129 for a sedan (up to three passengers) and €153 for a minivan, for an afternoon arrival in late October. That is only a few euros more than the official taxi fare before motorway tolls, so the choice comes down to certainty: a confirmed car, a driver who tracks your flight, and a drop-off at your hotel door.

Bus, train and ferry

The Curreri bus leaves from the airport's tourist coach car park for Sorrento railway station eight times a day, from 09:00 to 19:30, and takes about 75 minutes with a stop at Pompeii; tickets cost €13 and can be booked online. The Circumvesuviana train from Napoli Garibaldi is the cheapest route but gets crowded and has little room for luggage, and EAV suspends its Campania Express tourist train from 1 October 2026. NLG ferries sail daily from Molo Beverello to Sorrento for €18.50 one way; the Alibus takes you from the airport to the port for €5.

Which should you choose?

Travelling light, take the Curreri bus: at €13 a person it starts at the airport and needs no change. With luggage or children, the official taxi at €125 plus tolls and a pre-booked transfer at €129 cost about the same, so the transfer is the safer choice: the car is confirmed before you land, which matters after the last Curreri bus at 19:30 or when a rank driver declines the run.
