Naples International Airport (NAP, Capodichino) sits about 7 km northeast of the city centre, so the run into town is short. For most visitors, though, Naples is the gateway rather than the destination: the airport is the closest one to Sorrento, Positano, the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii, and that is where a booked transfer saves the most hassle.

Private transfers from Naples Airport
Naples traffic is famously chaotic and the historic centre is a tangle of narrow, partly pedestrian streets. A driver who knows how close he can get to your door is worth a lot at the end of a flight, and even more if your hotel is on the coast. The driver meets you in arrivals, tracks your flight, and the fixed price is per vehicle. You can book a Naples Airport transfer with Welcome Pickups before you travel.
Taxi or Uber from Naples Airport?
Licensed white taxis wait outside arrivals and offer fixed fares on set routes; agree the fare before you get in and use only the official rank. App-based rides are not something to count on here, so check the app before you rely on it. For the coast, a pre-booked transfer is the simplest option.
