Positano is roughly 270 km from central Rome and about 295 km from Fiumicino Airport. By car that is 3 hours 15 minutes to 3 hours 45 minutes, most of it on the A1 motorway to Naples and the last stretch on the winding coast road. A private transfer is the only way to do it without changing.
Is there a high-speed train from Rome to Positano?
No. Positano has no railway. The fast train takes you from Rome to Naples or Salerno, and from there you continue by bus, ferry (seasonal) or car, or by train to Sorrento and then the SITA bus along the coast. It works, but with luggage it means three or four changes.
Private transfer from Rome or Fiumicino to Positano
A driver picks you up at your Rome hotel or in arrivals at Fiumicino and takes you to Positano in one go; on such a long drive, ask about a stop on the way, such as Pompeii. The price is per vehicle, which makes it far more reasonable for a family or a group: a live Welcome Pickups quote on 11 November 2026 gave €594 from Fiumicino to central Positano (one passenger, pickup on 25 November). check the Rome to Positano transfer price for your date.
Positano to Rome or Fiumicino Airport
Going back for a flight, book the ride from Positano as its own transfer and leave a wide margin: summer traffic on the coast road and around Naples can add an hour. Many hotels in Positano are up steep steps from the road, so tell the driver exactly where to meet you.
Flying into Naples instead? The Naples to Positano transfer is much shorter. For the town itself, see our Positano travel guide.
