Amalfi Airport Transfers

Amalfi is a small town and does not have its own airport. In order to visit this tropical paradise most tourists land at the international airport of Capodichino. This way you can arrive in time to enjoy all the best things to do in Amalfi.

You should keep in mind that the transfer time between the airport and the center of Amalfi is approximately 15 minutes by road. You can choose from different transfer options the one that best suits your needs and budget. Some of them will even allow you to move freely around Amalfi during your stay.

For some people, the most recommended option is a private transfer service to or from the airport in Amalfi. This is because it is an exclusive and very comfortable option, especially if you are traveling with children or seniors. The trip in this type of transfer lasts approximately one hour.

In order to enjoy this type of service you must book your transfer in advance. Generally this should be done at least 24 hours before your arrival. In addition, companies usually guarantee punctuality and the resolution of last minute problems. For example, if your designated driver cannot show up on time, the company will find another driver who is available. This way you will always be safe.

If you are traveling to Amalfi for more than five days, you will probably be carrying a lot of luggage. With a private transfer you will also be counting on your driver to help you get your belongings in and out of the car. Transfer companies generally make sure they have a staff that offers good customer service.

Another important aspect to note is that private transfer companies have different models of cars. You can choose the size, brand and color that you like the most. This way the vehicle will be adapted to your requirements and needs.

To get from the international airport of Capodichino to the center of Amalfi by public transport you should be prepared for a somewhat long journey. You need to take two buses and the train. If you plan everything in advance you can arrive on time to your destination. I suggest this option if you are traveling light.

The first thing you should do before traveling is to buy your ticket for the Alibus bus. This shuttle will take you from the airport to the Naples Garibaldi stop in just five minutes. Please note that these buses run approximately every 20 minutes.

From there it is only a two minute walk to the Trenitalia Napoli Centrale station. From there the trip will take an average of 40 minutes to reach the Salerno station. When you get here your trip is not over yet.

One minute from the train station you will find the Casa bus stop, where you will wait for bus 5120 of the SITA SUD company. From there you will travel for about an hour to the bus stop Piazza Municipio (Amalfi), you have finally arrived in Amalfi!

Taking a cab is usually the most common option when you have not made any kind of transfer reservation. For safer travel I recommend requesting the service from an airport cab line. This way you will have the guarantee that you are working with a recognized company.

Another cab line I can recommend is TaxiLeader, with whom you can make reservations online 24 hours a day. However, I recommend you to book in advance so you can get the car with the characteristics you need. The cost of this service can vary, but generally the minimum you will have to pay is 40 €.

If you want to be more sure of the quality of service you will receive, you can always read the online reviews of the cab line. There you can check if the drivers are punctual and offer help with your luggage. Having a company like this on hand can help you get back to your hotel when you go on a tour in Amalfi that does not include a return transfer.

Uber is one of the most used transportation apps around the world. The best thing about it is that you can use it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All you have to do is download the app on your smartphone, and that's it! Even within the app you can see the reviews of each driver and choose more safely.

The Uber app also allows you to choose the type of car you want. So you can request one with enough capacity for three or more people. You can also ask that it has enough space for your luggage in case it is bulky. All this you can do from your phone without making calls.

Although Uber is an app that generally gets you out of trouble, it also allows the option to make reservations. This can be very useful if you want a little extra security to get you to or from the airport. I also recommend it if you are traveling in high season, as many tourists resort to this app and it can get saturated.

If you plan to travel around Amalfi at night, Uber can be your ally. Late at night or early in the morning, public transportation does not work at its highest capacity. That's why I suggest you use Uber when you need to return to your hotel at night, so you will always arrive safe and sound at your destination!

Especially if you plan to do tours from Amalfi, a rented car can give you more freedom. This way you will not have to depend on the schedules and delays of public transportation.

One of the companies I recommend you to hire is Amalfi Rent Point. Thanks to them you can get a variety of cars of all sizes and brands. You can choose the one that best suits your needs. Depending on the characteristics you choose, the price will be higher or lower. This rental can be for hours or days.

Besides cars, you will also find bicycles for rent. This can help you to make short rides around town. If you like to ride and you know how to drive, you can rent a bike to ride around town in the evenings. You could even visit the best beaches of Amalfi while getting the sea air in your face.

However, you should keep in mind that this method is seasonal and is only available between June and October. In addition, from the airport you must take another means of transport to reach the port indicated by the company you hire.
