Request the fixed fare before departure and check the meter shows "F0.00"; the driver must issue a receipt first.

From six people this beats the Alibus to the port: EUR 29.00 in a larger taxi against EUR 30.00 in tickets, and it takes you to the pier rather than the bus stop.

No authority publishes a taxi journey time. The figure here is scaled from the Alibus's scheduled 40 to 50 minutes to the port, which stops twice on the way; the taxi does not.

The old town is a cheaper zone. If you are staying in the centro storico rather than by the port, the EUR 21.00 fare applies.

Cheaper than Curreri's direct coach (EUR 9.60 against EUR 13.00) but slower once the change is counted, and on two tickets from two operators.

The Circumvesuviana calls at Pompei Scavi Villa dei Misteri on the way, useful for the ruins without a separate ticket.

Campania Express, EAV's faster air-conditioned train on the same line, normally costs EUR 15.00 one way with a reserved seat, but EAV has suspended it from 1 October 2026 until further notice — check before you plan around it.
