Taxi, fixed fare to Stazione Centrale and the old townorAlibus and NLG hydrofoil to Capri?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Taxi, fixed fare to Stazione Centrale and the old town reaches Napoli Centrale (Piazza Garibaldi), the old town, and the port at Molo Beverello and Piazza Municipio; the Alibus and NLG hydrofoil to Capri does not. This goes on by hydrofoil to Capri, landing at Marina Grande below the town. It does not stop in Naples on the way.

The Taxi, fixed fare to Stazione Centrale and the old town is quicker: 20 min against 2 h.

Taxi, fixed fare to Stazione Centrale and the old town: Runs all night. Alibus and NLG hydrofoil to Capri: 08:35–17:40, Daily, 1 April to 3 November 2026.

Say "tariffa predeterminata" before the car moves. The driver must accept, give you a receipt with the route and amount before departure, and show "F0.00" on the meter. A running meter means the ordinary tariff, with a EUR 5.00 airport supplement and EUR 0.50 a bag on top.

Ask for a larger car if there are more than four of you. The tariff adds EUR 5.00 for a 7- to 9-seat taxi, which is EUR 26.00 for five to eight — still cheaper than six Alibus tickets, and a family of eight rides for EUR 3.25 each.

The fare is a zone, not an address list. Stazione Centrale, Piazza Garibaldi and the ZTL Centro Storico are EUR 21.00; the port and Piazza Municipio are EUR 24.00; the seafront hotels, Mergellina and Vomero are EUR 28.50. For anywhere else the meter runs.

No authority publishes a taxi journey time. The figure here is the Alibus's scheduled time over the same road; Naples traffic decides the rest.

A shared "taxi collettivo" at EUR 6.00 a head, luggage included, leaves from near the Viale Ruffo di Calabria roundabout once three passengers have gathered, for the station and the port. It is voluntary for drivers and has no fixed hours, so do not plan a late arrival around it.

It is the only option here that certainly runs all night, and the price does not change at night.

The Capri landing contribution of EUR 5.00 (April to October) is added to NLG's ticket price, so the EUR 23.00 and EUR 25.00 fares become EUR 28.00 and EUR 30.00.

A suitcase is not free on NLG: one piece up to 50x30x15 cm and 5 kg travels without charge, and larger luggage is checked in at EUR 5.00 a piece.

The Alibus stops at Porta di Massa first and Molo Beverello last. NLG's hydrofoils leave from Molo Beverello, so ride to the end.

NLG's timetable runs to 3 November 2026; check its site for a later date.

The slower ferries to Capri leave from Calata Porta di Massa, the Alibus stop before Beverello, and no fare for them is shown here.

NLG refunds the ticket if it cancels a sailing for technical reasons or sea conditions.
