NAP → Naples · head to head

AlibusorPrivate transfer to Sorrento?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Alibus reaches Napoli Centrale (Piazza Garibaldi), the old town, and the port at Molo Beverello and Piazza Municipio; the Private transfer to Sorrento does not. This goes to Sorrento, not Naples: the driver takes you to any address there.

The Alibus is quicker: 20 min against 1 h 30.

Alibus: 05:30–00:00. Private transfer to Sorrento: Runs all night.

It does not go into the old town. The stops are Piazza Garibaldi, Porta di Massa and Molo Beverello, in that order; for Toledo, the Spanish Quarter or Spaccanapoli you change to Metro Line 1 at Garibaldi, which the EUR 5 integrated ticket covers.

Four of you pay EUR 20 and five pay EUR 25; the fixed taxi fare to the station is EUR 21 and EUR 26. From six people the taxi is cheaper.

ANM's own page says 15 minutes to the station and 35 to the port; ANM's own timetable schedules 18 to 23 and 40 to 50 by day. Plan on the timetable.

If ANM's luggage rule is applied on this bus, a large suitcase needs a second EUR 5 ticket, and with a bag each the taxi wins from three people. The Alibus page does not say either way.

Last bus from the airport is at midnight. The airport itself is closed 22:30 to 03:30 except for delayed flights.

Validate the ticket as you board and keep it; the ordinary EUR 1.30 ticket and every pass are invalid on this bus.
