Piazza Garibaldi (Napoli Centrale), then Porta di Massa and Molo Beverello inside the port
Luggage
The Alibus page states no luggage rule. ANM's general bus regulation carries one hand bag free and requires an extra ticket for large suitcases; whether that is applied on the Alibus is not stated.

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.

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.
