Driver from Napoli to Sorrento?

I know private drivers from Napoli to Sorrento have been recommended on Forum before, but since our train from Napoli to Sorrento has been canceled, I need help with an update.
Oct 5, 2026 from Naples hotel to Sorrento. Please post recommendations at a good rate. Also, we would be willing to do share ride.
Thank you.

It was the Campania Express that was canceled, starting Oct 1
Thank you for your help!

Hi - can you provide a link to a Circumvesuviana cancellation notice for Oct. 5, 2026? How were you informed?

I would just take the Circumvisuviana rather than drop €150 in a private driver. I think a lot of the pearl clutching about that line is silly.

MTE

A driver will be in the 150-200 euro range.
The Circumvesuviana is only a few euros.
Or consider a ferry from Naples to Sorrento.

topexcursionsorrento.com offers transfers
Aldo Limos is often mentioned here

Another good source is to just ask your hotel in either Naples or Sorrento for a recommendation

Personally I would just take the Circumvesuviana. But if you aren't willing to do that then there are frequent shuttle buses from the train station to the airport, and from the airport Curreri Viaggi runs buses to Sorrento. You can look at their timetable to see if it works for you.

Ah, so it's the Campania Express that's been cancelled. Good heads up as a fair amount of posters traveling Naples> Sorrento have opted for that method. Yes, I'd go with just taking the regular Circumvesuviana unless traveling from the airport, in which case I'd take the Curreri bus. https://www.curreriviaggi.it/en/naples-airport-shuttle.

For anyone else interested, here's the formal Express closure notice on the EAV website:

I hired a driver to take us from NAP to Sorrento last May.
The price was 99 euro, much lower than other companies were quoting.
