I'm almost embarrassed to ask this question, as I'm sure the answer is on this site, but I'm not coming up with much current info.
My husband really wants a car service from Naples airport to our Sorrento hotel, [as he doesn't want to use the public options.] I've emailed the hotel for their service, but I don't think they are open yet, so aren't responding. We will be in Sorrento the end of April. It may be just the two of us, [unless his son's family joins us.]
I've emailed Mondo Tours, don't know if they do transfers in addition to tours. I'm sure RS recommends a service, but I'm not finding it in my older RS Guidebooks.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help out. Your recommendations on all things travel have been invaluable for past trips.

We used Sorrento 1st Choice (https://www.sorrentofirstchoice.com) to pick us up at Naples airport in the morning, drive to Pompeii where we had a private guide through them for a couple hours, then proceeded tomour hotel in Sorrento. It really allowed us to maximize our time. I would use them again without hesitation.

I believe it is best to ask your hotel for their land partner company’s name. They have a great incentive to provide a good referral, and you might be able to charge it to your room. We paid around 100 Euros for Naples RR Station from Ambasciatori hotel. Your husband needs to get used to the fact that hotels (especially in the US ...) cannot make money by responding to emails “in internet time.” Sit back and wait for a reply. Then, pick up the phone if necessary. You get the best results on this newsboard by waiting several days, don’t you?
Here’s a related quote from a past post of mine:
Just to cover the high end, in case that's what your meant, we asked the Hotel Ambasciatori to get us a car and driver for 8 hours from Sorrento. They called their provider, Eurotravel Sorrento +39 0818075895. We got an older gentleman with fine but not perfect English, Enzo, in an almost new Mercedes sedan, who took us to Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, and Scala, with free time of up to 1 1/2 hours in some of them. He obeyed our instructions not to go to the pottery store (except for the toilets), and we accepted his recommendation for the modest Green Grotto, which was OK.
This was 255 Euros plus our modest personal tip, but you should negotiate lower without the hotel's commission, of course. We were entirely satisfied, but I don't mean to say that it was a "Rick Steves" moment with the locals, or that he was the best guide on the peninsula! It sure beat waiting in line for jammed busses, sitting on the side of the bus with no view, and waiting for a bus home that was too full to accept any more riders! Just saying ...

We have used a company called Daytrip in several areas of Europe and Central Europe. They have an excellent website wherein you can plug in your destination and you will get an immediate quote. It also provides suggested optional stops along the way. The drivers are English speaking, some more fluent than others. We've been impressed by the service.
