Introduction

If you’re planning a visit to Italy’s stunning Amalfi Coast, you’ll want to think carefully about how you’ll get between Naples and Positano. We recently came across a private transfer service that promises a smooth, comfortable journey both ways, and it’s definitely worth considering if you value ease and reliability.
What caught our eye? First, the private nature of the transfer—no crowded buses or trains, just your own space—and second, the flexibility of the service, which picks you up from your hotel, airport, or cruise terminal. That said, it’s not the cheapest option out there, but when you consider the convenience, it could be a good investment especially if you’re traveling with luggage or in a small group.
One thing to keep in mind: the price covers up to two people and one medium-sized piece of luggage per person. Larger groups or more luggage will require an extra fee, so it’s worth planning ahead if you’re traveling with a lot of gear. This kind of transfer suits travelers who want a stress-free start or end to their trip, especially if you’re looking to avoid the hassle of public transport or connecting with local taxis.
If you’re after a straightforward, reliable way to get between Naples and Positano—without added drama—this might fit the bill nicely. It’s ideal for travelers who appreciate comfort, value efficiency, and want to start or finish their day on the right foot.

What Travelers Love
A real highlight from feedback is the reliability and comfort of this service. One reviewer raved about a private boat tour around Positano and Capri, mentioning how the driver, Fabio, “customized the trip to our needs,” which indicates a level of attentiveness that travelers appreciate. While this review focused on a boat tour, it reflects the general quality of the provider’s services—friendly, attentive, and professional.
Another point travelers mention is the convenience—being picked up directly from their accommodation or arrival point, with no fuss. The air-conditioned vehicle makes a noticeable difference, especially on hot days, ensuring you stay comfortable for the entire journey.
Practical Considerations
Of course, no service is perfect for everyone. The main thing to keep in mind is the cost—at around $463.44 for up to two people, it’s not exactly cheap, but that cost reflects the private, door-to-door nature of the service. For couples, small families, or groups of friends, this can be a worthwhile splurge for peace of mind.
Luggage is an important point: the service allows one trolley or medium-sized bag per person. If you’re traveling with extra luggage, you’ll need to contact the provider for additional arrangements, which could involve extra charges. This is something to think about if you’re arriving with large suitcases or multiple bags.
Another note: the cancellation policy is friendly—free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance—giving some flexibility if your plans change unexpectedly.
