About Renting a Car at Naples Mergellina

Mergellina is one of Naples' most charming neighbourhoods, located along the coast with views over Vesuvius and the Posillipo heights. From here, it's just a couple of minutes' drive along the lungomare promenade into Naples' historic centre, where you'll find the UNESCO World Heritage Site Spaccanapoli and the National Museum. If you take the motorway south, you reach Pompeii in approximately 30 minutes, and if you continue further along the SS18, you'll come to the Sorrento coast with its dramatic cliff faces and sea-blue views.

If you want to explore the Amalfi Coast, the SS163 is recommended, a winding coastal road with stunning views that's worth driving at a leisurely pace. The best time to visit is May to June or September, before the summer heat and traffic reach their peak.

We compare prices from all major providers at Naples Mergellina so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.

Quick Guide: Car Hire in Naples

🚗 1) Pick the Right Terms

  • Fuel: "Full-to-full" is usually the fairest deal.
  • Extra driver: can cost extra — check before booking.
