Car Rental in Napoli Port

Naples port is the gateway to the islands – ferries depart from here to Capri, Ischia, Procida, and Sicily – and with five rental companies in the port area, you can smoothly combine island visits with mainland attractions. The port's location at Molo Beverello, 1 km south of Piazza del Plebiscito, makes it easy to switch between car and boat. Pompeii and Herculaneum are reached in under 30 minutes south.

The port is divided into Molo Beverello for speedboats and Calata Porta di Massa for car ferries. Castel dell'Ovo, Naples' oldest castle, is located right at the quay 500 meters west. The Chiaia district's luxury restaurants and Via Partenope with its sea views are within a 10-minute walk.

Pick up your car at the port after a morning ferry from Capri and drive directly south toward the Amalfi Coast for a perfect combination of island and coastal drive. Avoid driving into the ZTL zone (restricted traffic zone) in Naples' historic center – fines are sent to Sweden. Park at Parcheggio Brin or Mergellina and explore the port on foot.

Can I take the rental car on the ferry to Sicily? It depends on the rental company's terms – most do not allow rental cars on the ferry without special permission. Always check when booking.

How far is it from Naples port to Sorrento? Sorrento is about 50 km south via A3 and SS145 and is reached in approximately 50–60 minutes. Is there parking at the rental company offices at the port?

Yes, the port area has parking garages, but they can be expensive. Ask the rental company if they have free short-term parking for pickup.
