Salerno Center Car Hire

# Translation 3 Salerno is Campania's second-largest city and the gateway to the Amalfi Coast, Cilento, and Pompeii. With 13 rental companies in the center, it offers one of southern Italy's best selections of rental cars at competitive prices. The city's location on the Bay of Salerno makes it a perfect hub for excursions in the region.

From Salerno center, it's only 25 km along SS163 to Amalfi, one of Italy's most spectacular coastal roads. Pompeii is about 55 km north via the A3, and Paestum with its ancient Greek temples can be reached in 40 minutes to the south. Avoid driving on the Amalfi Coast during July–August in the middle of the day – traffic is extreme.

Instead, park in Salerno and take a boat to Positano or Amalfi. Book a car with automatic transmission if you're planning the Amalfi Coast – those hairpin turns are demanding. Compare prices among the 13 rental companies for the best deal.
