Why hire a car in Naples?

Inhabited since antiquity, Naples has a past that very few other cities in Europe can compare with — as testified by its many classical sites and the largest historical city centre on the continent. Other draws of this timeless destination include the proximity to a number of beautiful coastal areas and, naturally, the local cuisine.

Top ways to enter Naples

  • Naples Airport. One of the busiest in Southern Italy, Naples Airport handles about ten million travellers every year. Unlike many other southern airports, there are plenty of connections year-round, not just during the high tourist season. The airport is popular with a number of low-cost carriers including easyJet, Wizz Air, and Volotea.

Top sights and activities

  • Churches. Even if you’re not religious, exploring the sacral architecture of Naples can be a very special experience. Just inside the city’s UNESCO-recognized city centre, there are at least ten notable houses of prayer of different ages, histories, and architectural styles. You could do worse than begin with Gesù Nuovo, the highly distinctive 18th-century Baroque church that’s just as impressive from the inside as it is from the facade.
  • Castel dell'Ovo. Although nobody has been able to find the egg that the legendary poet Virgil supposedly left inside the castle’s foundations (and that gives it its name), the seaside fortification is one of the most impressive buildings in Naples. The original construction in the area, done by Greek colonists, actually predates Virgil by some 500 years, although the present castle is dated to the 12th century and was built by the Normans.
  • Royal Palace and the National Museum. Another must-visit place figuring on the lists of thousands of visitors to Naples, the National Museum is indeed rather special — not least for the works of El Greco, Titian, and other timeless masters that are on display here.

Traffic and parking

  • The speed limit in cities is 50 km/h, although in certain areas the speed limit may be reduced to 30 km/h. 
  • Main highways are limited to 130 km/h, non-major highways to 110 km/h, and local roads to 90 km/h. During the rain, the limits are respectively lowered to 110 km/h, 100 km/h, and 80 km/h. The general speed limit is lowered to 50 km/h during heavy fog or other cases of bad visibility.
  • Proof of insurance and the car’s documentation need to be in the car whenever you’re driving.
  • When driving, you need to have your passport or ID card with you at all times.
  • The legal alcohol limit is 0.05% for experienced drivers and 0.00% for novice drivers. Being over the allowed limit can result in hefty fines and even imprisonment. 
  • The emergency number, like elsewhere in the EU, is 112.

Toll roads

There are numerous toll roads in Italy. The exact fee depends on the route you choose and the type of vehicle. See the official Italian toll road website for more information. Use the website’s toll road calculator to find out exactly how much you’ll have to pay for using the toll roads on your planned route. 

Ideas for day trips

  • Pompeii. Buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius more than 2,000 years ago, but famous to this day, Pompeii is a truly unique place to visit (the same can be said of Herculaneum, another site near Naples that shared the same destiny). If possible, try to visit on a working day as the crowds might be relatively smaller. Visit the Pompeii official tourist website to learn more. The drive from Naples takes about 30 minutes.
  • Amalfi coast. The island of Capri is naturally the most famous coastal destination in the area, but driving alongside the idyllic Amalfi coast can be just as rewarding. Reached in just an hour from Naples and stretching for some 70 km (42 miles) in the neighbouring province of Salerno, it is made up of lovely beaches, quaint towns, and the impressive Amalfi Cathedral.

Most popular cars

The most hired car in Naples is the Ford Fiesta, followed by the Toyota Aygo and the Fiat Panda. The most hired car types are economy, mini, and intermediate.

Visiting Colli a Volturno was an amazing experience. It is completely unknown, allowing my Italian language students to speak in Italian, visit some beautiful places still hidden from tourism.

Naples is a dirty city, trash is on every street, almost everywhere you look. Even by sightseeing. Take a 30 minutes walk in the streets of Naples and you will see people throwing garbage on the streets. Traffic is a pure chaos. It's overcrowded too. At least the pizza and food is amazing. It's a good fox max 1 night stop and then go to Pompeii, Vesuvius - these are worth the visit. Then either south to Sorrento or Amalfi coast, they are so beautiful, but again super overcrowded even as soon as middle of June. Generally, I was also quite disappointed about the state of most buildings and how neglected everything outside tourist spots looks. I would expect more from a member of G7.

Driving from Naples to Puglia was an amazing experience. The landscape was an ever changing picture with great people and excellent food. However, the rules of the road don’t appear to apply in Italy but once you start driving like an Italian things become easier if somewhat daunting.

Driving in rural Italy is not for the faint hearted, especially if you are used to roads that are more than just slightly wider than the width of the car, and you're used to driving an automatic and not a manual with the gearstick on the other side. However, getting about without a car would be impossible. I wouldn't want to rent an expensive car here as many drivers don't seem to mind inflicting the odd dent on other cars around.

We spent a long weekend driving around the Sorrentine Peninsula, including, Vico Equense, Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, and all the coastal and mountain roads you could dream of. A small car is essential for winding corners, and narrow roads. The Fiat 500X is perfect. We had a manual Fiat 500X and I thoroughly enjoyed the drive and the views on the coast and through the mountain roads. I would warn that some roads are very narrow though, compared to the UK.
