How do I book a car in Naples?
Open the booking engine here or at /book/. Enter your flight number, ship name and pier, train number or hotel, choose a vehicle and confirm the fixed fare. The 24/7 dispatch desk in Toronto sends the job to a vetted Naples affiliate contracted to the BlaakLane.com written standard. Cancelling is free beyond 72 hours; after that the charge is 10% inside 72 hours, 50% inside 48 hours and 100% inside 24 hours or on a no-show.
Capodichino airport: pickup and waiting
Naples International sits in the Capodichino district, about 6 km north-east of the centre, with one passenger terminal. Your chauffeur waits curbside at the pre-arranged pickup area outside arrivals and messages the car details when you land. Capodichino arrivals can add a name-board greeting in the hall; add-ons are only available in selected locations. Flights are tracked, and waiting runs 60 minutes from landing for international flights and 30 minutes for domestic ones such as Milan or Turin. More detail is on the NAP airport page and the airport's own site, aeroportodinapoli.it.
Cruise port and the island piers
The cruise terminal, the Stazione Marittima on the Molo Angioino, faces Piazza Municipio and the Castel Nuovo. Next door is Molo Beverello, where hydrofoils leave for Capri, Ischia, Procida and Sorrento; slower car ferries use Calata Porta di Massa a short way east. Chauffeurs drop and collect at the port access points the port authority allows, which change with ship calls and security. Cruise passengers heading to Pompeii or the airport after disembarkation should book with the ship name and expected clearance time. See cruise lines and ports and Capri for the island handover.
Rail: Napoli Centrale and Afragola
Frecciarossa and Italo high-speed trains reach Napoli Centrale on Piazza Garibaldi in about 1 hour 10 minutes from Rome and around 4.5 hours from Milan. Some services also stop at Napoli Afragola, the high-speed station north of the city, which is quicker for the airport and Caserta. Station pickups include 15 minutes of waiting; give the train number and the chauffeur follows its running. Timetables are on Trenitalia.
ZTL zones: why the car may stop a street away
Much of the historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is inside ZTL limited traffic zones enforced by cameras, including the Centro Antico around Spaccanapoli and several streets in Chiaia. Access for hired cars depends on the zone, the hour and the permit held, so the chauffeur may drop at the nearest permitted point, often Piazza del Gesu, Piazza Dante or Via Toledo, and walk you in. Hotels on the Lungomare, such as the Grand Hotel Vesuvio, the Excelsior and the Romeo near the port, are reached without ZTL issues. The Comune di Napoli publishes current zones.
Neighbourhoods and venues
Chiaia and the Lungomare along Via Partenope and Via Caracciolo hold the smart hotels and shops; Posillipo climbs the western headland with villas and restaurants; the Vomero sits above on the hill, linked by funiculars; the Centro Direzionale by the station is the business district. The Teatro di San Carlo is beside the Royal Palace; the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and the Mostra d'Oltremare exhibition grounds are in Fuorigrotta to the west. On match days around the stadium, the affiliate agrees a pickup point outside the closures.
Events by month
- May: Maggio dei Monumenti opens churches and palaces, and the first Saturday of May brings one of the three San Gennaro celebrations.
- June and July: the Napoli Teatro Festival.
- 19 September: the Feast of San Gennaro at the Duomo, with crowds and closures in the old town.

- December 16: a further San Gennaro observance.
Football season runs from August to May.
Day trips with a chauffeur
Pompeii and Herculaneum are 20 to 30 minutes apart on the A3, so an hourly chauffeur service booking can cover both, with Vesuvius in between. The Royal Palace of Caserta suits a half day. The drive to Sorrento along the peninsula is scenic but slow in summer. For the Amalfi Coast, the SS163 has summer traffic rules; read the Amalfi Coast page first. Our city tours and day trips page explains how waiting and stops are priced.
Arrival formalities: EES and ETIAS
Visitors from outside the Schengen area register with the EU Entry/Exit System at the first Schengen border, which may be Naples itself or an earlier connection such as Frankfurt or Paris. EES has been fully operational since 10 April 2026. ETIAS is not yet running and the EU has not fixed a start date; check Travel to Europe.
Business travel in Naples
Corporate trips often combine the Centro Direzionale offices, the port and the university hospitals with an evening in Chiaia. An hourly booking keeps one chauffeur with you all day, which is simpler than hailing cars in traffic. Companies can open corporate accounts with monthly invoicing, cost-centre reporting, booker and traveller profiles and a named coordinator. Ship managers moving seafarers through the port use shipping crew change; airline crews positioning through Capodichino use airline crew transportation. Background on the city is on Wikipedia.
Vehicles for Naples streets
Old-town streets are narrow and steep, so a business or Luxury Executive Sedan is often faster than a large SUV for city work. An executive SUV or Standard Black SUV suits a family with cruise luggage; a Sprinter or minicoach carries a shore-excursion group. No Naples affiliate car is older than four model years. See the fleet and rates. Naples drivers who want affiliate work can register.
