Compare Sorrento car hire

Naples Airport is one of Italy’s busiest hubs so, as you’d expect, it houses ample options for Sorrento car hire. All the usual suspects have an office here, and there’s a devoted centre served by shuttle buses from the P5 car park. To uncover the deals that ensure the cheapest Sorrento stays, use TravelSupermarket to book in advance.

Alternatively, if you’re arriving in Naples by train, there are car hire outlets all around town, including by Napoli Centrale station.

From Naples' tangenziale (ring road), drive south towards the Sorrento peninsula down the A3 autoroute – paying the toll – then veer west along the SS14 by Pompeii. The latter is a busy road, so be prepared for some traffic, and to be on the road for 90 minutes.

As vehicles are only permitted between November and April, and given that – due to excellent buses and the isle’s small size – you won’t need a car anyway, it makes sense to sort car rental in Sorrento after you’ve been to Capri.

Europcar, Budget, Avis and Hertz all have offices for car rental in Sorrento itself, and all allow return at Naples’ airport, should you desire.

With so many agencies vying for supremacy, finding competitive, cheap car hire in Sorrento shouldn’t be a problem. Sorrento’s cheapest rates are available in winter or the shoulder seasons (May to June and September to October).

There’s further good news for those looking to keep things cheap too: all the local roads are excellent, so you won’t need a costlier 4x4. A decent Fiat should do the (Italian) job!

1. Throughout Italy, motorists are required by law to have a high-vis yellow or orange bib in the car at all times. This is to be worn if you need to exit the car in the event of a breakdown or accident. You can expect one as standard with all hire cars.
   
   
2. Most Italian cars are manual, but that’ll mean a lot of shifting between first and third gear along the Amalfi Coast’s famously windy road – especially when you’re giving precedence to tour buses on hairpins. In this scenario, automatic transmission is much less hassle.
   
   
3. In Sorrento’s narrow streets or the busy Amalfi Coast towns, every inch counts. So when parking, turn in your side mirrors to avoid any nasty surprises.
