re: Rome and Amalfi Coast

I would imagine that a private driver from Rome to Positano would be very expensive. If this is not an issue, then by all means do that. The train from Rome to Naples is pretty cheap, and the private driver from Naples to Positano cost us about $90 before tip, probably a little more now. That worked out fine.

This is what I would do.
We used Amalfi coast transfers company that drove us from Naples to Positano and then Ravelllo back to Naples airport. No way I would drive in Naples or the coast. Once on the coast the ferry is the best way to get around.

Side note: Positano is terrible if you have a child in a stroller.

It was 2019 and I forget what it cost, but it wasn’t too much because I would remember it had it been super high. I’m thinking it was like $200 after tip.
I was traveling with my wife and two 13 year old girls. The plane landed at like 8am Rome time. I was thinking after a long flight, I didn’t want the hassle of getting us and the luggage to the train station, on the train and then from the other train station to Positano.
Getting off the plane and meeting the baw with your name on a sign was well worth it.
