The SS163 Amalfitana is arguably Europe's most photographed coastal road. It's also narrow, busy in high season and short on parking: driving it well calls for the right car more than the most powerful one.
Car choice matters more here than anywhere
On the Amalfi Coast, agility beats power. A compact convertible or a modestly sized sports car handles the switchbacks above Positano and Amalfi far better than a full-size SUV. Our team will recommend the right model based on your route and destination hotel.
Stops worth planning
Ravello for the gardens and the view from above, Sorrento as a more convenient base for those arriving from Naples, and Capri reachable by ferry with the car left on the mainland. Each location has its own page with live availability and pricing.
Logistics: where to collect and drop off
We deliver directly to your hotel, the port or Naples airport. If you'd rather avoid driving the most congested August stretches, pick-up and drop-off can be arranged at different points — collecting in Naples and returning in Sorrento, for instance.
When to book
From June to September, demand on the coast regularly outstrips supply: booking three or four weeks ahead is the rule, not the exception.
