KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sorrento
The town of Sorrento overlooks the Bay of Naples and is a major tourist destination in Italy. The best means of transport to explore the entirety of the Amalfi Coast and other places of interest is car hire in Sorrento. With infinite convenience and flexibility at your fingertips, extended roadtrips to Messina (306 miles via E45 South) or to Florence (322 miles via E45 North) are within reach.
The drive from Naples International Airport (NAP) to downtown Sorrento is about 33 miles. This major air hub is the first opportunity you will have to get car hire in Sorrento. If you prefer, there are local companies like Maggiore or Locauto, otherwise more recognised names like Sixt and Avis are available and at your service. You will need the free shuttle to get to the car hire centre and can find this located behind the taxi rank and across the street near the P5 car park.
As the main traffic artery for inbound and outbound traffic through and around Sorrento, the SS145 is subject to congestion during morning and evening rush hours. The old and new parts of town are awash with retail, hospitality and commercial interests, as well as cultural landmarks, so anticipate huge volumes of pedestrian and cycle activity during peak travel periods and the early afternoon hours. This section of the Amalfi Coast is a bustling tourist destination from June to August and during the Holy Week before Easter, which will aggravate normal road activity.
To get an early start on your explorations outside Sorrento, the hours from 07:00 to 09:00 are critical times to avoid morning congestion along inner city streets and the SS145. For your inbound return journey, the hours from 19:00 to 20:30 will experience peak activity along most primary and secondary roads. The Corso Italia hub near Piazza Tasso and the Via Luigi de Maio cross-change near Sorrento Port are automatic magnets for major vehicular activity during both periods. Afternoon hours from 12:00 to 15:00 on weekdays will witness spikes across all types of traffic.
Sorrento is home to several car rental agencies. Common among the cheap car rentals in Sorrento are; Sunnycars, Europcar, Hertz, and Budget. These Sorrento car rentals are located in about 16 different parts of the city. Among the 16, most foreign travelers would prefer locations near the airport, probably due to the ease of accessing different car rental agencies. On the other hand, local tourists would prefer locations along Corso Italia. These locations are common among Sunnycars, Europcar, and Hertz car rental clients. These locations host numerous Sorrento car rental agencies with different types, classes, and models of cars that will fit your taste, preference, and purpose.
Your holiday with kids will be more fun and memorable if you rent a car to optimize your movement flexibility to your desired locations in Sorrento.

There are no congestion charges in Sorento. When driving your car from Sorrento car rentals, however, you should note the Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) boundaries, locally known as Zona Trafico Limitato (ZTL). ZTL is meant to limit certain types of cars, especially rented ones, from accessing certain parts of the city, such as the historical center. When you drive through the ZTL, the fine is electronically transferred to your car rental agency, adding to your rental charges.

Easy pickup. Brief paperwork. Fun and technologically up-to-date car. A little hard to find the Naples car rental drop-off but that's not Hertz specific.
