Cheap Car Hire Naples: The Best of FindYCar

Naples bursts with raw Italian energy — chaotic streets full of life, Vespas zipping through narrow lanes, and the smell of authentic pizza filling the air. This vibrant southern city attracts visitors in search of genuine Italian culture, unfiltered by mass tourism. Travellers come here to experience the birthplace of pizza, explore underground Roman ruins, and use it as a gateway to the Amalfi Coast and the islands of Capri and Ischia.

The city itself is thrillingly chaotic, but the true magic of southern Italy lies just outside its borders, waiting to be discovered. And the real adventure begins with car hire in Naples:

  • Pompeii and Herculaneum are ideal morning trips, letting you explore ancient Roman sites without rushing for group tours
  • Escape to Sorrento or the islands – drive to the ferry terminals at your own pace for day trips to Capri or Ischia
  • Mount Vesuvius awaits – and driving gives you the flexibility to hike the crater rim when it’s less crowded

Start your trip the right way – Book now through FindYCar. No deposit, cash payments accepted, no credit card required, and other flexible options to make your journey easier than ever.

Traffic Rules

Traffic Rules

Driving in Naples can be chaotic, fast-paced, and unlike anywhere else in Europe. Stay calm and familiarise yourself with these rules before hiring a car:

  1. Drive on the right-hand side, overtake on the left.
  2. Seatbelts are compulsory for all passengers, front and rear.
  3. Speed limits: 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on country roads, 110 km/h on dual carriageways, 130 km/h on motorways.
  4. The legal alcohol limit is 0.05% BAC; zero tolerance for drivers under 21 or with less than 3 years of driving experience.
  5. Mobile phones must be used with hands-free systems only.
Parking

Parking

Naples is notoriously difficult when it comes to free parking.

Blue lines indicate pay-and-display parking (approx. €1.50–2.50 per hour in central areas), white lines are free but extremely hard to find, and yellow lines are reserved for residents only.

Petrol Stations

Petrol Stations

Eni, Q8, IP, and Tamoil stations are widespread in the city. Petrol costs around €1.70–1.85 per litre, with diesel being slightly cheaper.

Most stations offer both self-service and full service (the latter usually adds €0.10–0.20 per litre).

Toll Roads

Toll Roads

Italian motorways (autostrade) use a ticket system: take a ticket at entry and pay according to distance when exiting. Trips to Salerno cost around €3–5, and to Rome €15–18.

Payment can be made by cash, card, or Telepass – avoid blue “Telepass only” lanes unless equipped, as card machines may not work at smaller exits.
