Naples - Positano Private Car
I was googling and searching around the forums for any recommendations for a private car service from Naples to Positano for my upcoming Italy trip. I have read about the train and bus transfers but definitely think with luggage and simplicity I would rather just hire a car for my Wife and I from Naples.
What companies are reputable? I was looking around the internet but a lot of services have bad reviews or Peche having a warning post about a year ago of "brokers".
We are staying at the Villa Rosa and I had emailed them to ask, they said they could set up a Private taxi for 110 Euro, which didn't seem to unreasonable. Any other services people recommend?
Figure if not, I would go through the Villa Rosa.
Thanks,
Bill

From Naples to Positano is really a long shot, not just for the distance itself, but for the kind of twisty road and occasional traffic jams.
Throwing in the waiting time and highway toll, 110€ sounds really good to me.
I did few searches quoting NCC (renting with a driver) and never got less than 130€: http://www.positano.com/it/trasferimenti.
But with the 'guarantee' of the hotel reservation you're not going to be charged more than agreed, which is not the case anyway for any reserved booking.

My wife and I got back from Positano a week ago today. We used Anthony at Amalfi Transfers both ways (on a recommendation from another traveler on this forum), and I highly recommend him and his service. He lives in Amalfi with his wife and young daughter and is very familiar with the roads having driven them his whole life. We met him in Salerno and departed from Naples. Naples to Positano was quicker but less beautiful.

100 Euro each direction. We desperately miss Positano, can't wait to get back there. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, Bill.

Quick stop? Ha ha ha ha! You'll need several hours to see Pompei, and even then you won't have see most of what is worth seeing (e.g., add another hour for the Villa dei misteri). I've been there three or four times, and I never stayed for less than 4 hours...

No quick stop on the transfer, we went from Salerno right to Positano.
We considered doing a full day trip out to Pompeii, but didn't get to it opting instead for a relaxing boat trip to/from Capri.
