nguyener Posted May 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Me and 2 others will be disembarking from our cruise at the Salerno port and I was wondering what the best way to get to Rome from Salerno would be. My options seem to be either renting a car or taking a train. Cost-wise, would a rental car be cheaper than 3 train tickets? It seems more convenient to have a car for our luggage but on the flip side, we'd have to navigate our way to Rome. We would probably have a check-in sized luggage each. I see that Tren Italia has a luggage transport service but am not sure how that works, does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Train, the fast train (one stop, Naples) takes under 2 hrs cost is €29; the slower train takes 3 hrs. Just drag your luggage on and put it on the luggage rack over the seat. You'd have to pay me a lot of money to want to drive in either Rome or Naples (which you'll pass through) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therhodes Posted May 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Agree with Scott.......take the train. It was quick and simple. If you are staying in Rome and your hotel is not within walking distance of Termini, take a taxi (from the area at the front of station where the legitimate taxis queue). We booked out train tickets in advance through a travel agency while traveling in Italy but I'm sure you can do it either online or through a TA at home before you go. Have a great trip.

nguyener Posted May 29, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Thank you for the advice scottbee and therhodes! So there will not be any trouble on the trains with our luggage size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy3putts Posted May 29, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Third option- car service. We hired a car to drive us from Sorrento to Rome. Group of 10 was approximately 55 euro each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted May 30, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The drive is easy, if boring. You can't drive into the city center in Rome but that's a pretty limited area and it's easy to find a hotel on the outskirts well outside of the ZTL. When you add up the costs for three people a rental may be a smarter option, economically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
