Bus From Rome to Positano
Besides booking with a private car service like Daytrip, the only other way to travel directly from Rome to Positano is by bus. Two bus lines operate trips between these two cities – Flixbus and Marozzi VT – with Marozzi VT being the more popular choice.
Depending on the trip, a bus ride can take about five hours, and Marozzi VT provides trips from Rome to Positano five times weekly, with tickets costing as little as 25 euros. Although affordable, this can be time-consuming, and you won't get the chance to stop and sightsee, nor will you be as comfortable as you would if you drove.

Train From Rome to Positano
You can travel via a fast train from Rome to Naples and then transfer to another train from Naples to Sorrento. Once in Sorrento, though, you'll need to take a bus or taxi to Positano. If you have a larger budget and don't want to travel via Trenitalia trains, you can book with Italotreno, a private train operator in Italy. These trains are more comfortable, but tickets are slightly more costly, and you still have to transfer in Naples. Tickets for the whole journey will be at least 25 euros, and if you get the express train, the train rides will take about three hours and 48 minutes.
Taxi or Shuttle From Rome to Positano
Many find traveling from Rome to Positano by taxi or shuttle to be one of the best and most comfortable ways to get from one city to the next. Unfortunately, although this may be true, taking a taxi or shuttle can be incredibly expensive and risky. Arranging a taxi online ahead of time can be difficult or impossible, and if your flight arrives late at night, you may be stuck with the price offered at the airport's taxi stand.
During the busy summer season, the best plan is to book with a reputable international company like Daytrip, where you can order in advance, pay by with a card or cash, and customize the journey.
Flight from Rome to Positano
Some people prefer flying, but that won't be an option for this journey. Positano has no airport, so you can't fly from Rome to Positano. You would need to fly from Rome to Naples, which would be about 3 hours total travel time between getting to the airport, 2 hours for check-in and security, and about 50 minutes flight time. Once in Naples, you still have to take the same ground transportation options.
