What is the difference between a shared shuttle bus and a private transfer
Autonoleggio Di Paola operates a shared shuttle bus with mandatory advance booking — not a private hire vehicle and not a public bus.
You share the shuttle with other passengers heading to the same destinations, but your seat is reserved and the departure is guaranteed. The route follows a fixed itinerary with planned stops only.
- Shared shuttle bus: €35 per person, fixed timetable, reserved seat — the economical choice for individual travellers and couples.
- Private transfer (NCC): dedicated vehicle for your group, flexible timing, charged per vehicle (€80–130 average for this distance).
The shuttle bus makes most sense for individuals and couples arriving during covered hours. Need a dedicated vehicle? Visit our private hire service.
