What is the difference between a shared shuttle bus and a private transfer
Autonoleggio Di Paola's airport shuttle is a shared shuttle bus with mandatory advance booking. Not a private hire car, not a public route bus.
Your seat is reserved and the departure is guaranteed. The vehicle is shared with other passengers on the same northward route along the Tyrrhenian coast.
- Shared shuttle bus: €35 per person, fixed timetable, reserved seat — excellent value for individuals and couples.
- Private transfer (NCC): dedicated vehicle for your group only, fully flexible timing, charged per vehicle (€80–130 average).
