EUROPCAR Car Rental at Naples Airport

A free shuttle takes passengers with car rental reservations to the area, where most Naples Airport car hire companies have their offices and parking lots. Europcar at Naples Airport is one of these car rental providers. At Naples International Airport, Europcar's office is open from 7.30 am to 11.30 pm, the same hours during which the free shuttle transports passengers to the car rental offices and back to the terminal after drop-offs.

The Europcar Naples Airport service desk can be contacted on +39 081 780 5643. The minimum age requirement for drivers to be able to rent a car is 18. Car rental packages include unlimited kilometers and 24-hour emergency road assistance. The Europcar fleet at Naples Airport includes choices like the Economy and Mini category Lancia Y, Fiat Panda and Fiat 500.

Castel dell’Ovo, Palazzo Reale, Piazza del Plebiscito, Santa Chiara Cloisters and Basilica Church, Castell Nuovo, and Real Teatro di San Carlo are just some of the beautiful sights and tourist attractions Naples has to offer. Naples Card offers passholders various discounts or free admission to museums and gallery visits. Public transport, including rides on buses, trams, the Metro and Naples' famous funiculars, are also included in the deal. But with car rental from Europcar it's possible to go beyond the city limits and see some of Italy's best tourist attractions. One of the most memorable of these is just a 40 minute drive away: the ancient city of Pompeii.

Once an important city full of elegant streets, sophisticated homes and temples, Roman Pompeii was buried under several meters of ash and pumice, when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. People were literally fixed to the spot where they stood, sat or lay by lava and ash. Houses still contain items of furniture and work tools, kitchenware, bronze and terracotta lamps. There's even food on the tables, fixed in time by lava. There are shops selling fruit and vegetables, workshops where gold-and silversmiths worked or pets turned to stone, lying in their owner's yard as if they were asleep.

Joining a guided tour is the best way to see the theater and forum, the mosaics and temples, the wall paintings and thermal baths. Going around most of the site takes at least 5 hours.

It takes a little less, about 3 hours, to see the other important Roman town near Naples: the Herculaneum, an archaeological site some 10 km distance from Naples, and about 20 km from Pompeii. Villas, impressive public buildings, thermal baths and wide streets have already been excavated on this 20 hectare site, of which so far only about one third is on display.
