Tickets, Luggage & Late-Night Arrivals

How Tickets & Payments Work

You can tap any contactless credit/debit card on the onboard validator of the Alibus (€5.00), buy a ticket at terminal automated machines, or purchase online at anm.it. The ticket is valid for 90 minutes across the ANM urban network from first validation.

Traveling with Suitcases

Alibus vehicles are dedicated airport coaches with designated luggage racks. Taxis accommodate standard bags easily.

Arriving After Midnight

Alibus runs until approximately midnight (00:00). After midnight, official taxis are available 24/7 at the rank right outside the terminal.

Common Mistakes & Airport Scams to Avoid

  • Failing to request the fixed municipal tariff (*tariffa predeterminata*) BEFORE the taxi departs—otherwise drivers may run the meter and charge extra fees.
  • Buying tickets from unauthorized individuals hanging around the bus stops claiming to sell fast-track tickets.
  • Not realizing the Alibus continues past the Central Station directly to the ferry port (Molo Beverello) if you are catching an island ferry.
  • Naples taxi drivers are legally required to offer predetermined fixed tariffs (*tariffe predeterminate*) for airport journeys (€18 to Piazza Garibaldi, €21 to City Center / Molo Beverello). Request this tariff before departure to avoid inflated meters.
