Alternatives: appTaxi and itTaxi list Naples, as does FREENOW. Uber’s airport page names its Black and Van options: in Naples it works with licensed private-hire (NCC) cars, booked in advance, not standard ride-hailing. For the islands or the coast, Flegrea Charter hires boats by the day from Santa Lucia (Darsena Acton).
