Amalfi Coast Alternate Licence Plates and Transfer Rules

The Amalfi Coast limits traffic in season, and the rules differ from town to town. Here is how the restrictions work and how to plan your transfer around them.

What applies

Traffic restrictions and an alternate-licence-plate scheme apply across eleven municipalities: Vietri sul Mare, Cetara, Maiori, Minori, Ravello, Atrani, Amalfi, Conca dei Marini, Furore, Praiano and Positano. In season, some roads limit non-resident vehicles by the last digit of the plate on certain days, and many towns have ZTLs with cameras that fine unauthorised vehicles automatically.

Town by town

  • Positano: a ZTL with a summer window (reported as 06:30 to midnight) and municipal fees — reported at €5 per entry, €15 per hour of parking and an €8 loading fee
  • Ravello: a ZTL with a checkpoint fee, reported at €10 per entry
  • Amalfi: restrictions at peak hours
  • All towns: rules and fees change by season; always check the current calendar

What it means for your transfer

  • Choose an operator with local permits, not just any driver from Naples or Rome
  • Sedans, vans and small minibuses work; large coaches do not
  • Your hotel's access matters: many sit on steps or pedestrian paths
  • Arrive with time in hand — the last stretch can take an hour or more in peak season
  • SITA Sud buses and ferries are alternatives, but not door to door with luggage

How we handle it

We work with local partners who hold the permits and know each hotel's approach. Municipal fees are shown as separate lines in your quote and we confirm the last few hundred metres with your hotel before you travel.

Frequently asked questions

Can I drive the Amalfi Coast myself?

You can, but restrictions, fines, narrow roads and parking make it stressful in season. A local driver with permits is easier.

Are the fees the same every year?

No. They are set by each municipality and change by season, so verify the current figures before you travel.
