Driving from Rome-Gaeta-Sorrento
My family is leaving for our second trip to Italy a week from today. We are 3 days in Rome, 1 in Gaeta, 3 in Sorrento, then 4 in husband's hometown of Pietrelcina. My husband does speak the language. Right now we are renting a car in Rome and driving the rest of the way. Reading here I am concerened, but we have to get to Gaeta to see family. Is there a place in Sorrento to rent a car, and should we drive at all? If not how do we get to Gaeta then on to Sorrento? I want him to be able to enjoy this as well.
Any advise would be helpful.

Hi Mary - Much better title Hopefully others will contribute now ...
Copied & pasted from your other thread -
You could drive to Gaeta - but you can easily get there by public transport if you prefer.
There are frequent fast trains from Roma Termini to FORMIA - from where there are connecting buses to Gaeta.
There are a number of car hire companies in Sorrento - Hertz, Avis etc.
If you prefer to be driven, the following are limo companies based in Sorrento:
www.tourofitaly.com
www.francescomarrapese.com
www.cuomonet.it
www.seesorrento.com
www.sorrento.it
It's not possible to see Capri by night without staying (- unless you arrange a private water taxi) - as the last ferry currently leaves Capri for Sorrento at 19.00.
[The only other way to leave Capri later would be to catch a later ferry/hydrofoil to Naples - then return to Sorrento by train.
Rather inconvenient ]
There is a left luggage store at the entrance to Pompeii, so stopping there en route to Sorrento is a possibility.
Hope this helps ...
