Private Transfer Recommendations

Piggybacking off my last post - I've decided that instead of relying on trains and shuttles, it's far easier and more convenient to book a private transfer from FCO to our hotel in Sorrento. I found a reasonable quote from a company called Sorrento Insider for 460 euros. Is anyone familiar with this website? If not, any recommendations for reliable, safe, and reasonably priced transfers would be much appreciated.

Also, don't know if I should make a separate thread for this. But what's the easiest way to get from Sorrento to Positano with luggage? We'll be hauling my wedding dress, fiance's tux, a backpack, and a large suitcase.

Thanks!!

Are you staying some time in Sorrento before continuing on to Positano? The ferry schedule will already be limited by October and loading stuff on a bus won’t be fun so you might need a car or another car service. So, why not go on to Positano straight away rather than stopping in Sorrento, or consider Positano only as a day trip?
If you are packing together in one large suitcase, I strongly suggest you not do that, but instead each pack one medium size piece of luggage. Then, each of you pack an outfit or two of clothing in the other person’s luggage. If one piece is delayed or lost, you both still have enough for a day or two. It is also much easier to handle and lift into cars, trains, etc. and no worry of being overweight. It is also a lot easier to keep your things organized if it is not mixed together.

We’re eloping on our terrace in Positano. It’s a luxury rental and very pricey, so we’re only staying for two nights before heading back up to Rome. We’re staying in Sorrento for the first 4 days of our trip because it’s reasonably priced and easy access to Capri and Pompeii for day trips. We’ll consider your advice on taking two medium sized suitcases and will reach out to our hotel about booking a taxi from Sorrento to Positano.
