I need a recommendation of a good and inexpensive car service to pick
me up at Naples Airport and take me to Sorrento... I know there is the
Curreri bus line, however the last bus leaves at 7pm and I don't arrive
until 8pm.

While you'd still need to get into Naples, what about the train (Circumvesuviana
out to Sorrento?)

I think if the OP is flying into Naples, rather than taking the train from
Rome, he is probably not too concerned about the cost and can afford a car
and driver. Besides, the CV is not a very pleasant ride.

It's not terrible. It's rather like, however, taking a subway-style train
for a couple of hours. The OP may indeed prefer a car (and has some referrals)
for that, but since he mentioned he was not taking a bus because the bus
service was closed, I thought he might want a public transport option.

Understood. It's the way I'd go. But then, I'm cheap. ;-)

This car service gets alot of raves on the Fodor's Forum (
www.fodors.com/forums/ ).
www.cuomonet.it
In a recent trip report the poster went from the airport to Positano
for €70.

I think (but may be wrong) that for CURRERI, you'd intend the CORRIERA, the
common name for extra city bus transport.
i repeat it may be wrong but curreri looks to me as a napolitan would call
the corriera in his slang.
So don't look for a Curreri company, but ask for a local corriera.

More like 45 minutes to Sorrento? The hard part if figuring out where
the station is, under the regular train station, and figuring how and
where to buy the tickets.

"Corriera" correposnds more or less to British "coach", but I think Curreri
is the name of a company which runs "corriere" in Campania.

Somewhere in between - a bit over an hour for most trains, a bit under for
the small number which run fast between Naples and Torre Annunziata.

Not that difficult, really. Go downstairs and follow the signs for the
Circumvesuviana.

Where I think the OP might be well advised to follow his original instinct
and get a car is the late hour of arrival. If his flight is delayed he may
well be too late to get into Naples in time for the last train to Sorrento.

The Circumvesuviana, at least when I took it, had lots of stops. It was well
over an hour, close to an hour and a half, to Pompeii. It was shorter to return
so it may depend on which train.
