I need some advice on the best way to get from the south of England to Naples. i have to go to Naples to carry out scientific research on Mount Vesuvius in June and I'm torn as to the best way to do it.

I need a car while in Naples and only being 21 at the time, flying there and hiring a car for a month is going to cost a bomb - about £600-700 with all the extra costs like young driver excess (plus then having to leave a huge deposit as insurance). Does anyone know if it would be cheaper for me to spend a day or two driving there (i'm a pretty confident driver so should be ok driving on the wrong side of the road) or just fly and fork out to hire a car?? I have my own Ford KA collection at home which i think is pretty economical. Even if it is a little bit more to drive i imagine the drive is amazing.

If you think driving is the best way, don't suppose people would be able to help with a breakdown of how much it would likely be to do the trip there and back.

Thanks in advance for your help smile much appreciated
