Where is your hotel?
In historic Venice (San Marco, Cannaregio, Dorsoduro and so on) The car takes you as far as Piazzale Roma: 13 km, about 20 minutes, from €65. From there you continue by boat. The driver carries your luggage to the pontoon and hands you over to the water taxi skipper (around €105 to your hotel's landing stage), or shows you the vaporetto stop (a ticket is €9.50). Both parts of the journey can be booked together.
In Mestre, Marghera or by the cruise terminal Here the car pulls up at the door: hotels in Mestre are 8 km and 15 minutes away, the cruise terminal 14 km and 22 minutes, from €65. No stepped bridges, no changes.
Beyond Venice: Padua, Treviso, the Dolomites We drive straight from arrivals without going into the city. Prices and times are in the table below.
How the meeting works
- Arrivals are on the ground floor. Your driver stands just beyond the doors from baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name on it.
- We follow your flight number: if it's running late, the pick-up moves to the actual arrival time at no charge.
- The car waits in one of the five zones where chauffeur cars have been allowed to stand since July 2026. It's a few minutes' walk from the terminal.
- If you're carrying on by water straight from the airport, signs lead you up to the first floor and along a covered moving walkway to the Darsena water terminal.
Prices from Marco Polo
Tap a row to book this route.
The price is fixed when you book and doesn't change because of traffic or a delayed flight. It includes tolls, luggage and 60 minutes of waiting at the airport.
Child seats are free, and the journey back is 10% cheaper. You pay the driver by card or in cash, with no prepayment.
Good to know before you land
- Passport control. On flights from Schengen countries you just wait for your bags. With a non-EU passport, allow time for the new Entry/Exit System (EES). The airport has also carried out random checks on flights from Spain.
- Venice access fee. At the end of 2026 day-trippers aren't charged; in 2027 the fee returns on certain days. People staying overnight in the city are usually exempt.
- Night roadworks. Between 21:00 and 08:00 the airport approach road and the Mestre ring road are sometimes closed. The driver then takes the Terraglio, and the journey time barely changes.
- Airport Wi-Fi: the "Venezia Airport Free WiFi" network, free of charge.
- Treviso isn't Marco Polo. Low-cost airlines call it "Venice Treviso", but it lies 30 km from Marco Polo. We meet flights there too.
