Venice · VENICE AIRPORT TRANSFERS
Good venice airport transfers fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Meet at desk 71 at Marco Polo Airport, confirm your voucher, then share a water taxi with up to 13 other passengers. The boat heads toward San Marco, Rialto, or Piazzale Roma and may stop near your hotel. Allow extra time for check-in and waiting.
“Best way to arrive in Venice from the airport! Much cheaper than hiring a water taxi individually but the same experience.”
Take a shared water taxi from one of 11 Venice or Lido pickup points to Marco Polo Airport. Your skipper helps with luggage, and the ride takes about an hour. Confirm the dock and pickup time the day before, and allow extra time for other hotel stops.
“It was excellent. The boat was clean. Our driver was super friendly. We had a beautiful little ride through the canal to go pick up other people. I was plenty of room. It was very comfortable.”
Meet a representative after customs at Marco Polo Airport, then ride a private motorboat to Venice, usually in about 30 minutes. Choose airport-to-pier help or full escort to your hotel. Boats carry up to six people and six pieces of luggage, with service available around the clock.
“Horrendous experience. Don't use this tour operator or viator. No rep at terminal as promised waited hours. Didn't pick up phone number or responded to chat through app. Made own way to pier when there they didn't recognise the ticket on the app. Viator response is 'we are not the opeator only agebt not onterested on try9jg to resolve problem at all. Whole experince ruined start to holiday. Used Uber instead 3 minutes stress free much better option. Won't be using viator again.”
Leave Venice by private motorboat and reach Marco Polo Airport in about 30 minutes. Choose hotel-to-airport assistance or full escort to the departure terminal. Boats carry up to six people and six bags, with service available around the clock.
“It's always a bit nerve-racking to hope that a pre-booked transfer will be there on time when you have an international flight to catch. This booking went seamlessly. We were met at our hotel by a Viator representative and the water taxi was on time (early) and whisked us to the Marco Polo Airport on the mainland. Highly recommend. Thank you.”
Meet your English-speaking driver at Marco Polo Airport, ride a private Mercedes to the dock, then continue by water taxi to your central Venice hotel. Flight tracking, luggage help, WiFi, and a one-hour wait are included. Confirm your hotel’s access before booking.
“Easy, quick and exactly as described. Driver was easy to spot at the airport and the transfer from car to boat was seamless.”
Travel from your Venice hotel dock to Marco Polo Airport by private water taxi, then continue by minivan from the airport pier to the terminal. The ride takes about 30 minutes and suits groups of up to four, though early departures and excess luggage require extra care.
“Booked the top of line service, someone to meet at hotel and take to dock. No one showed! Told to be at dock at 12:45 for a 1:00 private boat - boat didn't show until 1:25. Stood in the rain for 45 minutes. Talked to boat taxi service and they said they didn’t have the van to take us from the dock to the airport but arranged it after I told them it was pre-booked.”
Meet your chauffeur in Marco Polo Airport’s Arrival Hall, then ride by private sedan or minivan to a dock and continue by licensed water taxi to your Venice hotel. The service is private for up to seven people, with hotel drop-off depending on water access, luggage limits, and dock location.
“Excellent. Our driver was there waiting for us and our plane came in a little early. He was very courteous and handled all of our luggage. We didn’t have to wait for the water taxi and both drivers put our luggage into water taxi and we were on our way. Excellent experience.”
Travel from Venice Marco Polo Airport to Trieste in a white Ford Transit Custom with up to eight passengers. Drivers such as Grega and Mattia provide clear pickup instructions, safe driving, local information, and direct drop-off at hotels or private addresses.
“My friend and I enjoyed Grego’s company and professional service from Venice to Trieste. Grego was very knowledgeable about his country and we found this service very safe and reliable. Highly recommend Grego 🥰”
Pre-book a private Mercedes transfer from Venice Cruise Terminal to Marco Polo Airport. A driver meets you with a name sign, handles luggage, and takes your group directly to the airport in about 40 minutes. Vehicles range from an S Class for three to a Sprinter for eight.
“The driver arrived 10 minutes early. He was very pleasant and helped my disabled husband into the car. Car was very clean and had sufficient room for our bags and wheelchair. I would recommend.”
Meet Massimo or a member of his team in Venice Marco Polo Airport’s arrivals hall, then ride about 35 minutes in an air-conditioned vehicle to Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto. Hotel water taxis are not included, but can be arranged for an extra charge.
“He is an really good guy, precise . About his car I have really no words to say, this are really nice and silent….every time I travel with him I can relax and happy. I suggest this service to every person that need the perfect pick up for any destination!”
Meet your driver at Marco Polo Airport, ride by private air-conditioned van to the Venice car terminal, then continue by water taxi toward your hotel in Venice or Mestre. The service is private for up to six people, with bottled water and 60 minutes of included waiting time.
“When we arrived we could jot see our contact and had to call the tour operator..only after we spoke did he show up..not sure why he as was not standing there like the others with our name board. Anyhow it was a very short drive to the private boat to Venice. This was wonderful. However it would be less expensive if you take the taxi boat from the airport..”
Meet your driver in Marco Polo Airport’s arrival hall, then ride by private minivan to the water taxi dock. Continue by premium or luxury boat toward your Venice accommodation, with direct hotel drop-off when conditions and dock access allow. Confirm your flight, luggage, and destination details before booking.
“I didn't get any tour, only transfer from the airport to the hotel. Furthermore, the first part with the minivan is quite pointless because the boat terminal is only a few minutes away. So basically you'll pay a lot of money for a boat trip from the airport to your hotel and there's a lot of cheaper options if that's what you want.”
Meet your driver in Marco Polo Airport’s arrivals hall, ride by private vehicle to the boat landing, then continue by private water taxi to your Venice accommodation. The transfer takes about 35 minutes, includes up to 60 minutes of airport waiting time, and is limited to your party.
“Taxi from Airport was excellent. However water taxi just dropped us off at dock about 20 minute walk from hotel with no instruction how to get hotel.”
Travel from your Venice accommodation to Marco Polo Airport by private water taxi and, when needed, van. The service runs day and night for groups of up to eight, with English-speaking drivers, luggage help, child seats on request, and a name-sign meeting at Piazzale Roma.
“Efficient and safe. We were very glad to have booked this transfer on our last day of travels with an early flight. It made our departure from Venice a breeze. Thank you!”
Travel privately from Marco Polo Airport to your Venice accommodation with a meet-and-greet driver, 45 minutes of free waiting, and an air-conditioned vehicle. Depending on your hotel’s location, the journey may include a water taxi and porter help near the closest landing point.
“Our private water taxi transfer made our trip to Venice very special. What a wonderful way to arrive on the Grand Canal!”
