The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Venice Airport to Piazzale Roma transfer.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Venice Airport to Piazzale Roma per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Piazzale Roma involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport to Piazzale Roma: is there a bus, train or metro?

The ATVO and ACTV buses reach Piazzale Roma in about 25 minutes, and the Alilaguna boat goes directly to San Marco but slowly; a car to Piazzale Roma with the driver helping the bags to the vaporetto or water taxi is the calm way in, and for Mestre hotels or Treviso it is the only sensible one.

If you are weighing the Venice Airport to Piazzale Roma options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door in Venice, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.

About Piazzale Roma

Piazzale Roma is the road terminus of historic Venice, at the end of the Ponte della Libertà causeway on the city's western edge, about 13 km south of Marco Polo Airport. Piazzale Roma is the point where the road ends and Venice's world of canals begins. It is a large square of bus stops, taxi ranks and multi-storey car parks, with vaporetto stops on the Grand Canal and water-taxi landings alongside. The modern Constitution Bridge by Santiago Calatrava crosses the Grand Canal from here to the Santa Lucia railway station, and the Giardini Papadopoli park lies beside the square. From here you continue by water or on foot into Santa Croce, San Polo and the rest of the city.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
