venice parking
 

Can anyone tell me the cost to park at the Piazzale Roma in Venice. I need to compare the price to park to the cost to take a water taxi from the aiport since I will be driving in from elsewhere.

Hi chris,

I believe that it is 20E/day.

PS,

There are other ways toget from the airport into Venice.

There is a bus to Pzza Roma for about 5E and the alilaguna ferry for about 10E.

Many hotels offer discounts on parking.

My rate (at Locanda Gaffaro) includes: "Taxes, Service, Breakfast, 20 % discount San Marco parking, 10 % discount at San Marco Garage," and I found language of this nature fairly standard when I was hotel-hunting. The parking discounts are irrelevant to me, as I will not have a car. But I thought you'd like to know about them.

I may be misreading your question, but
are you driving anywhere after Venice? (if not definitely dump the car upon arrival).

You can also drop the car off at the car rental places at piazza roma instead of at the airport.
At that point you can take a water taxi to where you are going (should be much less than from the airport) or just hop on the vaporetto.

mclaurie/eschule - thanks for the advice. It is most helpful. I am not traveling past Venice but the car costs the same whether I drop it early or not. So I needed to compare parking to getting back to the airport costs and time issues. This helps alot.

"The private Garage San Marco (Piazzale Roma 467/f, end of S11 road, Santa Croce, PHONE: 041/5232213) costs EUR19 for up to 12 hours, and EUR26 for 12-24 hours (EUR1 supplement if you collect your car between 10 PM and 6 AM). Only Garage San Marco accepts reservations for stays of more than two nights.

To reach the privately run Tronchetto (PHONE: 041/5207555) parking area, follow the signs to turn right before Piazzale Roma. Parking costs EUR18 for every 24 hours.

The Venetian Hoteliers Association, known locally as the AVA, has arranged a discount of 20% per day for hotel guests who use the Garage San Marco or the Tronchetto facility. Ask for a stamped voucher upon checking into your hotel and present it at the parking area when you pay."
