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.

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.

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.

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.
