conman Posted July 13 #1 Share Posted July 13 Some older threads on transportation to and from. Thought I would provide an update. Just priced out through Welcome Pickups, who I’ve used several times, the cost one way. Not a long ride, approx one hour but wow $260+ for four of us in a van. I was guessing roughly half that amount. I know the bus is a cheaper alternative. Anyone have any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted July 13 #2 Share Posted July 13 It's about 60 km/38 miles one way and will take at least an hour, so that's not really a high price given that the driver has to return empty and be paid for that trip as well. Here is the bus schedule, line #85: Orari e percorsi - Arriva Veneto The last stop on the bus line, Piazzale Europa, still leaves you about 2.5 km/1.5 miles from the ship. You could do a bus to the Mestre Train station, then the train to Padova, and a bus to Chioggia Sottomarina (the bus is provided by Trenitalia, all one ticket from Mestre), but that sounds like a whole lot of wasted effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or try GoOpti ; they have shared or private transfers It would be interesting to see how the prices compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted July 13 #4 Share Posted July 13 Here are a couple of other transfer companies to reach out to: Transfer service | Autoservizi Delfino Venice and Mestre Taxis: Venice Radiotaxi Cooperative, the main authorized taxis (radiotaxivenezia.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo2005 Posted July 14 #5 Share Posted July 14 I've been pricing this route, too, in reverse for Chioggia to Venice hotel, post cruise. I'm finding the door-to-door (door to dock? :)) to be about 300 Euro for party of 2. Venice hotel said they can arrange; theirs too was 300E.

conman Posted August 11 Author #7 Share Posted August 11 As a follow up I just booked through Welcome Pickups both transfers to and from Chioggia from Venice Airport. $270 both directions for four of us and four bags. Seems high to me but it is what it is. I have booked through them in the past and have been mostly satisfied. Five years ago I booked transportation from Athens to the airport. Excellent driver and a nice vehicle. When we arrived to the airport I tried to give him a tip and he would not take it. He told me the price was all inclusive. Looks like they are now encouraging tips if you are happy with the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
