Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Chioggia

[conman]

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?

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.

The only transfer company I've seen on this forum was VQTravels. 

Or try GoOpti ; they have shared or private transfers

It would be interesting to see how the prices compare.

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)

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.

if you're on azamara there is a LIVE trip report with  chioggia disembarkation info.

Look at LIVE CRUISE REPORTS in the blue banner at the top of this page.

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.
