Venice (historic centre) is about 13 km from Venice Marco Polo Airport, around 20 minutes by car in good conditions (our estimate, not yet confirmed). The last rental desk to close is Sixt, Avis / Budget and Hertz, at midnight that evening (not yet confirmed).

Out-of-hours pick-up, arranged before you fly: Locauto / Enterprise / Alamo (until 00:30) and Europcar (until midnight). Public transport (not yet confirmed): ATVO express coaches and ACTV bus 5 run to Piazzale Roma (about 20 min, €10–12) and Mestre station; ACTV runs until about 01:10 and ATVO has night departures.

Why this is best

  • ATVO express coaches and ACTV bus 5 run to Piazzale Roma (about 20 min, €10–12) and Mestre station; ACTV runs until about 01:10 and ATVO has night departures.

Why not “Taxi from the rank”? It costs €30 more and you'd arrive at about the same time. Our pick balances cost, time and risk.
