Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE)
Venice is the one destination on our network where a chauffeur cannot simply drive you to your hotel — the historic centre is entirely car-free. Instead, your Black Transfer chauffeur handles everything up to the water's edge, then coordinates a seamless handoff to a private water taxi for the final leg into the city.
How the handoff works
Because no car can cross into central Venice, every airport transfer here has a built-in handoff point. We plan and coordinate the whole journey as a single booking, so the switch from road to water feels like one continuous transfer rather than two separate trips.
Your chauffeur tracks your flight and is waiting inside the arrivals hall with a name board, exactly as at any other airport.
You're driven directly to Piazzale Roma or the Tronchetto landing stage — whichever suits your final destination and luggage best.
A private water taxi is timed to your arrival, so there's no standing around at the dock waiting for the next connection.
The water taxi takes you directly to your hotel's private landing or the nearest accessible dock — door to water to door.
Venice's cobbled bridges and narrow calli are unforgiving on wheeled cases, so we plan luggage handling into both legs of the journey — your chauffeur loads and unloads at the road stage, and the water-taxi crew takes over from the dock, so you're never the one carrying bags across a bridge.
If your Venice arrival is the start of a cruise rather than a hotel stay, the same coordinated handoff applies to the passenger cruise terminal — arranged in advance so your chauffeur and, where needed, your water connection are timed to your ship's boarding schedule.
See our Venice city guide for getting around the canals, the best districts and what to see once you've arrived.
One coordinated booking, from the arrivals hall to your hotel's private landing.
