Water taxiorWelcome Pickups transfer to Treviso Airport from Marco Polo?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Water taxi reaches the historic city — San Marco and the islands within it; the Welcome Pickups transfer to Treviso Airport from Marco Polo does not. The other airport, not the city. A door-to-door transfer between the two airports.

The Water taxi is quicker: 30 min against 50 min.

Water taxi: Runs all night. Welcome Pickups transfer to Treviso Airport from Marco Polo: Runs all night.

It may legally carry up to twenty people — the municipal regulation caps a licence at twenty, and operators run boats seating about ten. That is far more than the four almost every other airport taxi allows.

It still does not beat the boat service for a group, because the fare stops being flat above four people: eight travelers pay EUR 150.00 against EUR 144.00 on Alilaguna. It only pulls ahead at nine.

Between 00:00 and 07:00, check you are buying a boat. The operators' own consortium warns that at those hours an airport booking may mean a car to Piazzale Roma and a boat onward.

A flat EUR 10.00 is added to the whole fare between 22:00 and 06:00.

This is the only option that can reach a hotel door, where a canal allows it — which for some addresses with luggage is the whole argument.
