Six hours by road is rarely the best plan
For most travellers the train is faster and easier for the long leg. A private driver earns its place at either end (airport or hotel to the station) or when you split the trip with an overnight in Florence or Bologna. We are happy to say so if a train plus a short transfer suits you better.
Which vehicle?
We match the vehicle to your group and luggage: a sedan for up to 3 passengers, a van for up to 7, a minibus for larger groups. Tell us how many large suitcases you have and we will size it properly.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the Rome to Venice transfer take?
About 5.5–6 hours without stops. Traffic, weather and time of day can add to that, so we plan the pick-up time with a buffer for connections.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes. Popular stops are Florence, Bologna, Padua. We agree the stop time in advance so the rest of your schedule stays predictable, and price it separately from the direct transfer.
Where will the driver pick us up and drop us off?
Venice's historic centre is car-free: road transport ends at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, and guests continue by water taxi, vaporetto or on foot. We can pre-book a water-taxi leg with a partner. Your voucher shows the exact meeting point and the drop-off point before you travel.
