€500 fixed, per vehicle, up to 7 passengers. The price includes motorway tolls, parking, meet & greet at arrivals and drop-off at the cruise terminal or any city address.

About 1 hour 50 minutes for the 160 km, almost entirely on the A4 motorway. It is the fastest of our cruise-port routes and the one least affected by weather.

03

How it works

Four steps, no surprises

Tell us the trip

Route, date, flight, luggage. Prices are published on every route page, so you know the range before you write.

We confirm your price

A real person checks your request and replies by email, 08:00 to 18:00 CET. You secure the booking by paying in advance, and the vehicle is held for you. Send us your flight number and we track it: the pickup shifts automatically if you land early or late.

Meet your driver

Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall with a name sign, takes the luggage and walks you to the car.

Door to door

about 1 hour 50 minutes later you are at your address in Trieste. Nothing changes hands on the day: the fare was settled when you confirmed.

Cruise terminal & city centre

One route, two very different drop-offs

Stazione Marittima, terminal side

For MSC and Royal Caribbean departures we drive onto the terminal forecourt where the porters are, not to the public car park. Give us the ship name and sailing time and we plan the pickup around the boarding window.

City centre and hotels

Trieste's centre is compact and largely ZTL-restricted. As a licensed NCC we can access the restricted zone, so you are dropped at your hotel door rather than at the edge of the old town.

Disembarkation and onward flights

Morning transfers from the terminal to Venice Airport leave from 06:00. The A4 is predictable, so a 3-hour margin before an international departure is comfortable.

Slovenia and Croatia connections

Trieste is 30 minutes from the Slovenian border. We also run Ljubljana, Piran, Portorož and Istria. Ask for a fixed quote when you book.

FAQ

Venice Airport to Trieste: your questions

How much is a taxi from Venice Airport to Trieste?

A metered taxi runs about €350–420 for the 160 km. Our private transfer is €500 fixed, booked in advance with a driver waiting inside arrivals.

Is there a direct train from Venice Airport to Trieste?

Not from the airport. You would take the bus to Venice Mestre station and a train onward, around 3 h 30 in total with a change and your luggage. Trains run to Trieste Centrale, a 15-minute walk from the cruise terminal.

Do you drop off at the Stazione Marittima cruise terminal?

Yes, right at the terminal building. Tell us your ship and sailing time and we schedule the pickup so you arrive inside the boarding window.

Can you take us into the ZTL restricted zone?

Yes. Licensed NCC vehicles are authorised to enter Trieste's restricted traffic zone, so we reach hotels in the old town that ordinary cars cannot.

Do you cover Slovenia and Croatia from Venice Airport?

Yes: Ljubljana, Bled, Piran, Portorož, Rovinj and Pula are all regular runs. Message us with your destination and we quote a fixed all-inclusive price.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle. €500 covers up to 7 passengers with luggage; for larger groups we send a Sprinter minibus at a fixed supplement.
