Driving in Venice: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
Bring your licence, passport and credit card.
To rent a car in Venice, you’ll need a valid driving licence, passport and credit card. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended if your licence is not in English or from outside the EU.
Navigating city driving
You can’t drive into central Venice.
Driving in Venice means stopping before the historic centre. Piazzale Roma and Tronchetto are the main car drop-off points. Use a sat nav to reach these easily and switch to walking or public transport.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
Toll roads apply outside the city.
There are no tolls in Venice itself, but toll roads are common on approaches from other regions. Pay at booths with card or check if your hire car has a Telepass device.
Parking your car in Venice
Use public car parks at the city edge.
Street parking isn’t possible in Venice. Drive to Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, where multi-storey car parks are available. Booking ahead is recommended in peak season due to high visitor numbers.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find — EV charging needs planning.
You can easily fill up at petrol stations before reaching central Venice. However, EV charging stations in Venice are limited and mostly in Mestre — use Enel X or PlugShare to check locations before you travel.
Local driving style and tips
You won’t drive much in Venice itself.
Local driving rules in Venice are strict around access points. Plan to park and continue on foot. If driving in the region, expect tolls, good signage, and moderate traffic on motorways.
