We are staying in Venice for two nights in October. We are staying in a Apartment. The owner of apartment is meeting us at motorboat stop #1 (Rialto Mercato or S.Silvestro). They have given us three different options of parking garages to park in: Garage Comunale, Garage S. Marco and Garage Tronchetto. Anyone had experience with these garages? How do I find out how much they cost? I would like to narrow the garage down to one so I know exactly where we will be going to upon arrival. Thank you.

The Tronchetto parking garage is on the island and easy to reach from the causeway. It is about 20E a day which I think is a good value for its ease of access. The number 1 (and 2) vaporetto stops there so you can get to the stop where you'll meet the apartment owner easily.

Main one at Piazzale Roma costs 24 Euro a day but we usually park there just because it's the most convenient. A few years back we parked at Tronchetto but when we went to leave it was late at night and had such a hard time trying to catch a vaporetto there that we had to walk which really sucked and so now I gladly pay the extra couple euro for P. Roma as I swore I would never do Tranchetto even again. If you want something cheaper, you can park in Mestre, just over the bridge, it's less than 10 euro a day I believe (been a couple years now) and there are trains literally every 10 minutes over the water the Venice.
