If you're arriving in Venice with a car, you have four choices:

Stay on the car-friendly Venetian mainland (preferably in Mestre or Marghera), where you can commute into the city by train, tram, or city bus; or...
Take a No. 17 car ferry to Venice's island beach resort, the Lido di Venezia, where cars are allowed and many hotels offer parking. (From the Lido, you can easily catch a vaporetto or water bus into the historic center of Venice.
Stay at Ca' Doge or Casanova Fourrooms, two small B&Bs on the Piazzale Roma at the edge of Venice's historic center. Both B&Bs offer private parking for cars, motorcycles, and motorcycles. (Car parking isn't cheap, however.)
