When you arrive at Piazzale Roma you can leave your car in one of the car parks, or go to the big car park of Tronchetto island.
From Tronchetto you can reach Venice by Vaporetto nư 3 (only in the morning) and nư 4 (only in the afternoon). Otherwise you can take a ferry boat (line nư 17) from Tronchetto to the Lido.

An alternative is to leave your car in Mestre.

There are both open and covered parking directly in front of the train station and they cost a fraction of what it costs to leave your car in Venice. You can then reach Venice by train (departure every 5-10 minutes) or by numerous buses.
