To cut down the transportation cost from Venice you can consider the option to get from Venice to Triest (not the airport, but the central railway station) by train and try to get the bus or to be picked up there. The train from Venice to Trieste takes around two hours and costs around 8 euros. There's a train like every half an hour approximattely (see trenitalia). Triest isn't too far away from Portorož (compared to Venice), so in any case it should be much cheaper to get from there to Portorož, even if one doesn't manage to share transportation.
