“This is undoubtedly the most unreliable and irresponsible company that offers a professional pick-up and collection, but fails to take any responsibility for their services. They were advised that the pickup at the airport had changed and given over 2 and a half hours to re-arrange pickup. Arrived at airport to find no driver waiting. On collection from the hotel, they advised text/email of the collection time to take us to the airport in goof time to catch our flight. We got to the airport too late to catch our flight and spent almost £800 to purchase new flight tickets. They total refute to take any responsibility for their failures!!”

Dear Traveler, It's truly disheartening to hear of your poor experience. Please know that not rescheduling your airport pickup in the case of a flight delay is far from the norm, and we will be working closely with other departments internally to ensure it remains that way. We are sorry to learn you were disappointed with your experience, certainly, we value the loyalty and trust of our customers and strive to deliver the best possible experience. For this reason, after booking your transfer you may always update your reservation online up to 12 hours prior to operation time, to ensure a smooth and convenient pickup based on your needs. Please kindly check your email as we have received your complaint and a member of our Customer Care team has emailed you and is eager to discuss this with you further. We would highly appreciate it if you could take some time and discuss this with our representative to further share your thoughts! We hope to hear from you soon! Thank you.

“We booked a return transfer from Amsterdam Schipol airport to hotel since we were landing @ 03:00 am in Amsterdam and being the first time we didn’t want to deal with taxis or buses at that hour. Our ride was cancelled as they could not get a driver. They took the money and according to me they should provide the transfer. They can’t cancel at the last hour. The next horror was our return transfer. The driver did not contact and came 10 minutes late. After that he refused to take us as we had 4 big check in bags & 3 small cabin bags. The website asked for number of bags and I assumed they are talking about checkin bags as they are hard to fit in. We travelled through 3 countries with the same luggage and never had a problem with fitting them into the boots of even smaller cars. This car was of a decent size and would have easily fitted but the driver was very rude and out rightly refused to take us. We had to book another taxi and goto the airport. Welcomepickup refused to give us a refund saying we said 4 pieces of luggage in our booking. If we have to specify handbags as well, then they should specify the sizes of luggage. Don’t go near welcomepickup at least in Amsterdam.”

“We booked 2 halves, an airport pickup and an airport return. We left early and cancelled our airport pickup because we couldn't reschedule the pickup. They cancelled our return trip instead and stole our money because their website sucks!!! AVOID THESE PEOPLE!!!!!”

“This company's booking website needs to STATE UP FRONT that any size "hand luggage" (including purses, backpacks) will count as "luggage." The charge for "extra" luggage was also shocking. The booking web-page only asked the buyer for + or - number of "checked luggage." What a trap.”

“Booked and paid for a transfer months before we flew out to Corfu, even after emailing several times stating that I had not received the contact details or photo of our driver as per their booking procedure, I was reassured that the transfer was indeed confirmed, even though I still hadn't received the details when we boarded the plane. Reached our destination and when I switched on my phone I had an email saying our transfer was cancelled and they had tried to contact me (while I was ON THE PLANE) - we were left stranded in the airport with no clue what to do. Eventually got into a taxi. The whole situation was made worse by the fact that our flight arrived late at night (hence why i booked a transfer well in advance) and we had two tired and hungry children with us. Will never use this company again.”

“Although the driver that picked us up at Barcelona El Prat Airport was on time and very kind and friendly, we were charged 81 euros for a one-way trip from the airport to our destination on La Rambla at Place Real which is only about 30 minutes distance from the airport. We decided to hail a taxi for our return to the airport rather than use Welcome Pick-Up again and this time, the taxi, carrying the 4 of us, 4 check-in bags and 2 carry-ons charged us only 30 euros. This means we were overcharged by 51 euros! You can be sure we won't be using your services again for that price! When we booked at first, we wanted a regular sedan which, by the way, does fit all our luggage. Instead, the girl on your end insisted that we would need a van to carry all that luggage because she said there is a policy that your drivers are not permitted to put carry-ons in the back seat along with the passengers seated there so that my purse (carry-on) would have to go in the trunk. But, all the taxi drivers in Barcelona told me they don't have this rule so actually, it is inconvenient to book your services because we can't keep purses on our lap while travelling in the back seat of your vehicles. In the end, it's the ridiculous price I was charged for a one-way transfer that made me realize it was not worth booking our return trip with your company.”

“Mi recogida en el Aeropuerto de Lisboa fue nefasta. El conductor Pedro Lopes colocó el cartel con mi Nombre en un lugar poco visible y junto a otros muchísimos carteles de otras agencias, lo que impidió localizarlo. No contestó a 2 llamadas telefónicas que le hicimos. Una Srta. de otra empresa de traslados, al ver que no localizabamos a nuestro chofer, fue tan amable de preguntar a quién buscabamos y pronunció en voz alta el nombre de Pedro Lopes, sin resultado. Después de buscar en la zona, con la "diminuta" foto que me mandaron, conseguí encontrarlo sentado en una varandilla y sin preocuparse por la situación. Cuando, al fin, hablamos, me comentó que El solo hablaba inglés, sin ni siquiera hablar en Portugués. Fué un viaje "mudo" hasta el Hotel Lisboa. Es evidente que nunca más contrataré un traslado con ustedes ni lo recomendaré a nadie. El día de traslado fué el 04/07/19”

“We have booked a transfer from Corfu Airport to Corfu Port.Upon arrival to the Corfu Airport there was no driver to be seen with our name/surname. I called Welcome Pickups (cost a fortune) and asked about the driver.They said that " my driver is still pending".........How unacceptable is that. I said if they won't send a driver in the next 10 minutes I want a full refund. Of course they couldn't do it and I was informed that refund may take 5-7 days ( refund received 3 days later). So we had to find another way of transport to the port in a hurry to make sure we will get on time to catch a ferry to Albania. We made it,but it supposed to be stress free and it wasn't. The same day I received an email about refund notification.After that an email about last minute cancellation from the driver (we were already in Albania) that was appointed to our transfer.And another email to book a return transfer. How ridiculous is that. If you cannot provide a service you inform a customer and you don't take the money. Very dis organized,sending lots of emails contradicting each other and not listening to the customers.NEVER AGAIN!”

“When we arrived at Ciampino airport we were meet with a text to tell us that our driver was not going to come and that we had to find our own way to the hotel which was over an hour by taxi. On the return trip I tried for 3 days to contact Welcome Pickups by phone and text so that they could confirm that there would be someone to take us to the airport in time to be sure of catching our plane. As I was unable to get a response from Welcome Pickups I had to make other arrangements to be sure of catching my flight. While I was at the airport preparing to board my plane I got a message from Welcome Pickups to tell me that a driver was at the hotel to take me to the airport, Welcome Pickups then had the cheek to charge me for taking me to the airport. Welcome Pickups are very dis-organised sending lots of emails contradicting each other and not listening or understanding the customer. Use this company at your peril. Peyter Cochrane”

“I was informed at the time of booking that I would receive a mail four days before telling me the name of my driver and all of his details, this didn't happen so the day before travelling I asked why. I was flying to Madrid via Dusseldorf and whilst sitting on the plane in Germany at 11.56 four minutes before take off I recieved a txt cancelling my pickup as my driver had become unavailable and a replacement couldn't be found. To say I was furious is an understatement. I used a line taxi which was actually 5 euros cheaper. I have heard of other people who were let down in Madrid that weekend. Would never trust this company again. Disgusted.”
