“Unreliable. Our ride was canceled after a four hour flight delay leaving us stranded at the airport at night. There is an app to message the driver that no one responds too and it says not to worry they track flight delays and our driver still showed up at the airport at the incorrect time. Save yourself the hassle and just would book a more reliable form of transportation”

“Really disappointing. We arrived in Pisa airport at 11.30pm having ordered a taxi to meet us weeks before. There was no taxi to meet us. Just a text message on my phone which had been sent after we have left Dublin and we were in the plane. The message said the taxi was cancelled because of lack of drivers. We were completely stranded in the middle of the night . I will never book with this company again.”

“The driver was meant to be waiting at Athens airport with a name sign in arrivals hall "A" We booked the pick up for 9.00 pm to give us time to collect bags etc... Our plane landed on time, we were at the meting point arrivals hall "A" by 9.07pm , no sign of a driver with our name. There were not that many drivers waiting so easy to identify him, had he been there as planned. As the arrivals hall emptied and still no sign after 45 mins we took a regular taxi. I did not have access to internet on my phone until I got to the hotel. The driver has sent whatap message Sent as text 6/6 8:49pm Hello, I’m a driver to pick up you from the airport when you pass the queue and get your luggage get the exit number two and stand in the second side walk and when you are there, update me to start from the parking thank you. See you soon. This was no use to me having no phone access, he should have been there waiting as planned and paid for. He would have known the plane landed on time so why wait for a customer to call you. A disappointing start to our holiday and a waste of 67 euro and another 57 euro in a taxi. And an hour of our time waiting.”

“It’s a good service but I’d recommend anyone using it to keep comms active as much as possible. I’d booked my pickup from Budapest Airport the night before, chosen a cautious pickup time, received a confirmation email and even though my flight was slightly delayed, I arrived at the gate 2-3 mins after at the arranged pickup time, so thought everything was ok. I couldn’t see anyone to meet me but after a minute my phone rang and the driver asked me to exit the airport and go to one of the bays outside. He seemed disappointed that I’d not responded to any of his messages or calls but I was surprised he’d tried to contact me as I was bang on time and had only just switched my phone out of aeroplane mode. Still polite though. My friend later told me that part of the service was to use WhatsApp to communicate with the driver, which I hadn’t, so my fault, but I just thought I needed to get out in time. Guess I’m a bit old school and thought someone would be there with my name on a bit of paper. So happy to recommend but it’s not for me. I’d rather just get the bus next time and they’re pretty regular.”

“I booked several Welcome Pickups in advance of our trip to Paris, Belgium and London to make things easier on our family. The site asks for your airline and train information. They even have messages pop up in their app that read: "The driver will be monitoring your arrival time, in order to pick you up at the correct time, regardless of any delays." This is NOT true. We were stranded on a train (operational failure) and had to wait two hours for another train to come near us so that all passengers could be transferred. I reached out to the driver and he was nice but said he could not wait. I tried reaching out to Welcome Pickups, but they have no customer service line or way to communicate. The driver told me that they don't monitor the status of trains, etc and that I would have to schedule a new pickup despite the fact that I had already paid in advance. We were not met with a driver that day. We had to scramble for a taxi and since we were traveling for 2 + weeks with 4 people, we had multiple bags and had to pay for two separate taxis. It was a very frustrating experience. The company finally reached out and said they would give me a coupon for a future booking equivalent to the transfer they didn't provide. NO THANK YOU-wont take anymore chances with this company. It's a shame too because there were a few good drivers that did their job. But, those were in situations where there were no delays outside of our control.”

“Price gouging at its finest. Charged over $151 usd for a 9 minute ride. Very bad customer service when I tried to correct it. They charged my Google pay and the amount wasn't visible until after the charge. DO NOT USE THEM!!!”

“We used this company to book a private car tour of Prague by night. I cannot recommend them enough! Our guide Tomas, took us to all of the cool places and made sure that we had plenty of photo opportunities. He would either drop us off at a spot and wait for us, or drive us directly to a spot. If you book with this company, make sure to ask for Tomas. He is excellent. This was the highlight of our trip to Prague. Excellent!!!!!”

“I was very skeptical about this service-sounded too good to be true. We were arriving late in Prague after a flight delay and concerned about getting a taxi so decided to take a chance. So glad we did! Our driver, David, was great! So good in fact, that we booked him for our return travel to the airport. Basically the same price as a taxi, but spoke English, waited for us and helped us with our luggage and a nice clean car. Highly recommend! I wouldn’t hesitate to book through this company again.”

“We got picked up from Naples. Our driver Vincenzo was very patient he waited longer as getting through security took longer than expected. On the way to the accommodation he was able to point out some places for us to visit. We were so pleased with the service, we will use again. Thank you!”

“We reserved them for a pickup at vancouver airport about a week ago. While we were in the air they sent me a text cancelling our pickup, which I received when we landed. Because they were unreliable, I cancelled the return pickup for 8 days from now that I also booked. They charged me a 20% cancellation fee. You can not rely on this business and I will never use them again”

“Exceptional Customer Support by Welcome Pickups A Review of the Outstanding Service I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional service provided by the Welcome Pickups customer support team, and I am compelled to share my glowing review. Faced with a particularly complex issue involving a delayed flight, miscommunications and a missed pickup at the Lisbon airport, I was initially apprehensive about the resolution process. However, my concerns were quickly alleviated by the professionalism, expertise, and dedication demonstrated by the entire Welcome Pickups support team. From the moment I reached out, I was greeted with a warm and understanding response. The support team took the time to listen patiently to my problem, ensuring they fully understood the intricacies involved. This level of attentiveness immediately set a positive tone for the interaction. What truly stood out was their unwavering commitment to resolving the issue. The team displayed an impressive depth of knowledge and resourcefulness, meticulously analyzing every aspect of the problem. They explored various solutions and kept me informed throughout the process, demonstrating transparency and a genuine desire to help. Their communication skills were exemplary, with clear and concise explanations that made even the most complex technical details accessible. They never hesitated to go the extra mile to ensure I was comfortable and satisfied with the progress being made. Ultimately, the customer support team was able to resolve the issue to my complete satisfaction. Their dedication, expertise, and friendly demeanor made what could have been a stressful experience into a pleasant and positive one. I am immensely grateful for their exceptional service and highly recommend Welcome Pickups in the future. Their customer support team is a shining example of what outstanding customer service should be.”

“Its Deceitful when they say 100% Refund, then when you are to cancel- there is something else that pops up that says 20% is what you are charged. Like Really, I literally did the confirming and canceling in less than 2 min. DO BETTER!!”

“Pick up at Naples airport-#w-4102754 Booking code 933329 Our driver was not in the arrival hall when we arrived. He wanted us to come outside to the parking lot. We said that we would wait inside. It took some time for him to get to the arrival hall. He was not very friendly. He seemed annoyed with us, perhaps because we said we would wait inside the arrival hall for him. However, being in the arrival hall with a sign is supposed to be part of the service. He dropped us off about a block from our B&B with a vague description of how far to walk. As to ladies in our late seventies, we had to drag our suitcases uphill over uneven ground. It was getting dark, and we had some difficulty finding the B &B, but we thought it was where he had to leave us due to narrow streets. We discovered the next day that he could have EASILY dropped us off right in front of our B&B. This is where later taxis picked us up even with our luggage. Unfortunately, this is my second time not having a good experience with Welcome Pickups. After the first time where the driver in Las Vegas was late, I thought I would try again. But now maybe I need to find another pick up service.”

“Le chauffeur est arrivé avec 10 mn de retard à l'aéroport. Il n'est pas venu à notre recontre puisqu'il nous attendait à sa voiture sur le parking extérieur. Il ne nous a pas déposées dans le bon hôtel. Après l'avoir rappelé presque aussitôt, il est revenu nous chercher, sans un mot ou une excuse en faisant la "gueule ". Mais le pire a été sa goujaterie Systématiquement, il ouvrait les portières et le coffre du véhicule depuis son tableau de bord, restant assis derrière son volant. A charge pour nous de déposer et de récupérer nos bagages dans le coffre, sachant que nous étions 2 femmes dont ma fille enceinte de 7 mois !!”

“Abdulkadir was our driver from Amsterdam Schipol to our hotel in central Amsterdam. Despite not having internet service, he waited for us - we had no trouble finding him in the pick-up area though. Friendly and recommended a few places for us to see. Highly recommend and would use him again.”
