Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a ride?
We recommend booking your transfer or hourly hire service at least 72 hours in advance. If you don’t have that much time, you can request an urgent transfer — we’ll let you know as soon as possible whether we can confirm it.
What pick-up time should I specify for the transfer?
If your transfer starts from an airport or railway station, please specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This helps the driver organize the meeting more accurately.
If your transfer starts from a hotel to an airport, please indicate the time you wish to be picked up at reception. You’ll need to calculate it yourself, allowing extra time for check-in. We recommend adding about 3 hours before your flight’s departure. For example, if your flight leaves at 14:00 and the trip takes 1 hour, your pick-up time should be 10:00.
How do I know if my order has been accepted?
After submitting your booking, you’ll receive an email with all trip details and your order status as “Waiting”. Once we receive and confirm your payment, the status will change to “Accepted”, and you’ll receive another email confirmation.
If you don’t receive the confirmation email, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
How do I change my booking?
To make changes to your booking, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
Important note: Requests for changes made less than 72 hours before your trip may be declined.
How can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking in two ways:
- Via the booking page on our website — use the cancellation number provided in your booking voucher, at least 72 hours before the trip.
- By contacting our support team if it’s less than 72 hours before your ride.
Important note: In case of urgent cancellation, we may not be able to refund your deposit. The free cancellation period is stated in your confirmation email.
What should I do if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed by less than 30 minutes, the driver will adjust their arrival time automatically.
If the delay is longer, please inform the driver directly (their phone number is in your confirmation voucher) or contact WelcomeTaxi Customer Support at office@welcome.taxi. Please include your order number and the new arrival time.
Important note: The driver may charge an additional fee for extended waiting time.
How will I find my driver?
For airport transfers, if you’ve added the meet-and-greet option to your order, the driver will meet you in the arrivals area — right after passport control and baggage claim. You’ll see a name sign with your first and last names (or custom text, if specified in your booking).
Important note: We strongly recommend adding the meet-and-greet option to your airport transfer booking.
For hotel pickups, the driver will wait for you in the hotel lobby. Detailed meeting instructions and your driver’s contact number are provided in your booking confirmation voucher.
How can I be sure that my driver will pick me up?
WelcomeTaxi guarantees that your driver will do their best to meet you on time.
Both you and the driver will have each other’s phone or WhatsApp number. Please keep your mobile phone switched on at the time of pickup. If you can’t reach the driver, contact our support team immediately.
I can’t find my driver. What should I do?
If you can’t find your driver, please double-check the name signs again — the driver may have missed you in the crowd.
Try calling or messaging the driver via WhatsApp. If there’s no response within the meeting time, contact our support team.
If necessary, go to the airport’s Information Desk to arrange a local taxi to your destination.
Important note: If the driver fails to meet you, we will refund your payment.

Airport Transfers and Chauffeur Service from Hurghada Airport
Hurghada International Airport (HRG) is the main gateway to Hurghada and one of the busiest airports on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. The airport serves international leisure flights, domestic connections, and seasonal charter services bringing visitors to Hurghada’s beach resorts, diving centers, marinas, and holiday communities. For many travelers, HRG is the first point of arrival before continuing to hotels in Hurghada, El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi Bay, Soma Bay, or other Red Sea destinations.
WelcomeTaxi provides private airport transfers and chauffeur service from Hurghada Airport with a focus on comfort, reliability, and clear pre-booked arrangements. Instead of negotiating with a taxi after arrival or searching for local transport with luggage, you can book your transfer in advance and travel directly from the airport to your hotel, villa, resort, marina, or private address.
Getting from Hurghada Airport to the City
Hurghada Airport is located close to the main tourist areas of the city, which makes airport transfers relatively short compared with many other international resort destinations. Depending on your hotel location and local traffic, a transfer to central Hurghada or the main hotel strip can often be completed quickly. Transfers to resort areas outside the city, such as El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi Bay, Soma Bay, and Safaga, take longer and are better arranged in advance, especially for families, groups, or late-night arrivals.
Transportation options from the airport usually include local taxis, hotel shuttles, tour operator buses, private transfers, and pre-arranged chauffeur services. Public transport is not the most convenient option for most international visitors arriving with luggage, and routes can be difficult to use without local knowledge. For this reason, many travelers prefer a direct private transfer from HRG to their accommodation.
Regular Taxis from Hurghada Airport
Regular taxis may be available at the airport, but the travel experience can vary. Prices may need to be agreed before departure, and communication can sometimes be challenging for visitors who do not speak Arabic. During busy arrival periods, holiday seasons, or late evenings, it may also take extra time to find a suitable vehicle, especially if you travel with children, sports equipment, or several suitcases.
A regular taxi can be practical for a short, simple ride inside Hurghada, but it is not always ideal for longer routes or for travelers who need a larger vehicle, child seats, a clear pickup plan, or an English-speaking driver.
Hotel and Tour Operator Transfers
Some hotels and tour operators offer shared or private airport transfers. These can be convenient when included in a package, but shared shuttles may involve waiting for other passengers and stopping at several hotels before reaching your own. For travelers who value privacy, direct routing, and flexible vehicle choice, a dedicated private transfer is usually more comfortable.
Private Airport Transfers from HRG
A private airport transfer from Hurghada Airport is the most convenient option for travelers who want a smooth arrival. Your route, pickup time, vehicle class, and destination are arranged before travel. The driver meets you according to the booking details and takes you directly to your destination without unnecessary stops.
WelcomeTaxi can arrange private transfers from HRG for solo travelers, couples, families, business visitors, diving groups, and larger parties. Vehicle options may include sedans, SUVs, minivans, vans, minibuses, and coaches depending on the number of passengers, luggage, and local availability. This is especially useful in Hurghada, where visitors often travel with diving equipment, golf bags, beach luggage, or family baggage.
Private airport transfers are also useful for arrivals outside normal daytime hours. Many flights to Hurghada arrive in the evening or at night, and a pre-booked transfer removes the stress of arranging transport after a long flight.
Chauffeur Service in Hurghada
WelcomeTaxi is not limited to one-way airport transfers. Chauffeur service in Hurghada can be arranged for business travel, resort transfers, meetings, private errands, shopping trips, marina transfers, or evening transportation. A chauffeur service is a good choice when you need a car and driver for several hours rather than a single point-to-point ride.
Hourly chauffeur hire can be useful for visitors who want to move between hotels, beaches, restaurants, marinas, and local attractions without relying on separate taxis each time. It can also work well for corporate guests, event organizers, travel agents, and families who prefer one planned transportation solution during their stay.
Transfers to Red Sea Resorts and Nearby Destinations
Hurghada Airport is often used as an arrival point not only for Hurghada itself, but also for surrounding Red Sea resort areas. WelcomeTaxi can arrange private transfers from HRG to popular destinations along the coast, including El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi Bay, Soma Bay, Safaga, and other nearby resort zones.
For travelers staying outside the city, pre-booking is particularly important. Local taxi availability and prices can be less predictable for longer routes, and not every vehicle at the airport may be suitable for a group or for substantial luggage. With a private transfer, the correct vehicle type can be selected before arrival, and the route is confirmed in advance.
Long-Distance Transfers from Hurghada Airport
Hurghada is also a starting point for longer journeys across Egypt. Long-distance transfers from Hurghada Airport may be requested to destinations such as Luxor, Marsa Alam, Cairo, Qena, Safaga Port, or other cities and resort areas. These journeys require more planning than a short city transfer, because travel times are longer, road conditions vary, and vehicle comfort becomes more important.
A pre-booked long-distance transfer gives travelers a clearer plan before departure. It is especially valuable for families, private groups, cruise passengers, divers, and travelers combining Hurghada with cultural destinations such as Luxor or Nile Valley itineraries. Instead of arranging a ride locally at the last moment, you can confirm the vehicle, schedule, luggage capacity, and pickup details in advance.
Why Book a Private Transfer Instead of Taking a Taxi?
The main advantage of a pre-booked transfer is predictability. After landing at Hurghada Airport, you already know who is responsible for the ride, where you are going, and what type of vehicle has been arranged. This is helpful in a busy tourist airport where many passengers arrive at the same time and local transport offers can feel confusing.
Private transfers are also better suited to travelers who want a higher level of comfort. Families may need child seats or extra luggage space. Groups may require a van or minibus. Business travelers may prefer a clean, quiet vehicle and a professional chauffeur. Visitors arriving late at night may simply want to reach their hotel without bargaining or waiting.
Another important benefit is communication. WelcomeTaxi works with English-speaking drivers where available, making the arrival process easier for international travelers. This is particularly useful when the destination is a resort, villa, marina, or private address rather than a major hotel.
Useful Travel Information for Hurghada Airport
When booking a transfer from Hurghada Airport, it is useful to provide your flight number, arrival date, pickup time, passenger count, luggage details, and hotel or address information. Resort names in the Red Sea area can sometimes be similar, so a complete destination name helps avoid confusion. If you are staying in a large resort complex, adding the hotel building, reception point, or reservation name can also be helpful.
Travelers with diving bags, sports equipment, strollers, or oversized luggage should mention this before booking, as it may affect vehicle selection. For longer transfers from HRG, comfort and luggage space are especially important, and a van or minibus may be more suitable than a standard sedan.
Hurghada is a major leisure destination, and airport traffic can be busier during peak holiday periods, school vacations, and evening arrival waves. Pre-booking your airport transfer helps reduce uncertainty and gives you a more organized start to your stay in Egypt.
