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 Podgorica Airport
Podgorica Airport (TGD) is the principal airport serving Montenegro’s capital and one of the country’s two main commercial airports. Located south of central Podgorica in the Zeta area, the airport provides convenient access to the capital as well as destinations throughout central, southern and coastal Montenegro.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private airport transfers from Podgorica Airport to hotels, residences, resorts, offices and regional destinations. Passengers can organise their transportation before travelling and continue directly from the terminal with a professional English-speaking driver rather than arranging their onward journey after arrival.
Private transfers are suitable for individual travellers, couples, families, business passengers and larger groups. Chauffeur service and long-distance transfers can also be arranged for journeys beyond Podgorica, including travel to Budva, Bar, Kotor, Ulcinj and destinations throughout Montenegro.
Getting from Podgorica Airport to the City
Podgorica Airport is located around 10 to 12 kilometres from central Podgorica. The main ground transportation options are public buses, taxis, rental cars and pre-booked private transfers.
The most suitable choice depends on the final destination, amount of luggage, passenger number and whether low cost or direct door-to-door convenience is the priority.
Public Buses from Podgorica Airport
Public bus services connect Podgorica Airport with Podgorica Central Bus Station, while some regional services continue towards other destinations. The airport bus stop is located directly in front of the passenger terminal.
Bus travel can be an economical option for independent travellers with light luggage. Passengers staying away from the central bus station, however, may still need a taxi or another local connection after reaching the city.
A private airport transfer provides direct transportation from TGD to the exact hotel, residence or business address without additional changes.
Taxis at Podgorica Airport
Taxis operate from Podgorica Airport and provide direct road transportation to the capital and destinations farther across Montenegro.
A regular taxi can be practical for passengers arranging transportation after landing. A pre-booked transfer offers greater certainty before the flight and can be particularly useful for families, groups, business travellers or passengers continuing directly to the coast.
Rental Cars
Several rental car companies operate at Podgorica Airport. Hiring a vehicle can be useful for travellers planning an independent road trip through Montenegro.
For passengers travelling directly to a hotel or resort, however, car rental also involves collection formalities, navigation and parking. A chauffeur-driven transfer provides private road transportation without these additional requirements.
Why Pre-Book a Private Transfer from TGD?
Pre-booking allows the airport journey to be organised before arrival. The pickup, destination, passenger number and vehicle requirements can all be specified in advance.
This is especially useful in Montenegro because many passengers landing at Podgorica Airport are continuing directly beyond the capital to coastal towns, resorts or mountain destinations.
Families and groups can reserve a vehicle with sufficient seating and luggage capacity rather than depending on the next available taxi.
For international visitors, travelling with an English-speaking driver can also make communication easier during the airport pickup and onward journey.
Transfers from Podgorica Airport to Central Podgorica
Central Podgorica is the main destination for many passengers arriving at TGD. The capital contains hotels, government institutions, offices, restaurants and residential districts spread across both sides of the Morača River.
The road journey from the airport is relatively short, although actual travel time varies according to traffic and the exact destination.
A private airport transfer takes passengers directly to their hotel, apartment, residence or business address without requiring another local journey after reaching the city.
Transfers from Podgorica Airport to Budva
Budva is one of Montenegro’s principal coastal tourism destinations and a frequent onward journey from Podgorica Airport. The town is known for its historic Old Town, beaches, hotels, resorts and nightlife.
The road journey from TGD to Budva is around 65 kilometres from Podgorica and typically passes through the mountainous corridor towards the Adriatic coast.
A private transfer provides direct transportation to the passenger’s hotel, apartment or resort without requiring a bus connection in Podgorica.
Podgorica Airport Transfers to Bar
Bar is an important coastal city and port south of Podgorica. It is connected with the capital by both road and rail and is one of the most convenient coastal destinations from TGD.
A private transfer provides direct transportation from the airport to hotels, residences, the port area and other addresses in Bar.
This can be particularly convenient for passengers continuing to a ferry, cruise connection or accommodation outside the centre.
Transfers from TGD to Kotor
Kotor is one of Montenegro’s best-known visitor destinations and lies on the Bay of Kotor. Although Tivat Airport is geographically closer, Podgorica Airport remains a relevant arrival point when flight schedules or fares make TGD more convenient.
A private transfer from Podgorica Airport provides direct transportation to hotels, apartments and other accommodation in Kotor without requiring passengers to change buses or travel through another transport hub.
Transfers to Ulcinj
Ulcinj lies on Montenegro’s southern Adriatic coast close to the Albanian border. It is known for its historic centre, long beaches and resort accommodation.
Podgorica Airport is a practical arrival point for Ulcinj, and direct private road transportation avoids the need to first enter central Podgorica and arrange another service.
Transfers to Lake Skadar
Lake Skadar is one of Montenegro’s most important natural attractions and lies south of Podgorica near the Albanian border. Destinations around the lake include Virpazar, countryside accommodation and national park areas.
Private transfers are particularly useful for hotels, guesthouses and rural properties that are not directly served by frequent public transport.
Chauffeur Service in Podgorica and Montenegro
WelcomeTaxi chauffeur service can be arranged for business schedules, sightseeing, events and personalised itineraries throughout Podgorica and the wider country.
Montenegro combines cities, coastal resorts, mountain destinations and national parks within a relatively compact territory, but road journeys can still take time because of mountainous terrain and seasonal traffic.
A private vehicle with driver allows passengers to travel according to their own programme rather than arranging separate taxis or buses for each journey.
Business Travel from Podgorica Airport
Podgorica is Montenegro’s administrative, political and business centre. International visitors frequently arrive through TGD for meetings, conferences and corporate travel.
A pre-booked chauffeur can provide direct transportation from the airport to an office, hotel, government institution, conference venue or meeting location.
Hourly chauffeur service can also be useful when several appointments are scheduled during the same day.
Regional Transfers across Montenegro
Podgorica Airport is well positioned for road journeys throughout central and southern Montenegro. Private regional transfers can be arranged to coastal towns, mountain resorts, hotels and other destinations where direct road transportation is more convenient than changing between public transport services.
Travellers whose final destination is outside Podgorica can continue directly from the airport rather than entering the capital simply to change transportation.
Long-Distance Transfers from Podgorica
Private long-distance transfers provide an alternative to intercity buses and trains when direct address-to-address transportation is preferred.
Journeys can be arranged from Podgorica Airport to destinations across Montenegro according to the required route and vehicle. For families and groups, travelling in one private vehicle can simplify luggage handling and eliminate intermediate transport connections.
Mountain roads and summer traffic can affect travel times significantly, particularly on routes towards the Adriatic coast.
Podgorica Airport and Tivat Airport
Montenegro has two principal commercial airports: Podgorica Airport (TGD) and Tivat Airport (TIV). TGD is the natural airport for the capital, central Montenegro and many southern destinations, while Tivat is more convenient for the Bay of Kotor and much of the northern coast.
The two airports are roughly 80 kilometres apart by road, although the actual journey can take significantly longer because of mountain roads and seasonal traffic.
For travellers visiting Budva, Kotor or other coastal destinations, the most convenient airport may therefore depend on flight availability as well as the exact location of the accommodation.
Useful Information for Arriving Passengers
Podgorica Airport uses the IATA code TGD and is officially known as Podgorica Airport. It is operated by Airports of Montenegro together with Tivat Airport.
Public buses depart from the stop in front of the terminal, while taxis and rental cars provide additional ground transportation options. The airport is approximately 12 kilometres from central Podgorica.
When booking a private airport transfer, passengers should provide the correct flight details, complete destination address, number of travellers and realistic luggage requirements. For coastal resorts and rural properties, precise accommodation information is particularly useful.
With airport transfers, chauffeur service and long-distance private transportation available from Podgorica Airport, travellers can arrange their onward journey before arrival and continue directly to Podgorica, Budva, Bar, Kotor, Ulcinj or destinations farther across Montenegro.
