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 Tivat Airport
Tivat Airport (TIV) is one of Montenegro's two main commercial airports and the principal aviation gateway to the Bay of Kotor and much of the Montenegrin coast. Located only a few kilometres from central Tivat, it is particularly convenient for travellers heading to Tivat, Kotor, Porto Montenegro, Budva, Herceg Novi and nearby coastal resorts.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private airport transfers from Tivat Airport to hotels, villas, marinas, residences and regional destinations. Passengers can organise their transportation before travelling and continue directly from the terminal with an English-speaking driver rather than arranging their onward journey after landing.
Private transfers are suitable for individual travellers, couples, families and larger groups. Chauffeur service and long-distance transfers can also be arranged for journeys throughout coastal Montenegro and to destinations farther across the country.
Getting from Tivat Airport to Your Destination
Tivat Airport is exceptionally close to the town itself, but many arriving passengers continue directly to destinations elsewhere around the Bay of Kotor or along the Adriatic coast. The main practical transport options are taxis, rental cars and pre-booked private transfers.
Unlike some larger European airports, Tivat does not have a rail connection or a dedicated high-frequency airport express system. Travellers relying on public transport may need to reach nearby roadside or town bus stops before continuing their journey.
Taxis from Tivat Airport
Taxis are available at Tivat Airport and provide direct transportation to nearby towns and resorts. They are a convenient option for passengers who prefer to organise their journey after arrival.
A pre-booked transfer offers greater certainty before the flight. The destination, vehicle type and passenger requirements can be arranged in advance, which is particularly useful for families, larger groups and travellers continuing beyond Tivat itself.
Public Transport
Regional buses operate along the main coastal roads and connect Tivat with destinations such as Kotor, Budva and Herceg Novi. However, Tivat Airport itself is not served by the type of dedicated airport bus network found at larger international hubs.
Passengers using scheduled buses may need to walk from the airport or arrange a short local journey to a suitable stop or bus station. For travellers carrying luggage, a private transfer provides a simpler door-to-door alternative.
Rental Cars
Car rental is popular in Montenegro because many beaches, towns and scenic destinations are spread along the coast and through mountainous areas. A rental vehicle can be useful for visitors planning to explore independently over several days.
For passengers who do not want to drive immediately after a flight, a chauffeur-driven transfer avoids rental formalities, navigation and parking while still providing private road transportation.
Why Pre-Book a Private Transfer from TIV?
Tivat Airport serves a tourism region where accommodation is widely distributed among coastal towns, hillside villas, marinas and resort areas. The most convenient journey is therefore often directly from the terminal to the exact property rather than to a central transport hub.
With a pre-booked transfer, passengers can specify the pickup, destination, number of travellers and luggage requirements before arrival. This makes it easier to select a vehicle with appropriate capacity and avoids arranging transport after collecting baggage.
Door-to-door service is particularly useful for families and groups, as well as travellers staying in villas or smaller hotels outside major town centres.
Transfers from Tivat Airport to Tivat and Porto Montenegro
Central Tivat is only a short drive from the airport. The town has developed into one of Montenegro's most important coastal tourism and yachting destinations.
Porto Montenegro is a major marina and waterfront development with hotels, restaurants, residences and berths for private yachts. A private transfer from TIV provides direct transportation to hotels, apartments or marina meeting points without the need for additional local transport.
Marina transfers are particularly convenient for passengers arriving with sailing equipment or several pieces of luggage.
Tivat Airport Transfers to Kotor
Kotor is one of the main destinations served by Tivat Airport and lies only a short distance around the Bay of Kotor. Its UNESCO-listed historic centre, waterfront and surrounding mountains make it one of Montenegro's most popular visitor destinations.
Tivat is by far the most convenient airport for Kotor when suitable flights are available. A private transfer provides direct transportation from the terminal to a hotel, apartment or other address in Kotor without requiring a bus connection.
Journey times can vary because traffic around the bay becomes significantly heavier during the summer season.
Transfers from Tivat Airport to Budva
Budva is another major resort destination within easy reach of Tivat Airport. The town is known for its historic Old Town, beaches, hotels, restaurants and nightlife.
Regional buses connect Tivat and Budva, while a private transfer offers direct transportation from the airport to the passenger's accommodation. This can be particularly convenient for passengers arriving with substantial luggage or staying at a resort outside central Budva.
Transfers to Herceg Novi
Herceg Novi lies on the western side of the Bay of Kotor close to the Croatian border. It is a popular destination for hotels, apartments, resorts and longer stays on the Montenegrin coast.
The road journey from Tivat can involve either the coastal route around the bay or the Kamenari-Lepetane ferry, depending on traffic and route conditions. A pre-booked transfer allows the driver to use the most appropriate route for the journey.
Chauffeur Service around the Bay of Kotor
WelcomeTaxi chauffeur service can be arranged for sightseeing, marina transfers, business travel, events and personalised itineraries around Tivat and the Bay of Kotor.
The bay contains historic towns, waterfront villages, marinas, resorts and scenic viewpoints distributed around a relatively compact but geographically complex coastline. A private vehicle with driver allows travellers to visit several locations according to their own schedule.
Chauffeur service can also be useful for guests staying at villas or hotels away from regular public transport routes.
Regional Transfers across Coastal Montenegro
Tivat Airport is well positioned for journeys along the Montenegrin coast. Private transfers can be arranged to resorts, marinas, towns and accommodation beyond the immediate Bay of Kotor area.
Travellers whose final destination is outside Tivat can continue directly from the airport rather than entering the town simply to change transport.
This is particularly convenient for families, groups and passengers carrying substantial luggage.
Long-Distance Transfers from Tivat
Private long-distance transfers provide an alternative to scheduled buses when travellers prefer direct door-to-door transportation. Journeys can be arranged from Tivat Airport to destinations elsewhere in Montenegro according to the required route and vehicle.
Because Montenegro combines coastal roads with mountainous terrain, road distances do not always reflect actual journey times. Travellers should allow sufficient time for longer routes, especially during summer traffic or when crossing mountain areas.
Chauffeur-driven transportation can also be useful for itineraries involving several stops or accommodation changes.
Tivat Airport, Podgorica Airport and Dubrovnik Airport
Tivat is one of several airports relevant to travellers visiting Montenegro's Adriatic coast. Podgorica Airport (TGD) is Montenegro's other main commercial airport and is particularly useful when Tivat has limited seasonal flight availability.
Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) in neighbouring Croatia is also geographically close to the Bay of Kotor and can be a practical alternative for some travellers. However, journeys between Dubrovnik Airport and Montenegro require an international border crossing, so travel times can vary considerably depending on border traffic.
For destinations such as Tivat and Kotor, TIV remains the most convenient airport when an appropriate flight is available.
Useful Information for Arriving Passengers
Tivat Airport uses the IATA code TIV and is operated by Airports of Montenegro. It is one of the country's two principal commercial airports, together with Podgorica Airport.
Taxis and rental cars are the most straightforward local transport options directly from the terminal, while regional buses operate along nearby coastal routes.
When booking a private airport transfer, passengers should provide the correct flight details, complete destination address, number of travellers and realistic luggage requirements. For villas, marinas and smaller properties, precise location information is particularly useful.
With airport transfers, chauffeur service and long-distance private transportation available from Tivat Airport, visitors can arrange their onward journey before travelling and continue directly to Tivat, Kotor, Budva, Herceg Novi or another destination across Montenegro.
