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 Tallinn Airport
Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport (TLL) is the main international airport serving Tallinn and the principal air gateway to Estonia. Located only about four kilometres from the city centre, it is unusually close to the capital and provides convenient access to central Tallinn, surrounding districts and destinations throughout the country.
WelcomeTaxi offers pre-booked private airport transfers from Tallinn Airport to hotels, apartments, business addresses and regional destinations. Passengers can arrange their transportation before travelling and continue directly from the terminal with an English-speaking driver instead of choosing between local transport options after arrival.
Private transfers are suitable for individual travellers, couples, families, business passengers and groups. Chauffeur service and long-distance transfers can also be arranged for journeys beyond Tallinn, including travel to Tartu, Pärnu and other destinations across Estonia.
Getting from Tallinn Airport to the City
Tallinn Airport is one of the most conveniently located European capital airports. Because the terminal is only a short distance from central Tallinn, passengers have several practical ways to reach the city, including public buses, taxis, app-based transport, rental cars, car-sharing services and pre-booked private transfers.
The best choice depends on the exact destination, amount of luggage, passenger number and whether convenience or minimum cost is the main priority.
Public Buses from Tallinn Airport
Tallinn's public transport network provides regular bus connections between the airport and the city. Bus routes 2 and 15 connect the airport area with central Tallinn, while other routes provide connections to different districts of the metropolitan area.
Public buses are inexpensive and can be an excellent choice for passengers travelling with light luggage and staying close to a convenient stop. Tickets can be purchased using the local public transport system, and contactless payment is also available for individual journeys.
Travellers staying in a hotel or apartment away from a direct bus route may still need to walk or make another connection. A private airport transfer provides direct transportation to the booked address instead.
Taxis at Tallinn Airport
Taxis are available directly in front of the passenger terminal. Tallinn Airport works with official taxi partners, giving arriving passengers a straightforward option for journeys into the city.
Taxi fares in Estonia are not generally fixed by law, so passengers should check the applicable pricing before beginning the journey. For a short spontaneous ride into central Tallinn, an airport taxi can be practical. Travellers who prefer to know that a suitable vehicle has been organised before arrival can instead pre-book a private transfer.
Ride-Hailing and Car-Sharing
App-based transportation is widely used in Tallinn. Services such as Bolt and Uber provide another option for airport journeys, while car-sharing services are also available for passengers who prefer to drive themselves.
These services can work well for flexible local travel, particularly for passengers already familiar with the city. A pre-booked transfer may be preferable when travelling with a larger group, substantial luggage or a fixed onward itinerary.
Rental Cars
Rental car companies operate at Tallinn Airport, making independent driving a practical option for visitors planning to explore Estonia over several days. Estonia has a good road network, and a rental car can be useful for rural itineraries or trips involving numerous stops.
For travellers whose immediate destination is simply a hotel in Tallinn, renting a car is often unnecessary. A private transfer eliminates the need to complete rental formalities, navigate immediately after a flight or arrange parking in the city.
Why Pre-Book a Private Transfer from TLL?
Although Tallinn Airport is close to the city centre and offers convenient local transportation, a pre-booked private transfer provides a different level of simplicity. The pickup, destination and vehicle requirements are arranged before the passenger arrives.
Door-to-door transportation is particularly useful when carrying several suitcases, travelling with children or arriving as part of a group. Instead of walking from a bus stop or coordinating several vehicles, passengers travel directly to their hotel, apartment or business address.
Pre-booking also allows travellers to select a vehicle appropriate for both passenger and luggage requirements. This can be particularly important for families and larger groups who cannot comfortably use a standard sedan.
For business passengers, a private transfer provides a direct connection from Tallinn Airport to an office, conference venue, hotel or meeting without spending additional time arranging transportation after landing.
Transfers to Tallinn City Centre and Old Town
Tallinn's historic Old Town is one of the best-preserved medieval urban centres in Europe and the main destination for many leisure visitors. Hotels and apartments are located both inside the historic district and around its perimeter.
The airport is geographically close to central Tallinn, but access to an exact accommodation address can still involve walking from a public transport stop, sometimes over cobbled streets. This may be inconvenient with heavy luggage, especially during winter conditions.
A private airport transfer takes passengers directly to the booked address or the nearest practical vehicle access point, providing a simple arrival experience after the flight.
Chauffeur Service in Tallinn
WelcomeTaxi chauffeur service can be arranged for more than a straightforward airport pickup. A private vehicle with driver can be used for business schedules, sightseeing, events and itineraries involving several locations in Tallinn or elsewhere in Estonia.
Tallinn combines a compact historic centre with modern commercial and residential districts such as Kesklinn, Ülemiste and areas around the harbour. Business travellers may need transportation between the airport, offices, hotels, restaurants and conference venues during the same day.
Using a chauffeur service allows these journeys to be organised as part of one planned itinerary rather than arranging a separate taxi each time transportation is required.
Regional Transfers from Tallinn Airport
Tallinn Airport is also a convenient starting point for travel beyond the capital. Estonia is relatively compact, making many important cities and destinations practical to reach by road directly from TLL.
Private regional transfers can be particularly useful when a passenger wants to continue immediately after landing rather than travel into central Tallinn to connect with an intercity bus or other service.
Destinations can include coastal towns, countryside hotels, business locations and other parts of northern and central Estonia. Door-to-door service is especially useful when the final accommodation is not close to a railway or coach station.
Private Transfers from Tallinn Airport to Tartu
Tartu is Estonia's second-largest city and an important university, cultural and business centre. It lies south-east of Tallinn and is connected with the capital by road, rail and intercity coach services.
Passengers arriving at TLL can use public transport to continue to Tartu, and some long-distance coaches also stop at Tallinn Airport. A private transfer offers an alternative for passengers who prefer to travel directly to a specific hotel, residence or business address without changing transportation.
This option can be particularly convenient for families, business travellers or groups arriving with substantial luggage.
Private Transfers from Tallinn Airport to Pärnu
Pärnu, on Estonia's western coast, is one of the country's best-known resort destinations. It attracts visitors for its beaches, spas and leisure hotels, particularly during the summer season.
Travellers arriving by air in Tallinn can continue to Pärnu by coach or private road transfer. A chauffeur-driven transfer provides direct transportation from the airport to the passenger's accommodation and avoids the need to travel to another terminal before continuing the journey.
Long-Distance Transfers from Tallinn
Long-distance private transfers provide an alternative to scheduled buses and trains for travellers who value direct door-to-door transportation. They can be arranged from Tallinn Airport to destinations throughout Estonia according to the required itinerary.
Private long-distance travel is particularly suitable for groups, families, passengers with extensive luggage and travellers whose final destination is outside the main public transport network.
Chauffeur service can also be useful for multi-stop itineraries. Instead of planning individual tickets and local connections, passengers can arrange transportation around their own schedule and travel directly between specified locations.
Business Travel from Tallinn Airport
Tallinn is an important technology and business centre with offices, conference venues and hotels located across several districts. The Ülemiste business area is particularly close to the airport, while many meetings and events take place in central Tallinn.
A pre-booked chauffeur can provide direct transportation from the airport to a meeting or hotel and can also remain available for a wider business itinerary when several appointments are planned during the day.
This type of service is useful for international visitors who prefer a consistent transport arrangement rather than organising individual journeys through local taxi or ride-hailing services.
Useful Information for Arriving Passengers
Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport uses the IATA code TLL. It is approximately four kilometres from central Tallinn, making journeys to the city relatively short compared with many other European capitals.
Passengers using public transport can take city buses from stops close to the terminal. Official taxis operate immediately outside the passenger terminal, while ride-hailing, car-sharing and rental car services provide further alternatives.
When booking a private airport transfer, passengers should provide their correct flight details, complete destination address, number of travellers and realistic luggage requirements. Choosing a vehicle with sufficient space for both passengers and baggage helps ensure a comfortable journey.
With private airport transfers, chauffeur service and long-distance transportation available from Tallinn Airport, visitors can arrange their journey before arriving in Estonia and travel directly to Tallinn or another destination across the country.
