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 Tromsø Airport
Tromsø Airport, Langnes (TOS) is the main airport serving Tromsø, one of the most important cities in Northern Norway and a popular gateway to the Arctic. Located close to the city centre, the airport is convenient for travellers arriving for Northern Lights tours, Arctic cruises, winter holidays, business trips, university visits and onward travel across Troms and Finnmark.
Although the distance from Tromsø Airport to the city is relatively short, planning your arrival transport in advance can make a significant difference. Weather conditions, limited taxi availability at peak times, late flights, luggage, ski equipment and cruise schedules can all make a pre-booked private airport transfer a more comfortable and predictable option than arranging transport on arrival.
Getting from Tromsø Airport to Tromsø City Centre
There are several ways to travel from Tromsø Airport to the city centre. The most common options are regular taxis, airport buses, local public transport, rental cars and private transfers. Each option has its own advantages depending on your schedule, budget, luggage and destination.
Private Airport Transfers
A private airport transfer is the most convenient door-to-door option from Tromsø Airport. Your driver meets you at the agreed pickup point and takes you directly to your hotel, apartment, cruise terminal, office, tour meeting point or private address. This is especially useful if you are arriving in winter, travelling with children, carrying large luggage, or arriving late in the evening.
With WelcomeTaxi, you can pre-book airport transfers from Tromsø Airport in advance and avoid uncertainty on arrival. The service is suitable for solo travellers, couples, families, small groups and business passengers. Depending on availability, you can request a sedan, SUV, van or larger vehicle for group transfers.
Regular Taxi from Tromsø Airport
Regular taxis are usually available outside Tromsø Airport, and the short distance to the city centre makes them a practical option for many travellers. However, availability may vary during busy arrival periods, poor weather, weekends, public holidays and cruise-related demand. For travellers who prefer a fixed plan, a pre-booked transfer offers more certainty.
A regular taxi can be convenient for spontaneous short trips, but it may not always be ideal for groups, passengers with special luggage or travellers continuing beyond Tromsø. A private transfer allows you to arrange the vehicle size, pickup time and destination details before you land.
Airport Bus and Public Transport
Airport buses and local buses connect Tromsø Airport with the city. They can be a cost-effective solution for travellers with light luggage and flexible schedules. Public transport is less convenient if your hotel is not close to a stop, if you arrive late, or if you are travelling with ski bags, several suitcases or children.
For visitors unfamiliar with Tromsø, winter conditions and short daylight hours can also make door-to-door transport more comfortable. A chauffeur service removes the need to navigate bus stops, schedules or transfers after a long flight.
Rental Cars
Rental cars are available at Tromsø Airport and can be useful for travellers planning a self-drive trip around Northern Norway. However, driving in the Arctic requires confidence in winter conditions, especially outside the city. Roads may be icy, visibility can change quickly, and rural routes may be long and remote.
If you do not need a car every day, a private transfer or chauffeur service can be a simpler alternative. You avoid parking, winter driving, navigation and fuel planning while still enjoying direct transport to your destination.
Private Transfers from Tromsø Airport to Hotels and Cruise Terminals
Tromsø is a major base for Arctic tourism, and many visitors arrive for Northern Lights tours, whale watching, fjord excursions, dog sledding, ski trips and expedition cruises. A private transfer from Tromsø Airport can take you directly to hotels in the city centre, waterfront accommodation, the harbour area, university district, private cabins or tour meeting points.
For cruise passengers, a pre-booked airport transfer is particularly useful. Cruise schedules can be strict, and passengers often travel with large luggage. A private vehicle gives you a direct connection from the airport to the port area without waiting for a taxi or managing bags on public transport.
Chauffeur Service in Tromsø
WelcomeTaxi also offers chauffeur service in Tromsø for travellers who need more than a simple airport pickup. Chauffeur hire can be suitable for business meetings, private sightseeing, VIP guests, film crews, event transport, wedding guests or flexible Arctic itineraries.
A chauffeur service gives you a vehicle and driver for a planned period of time, allowing you to visit several stops without arranging separate taxis for each leg. This can be useful for routes between hotels, restaurants, conference venues, viewpoints, activity providers and the airport.
Long-Distance Transfers from Tromsø Airport
Tromsø Airport is also a starting point for long-distance transfers across Northern Norway. Travellers may need private transport to destinations such as Lyngen, Sommarøy, Senja, Bardufoss, Narvik, Alta or other regional locations. These journeys can be challenging to arrange on arrival, especially for groups or travellers with luggage.
Long-distance transfers are best booked in advance because vehicle availability, road conditions and travel time can vary. A pre-arranged service allows the route, pickup time, vehicle type and luggage requirements to be confirmed before the trip. This is particularly important in winter, when Arctic weather can affect travel plans.
Why Choose a Pre-Booked Transfer Instead of a Regular Taxi?
For short city trips, a regular taxi may be enough. However, a pre-booked transfer from Tromsø Airport gives you several advantages. You know that transport is arranged before arrival, the vehicle is selected according to your group size, and the destination details are confirmed in advance.
This matters in Tromsø because the airport serves a wide mix of travellers: cruise passengers, winter tourists, families, business guests and visitors heading to remote destinations. During peak travel periods, relying on last-minute taxi availability can be less convenient.
A private transfer is also better suited for passengers who need an English-speaking driver, assistance with luggage, a direct hotel drop-off or a long-distance journey outside the city. Instead of adapting your plans to local transport, the transport is arranged around your itinerary.
Local Travel Specifics in Tromsø
Tromsø is compact, but local travel has its own specifics. Winter weather, snow, ice, tunnels, bridges and hilly streets can affect travel comfort. During the Northern Lights season, many visitors arrive in the evening or travel outside the city for activities. In summer, the Midnight Sun season brings another wave of tourism, including cruise traffic and outdoor travel.
Because of this seasonal demand, advance planning is recommended. A private transfer is not only about comfort; it also helps reduce uncertainty when flights, hotel check-ins, tour departures or cruise embarkation times are involved.
Useful Travel Information
Tromsø Airport is close to the city, so transfer times to central hotels are usually short in normal conditions. However, travellers should allow extra time during winter weather, busy periods or when travelling to locations outside the city centre. For long-distance transfers, journey times can be significantly longer and should be planned carefully.
If you are travelling with children, large suitcases, sports equipment or several passengers, it is important to choose the right vehicle class when booking. For regional trips, provide the full address, accommodation name, ferry details if relevant, and any timing constraints. This helps the driver plan the route and provide a reliable service.
WelcomeTaxi provides international private transfers, airport transfers, chauffeur service and long-distance transfers from Tromsø Airport. Whether you are arriving for a city stay, Arctic adventure, cruise departure or regional journey, a pre-booked transfer offers a clear and comfortable start to your trip in Northern Norway.
