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 Hamilton Airport
John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM) serves Hamilton and the surrounding Southern Ontario region. Located in Mount Hope, south of central Hamilton, the airport provides an alternative arrival point for travellers visiting Hamilton, the Niagara region, the western Greater Toronto Area and other destinations across Ontario.
WelcomeTaxi offers pre-booked private airport transfers from Hamilton International Airport to hotels, residential addresses, offices, universities, event venues and regional destinations. Whether your journey ends in Hamilton itself or continues toward Burlington, Oakville, Niagara Falls, Toronto or farther across Southern Ontario, a private transfer provides direct door-to-door transportation from the airport.
Different vehicle categories can be arranged depending on the passenger count, luggage and type of journey, including private sedans, business-class vehicles, vans and larger vehicles for groups.
Getting from Hamilton Airport to Hamilton
Hamilton International Airport offers several ways to continue your journey after arrival. These include public transit, taxis, ride-sharing, rental cars and pre-arranged shuttle or limousine services. The best option depends on your destination, schedule and whether you prefer economical public transportation or a direct private vehicle.
Private Airport Transfer
A pre-booked private airport transfer is a convenient choice for passengers who want to travel directly from YHM to their hotel, home, business address or another destination without changing vehicles. The journey is organised before arrival, which can be particularly useful for international visitors, families, passengers carrying substantial luggage and groups requiring a larger vehicle.
Private transfers are also well suited to destinations outside Hamilton, where public transportation may involve additional connections or substantially longer journey times.
Public Transit
Hamilton Street Railway operates the A LINE EXPRESS Route 20 between Hamilton International Airport and downtown Hamilton. The route also provides access to the Hamilton GO Centre and Mohawk College, allowing passengers to connect with other local and regional public transportation services.
Public transit can be an economical option for travellers heading toward central Hamilton with light luggage. For passengers travelling to a hotel or private address away from the route, however, a door-to-door transfer may be more convenient.
Taxis and Ride-Sharing
Taxi service is available directly at Hamilton International Airport, with the designated taxi pickup area located across from the Arrivals doors. Uber and Lyft also provide ride-sharing services, with their designated pickup and drop-off area located along the terminal curb.
These services work well for passengers making spontaneous local journeys. A pre-booked private transfer is more suitable when a specific vehicle category is required, the journey is long-distance or transportation needs to be coordinated in advance.
Rental Cars
Car rental is another option for travellers planning to explore Ontario independently. Several rental companies operate on site at Hamilton International Airport.
A rental vehicle can make sense for travellers making numerous trips over several days. For a straightforward airport transfer or a journey into a busy urban area such as Toronto, a chauffeur-driven transfer avoids navigation, parking and vehicle collection procedures.
Shuttle and Limousine Services
Hamilton International Airport also lists shuttle and limousine transportation among its ground transport options. These services are generally arranged directly with the provider rather than operating as a regular scheduled airport shuttle.
Pre-booking is therefore especially important when passengers require transportation beyond the standard local taxi network.
Private Transfers to Hamilton and Burlington
Hamilton is a major city at the western end of Lake Ontario and forms an important part of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Airport transfers can be arranged from YHM to downtown Hamilton, waterfront areas, residential neighbourhoods, hospitals, universities and business locations throughout the city.
Burlington is another common destination from Hamilton Airport. Located between Hamilton and the western Greater Toronto Area, Burlington is easily reached by road and is home to hotels, businesses, residential areas and Lake Ontario waterfront destinations.
Private transportation is particularly practical when passengers have luggage or are arriving outside the most convenient public transport hours.
Transfers from Hamilton Airport to Niagara Falls
Hamilton Airport is also well positioned for road travel toward Niagara Falls and the Niagara Peninsula. Passengers arriving at YHM can continue directly to Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, St. Catharines and other regional destinations without first travelling toward Toronto.
A private long-distance transfer can be especially convenient for international visitors arriving for a Niagara holiday. Passengers travel directly from the airport to their hotel or accommodation, with no need to coordinate several buses or rail connections after the flight.
For couples, families and small groups, travelling together in a private vehicle can also simplify luggage handling and arrival planning.
Transfers from Hamilton Airport to Toronto
Although YHM serves Hamilton, it is also used by passengers travelling to Toronto and communities west of the city. WelcomeTaxi can arrange direct transfers from Hamilton Airport to downtown Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville and other destinations throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
For passengers whose final destination is Toronto, a private transfer avoids the need to travel into Hamilton first and then connect to another regional service. This is especially useful after evening arrivals, with luggage or when several passengers are travelling together.
Travel times can vary substantially because of traffic conditions along the western Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area road network, particularly during weekday commuting periods. Sufficient time should therefore be allowed for airport departures and onward connections.
Chauffeur Service from YHM
WelcomeTaxi also provides chauffeur service for business and leisure journeys originating at Hamilton International Airport. Chauffeur-driven transportation can be arranged for meetings, corporate visits, conferences, events, sightseeing or itineraries involving several stops.
Hourly hire is useful when passengers require a vehicle for a defined period rather than a single point-to-point transfer. Business travellers can travel between YHM, Hamilton offices, Burlington, Oakville and Toronto while keeping transportation arranged under one booking.
English-speaking drivers can be requested for international passengers who prefer straightforward communication during their journey in Canada.
Airport-to-Airport Transfers from Hamilton
Southern Ontario is served by several passenger airports, and some itineraries require a road transfer between them. WelcomeTaxi can arrange direct private transfers between Hamilton International Airport and Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF).
Toronto Pearson is the region's principal international hub and offers a much broader network of global flights. Billy Bishop is located close to downtown Toronto, while Waterloo Airport serves the Kitchener-Waterloo region west of Toronto.
A private airport-to-airport transfer allows passengers and luggage to travel directly between terminals without combining local buses, regional trains and taxis. When connecting between separate flights, always allow additional time for road traffic, check-in, security and any required border procedures.
Long-Distance Transfers Across Southern Ontario
Hamilton Airport can also serve as the starting point for long-distance private transfers throughout Southern Ontario. In addition to Toronto and Niagara Falls, destinations may include Oakville, Mississauga, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, London and other cities throughout the region.
Long-distance chauffeur transfers are particularly useful when the destination has no convenient direct public transport connection from YHM. Instead of making several changes, passengers can travel directly from the airport to their final hotel, residence or business address.
This arrangement can also be cost-effective and practical for families or groups who would otherwise need multiple taxis or several separate public transport tickets.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
A regular taxi is a straightforward option for a short journey within Hamilton. A pre-booked transfer offers additional advantages when the trip is longer, involves several passengers or requires a particular type of vehicle.
With an advance reservation, the destination, passenger count and vehicle category are established before travel. This makes private transfers especially useful for groups, corporate passengers, families with luggage and journeys from Hamilton Airport to Toronto or Niagara Falls.
Pre-booking also gives travellers a clear transportation plan before departure rather than requiring them to arrange a suitable long-distance vehicle immediately after landing.
Useful Information for Hamilton Airport Arrivals
John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport is located at 9300 Airport Road in Mount Hope, Ontario. The airport operates 24 hours a day, making it suitable for flights arriving or departing outside conventional daytime hours.
Road conditions are an important consideration when planning onward transportation. Traffic toward Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga and Toronto can become heavy during peak periods, while winter snow and icy conditions can increase journey times throughout Southern Ontario.
Passengers connecting with another flight should therefore leave an appropriate buffer between their scheduled arrival at YHM and the next departure.
