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 Zakynthos Airport
Zakynthos Airport “Dionysios Solomos” (ZTH) is the island’s only commercial airport and the main aviation gateway to Zakynthos in the Ionian Islands of Greece. Located in the Ampelokipoi area, around six kilometres from Zakynthos Town and very close to the resorts of Kalamaki and Laganas, the airport provides convenient access to hotels, villas and holiday accommodation across the island.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private airport transfers from Zakynthos Airport to hotels, resorts, villas and other accommodation throughout the island. 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 and groups. Chauffeur service can also be arranged for sightseeing, events, restaurant visits and personalised journeys around Zakynthos.
Getting from Zakynthos Airport to Your Resort
Zakynthos is a relatively compact island, but its resorts and accommodation areas are spread along the eastern, southern and northern coasts. Ground transportation options from the airport include public buses, taxis, rental cars and pre-booked private transfers.
The best option depends on the location of the accommodation, arrival time, amount of luggage and whether passengers prefer the lowest cost or direct door-to-door travel.
Public Bus from Zakynthos Airport
A public bus service connects Zakynthos Airport with Zakynthos Town. The bus stop is located outside the terminal in the arrivals area.
This can be a practical and economical option for travellers with light luggage who are staying in or near Zakynthos Town. Passengers continuing to resorts elsewhere on the island may need to change to another local bus or arrange a taxi after reaching town.
A private airport transfer provides direct transportation from ZTH to the hotel, villa or resort without an intermediate connection.
Taxis at Zakynthos Airport
Taxis are available directly outside the airport terminal and provide transportation to destinations throughout the island. They are a convenient option for passengers who prefer to arrange their journey after landing.
During the summer season, however, demand can be high. A pre-booked private transfer provides greater certainty by arranging the vehicle and destination before the flight.
Rental Cars
Rental cars are widely used by visitors who want to explore Zakynthos independently. Having a car can be useful for visiting beaches, villages, viewpoints and attractions in different parts of the island.
For travellers who prefer not to drive immediately after a flight or who plan to spend most of their holiday in one resort, a chauffeur-driven transfer removes the need to complete rental formalities, navigate local roads or arrange parking.
Why Pre-Book a Private Transfer from ZTH?
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 particularly useful in Zakynthos because many hotels, villas and apartments are located in resort areas away from Zakynthos Town. Door-to-door transportation eliminates the need to change between public transport services or carry luggage from a distant bus stop.
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 journey to the accommodation.
Transfers from Zakynthos Airport to Zakynthos Town
Zakynthos Town, also known as Zante Town, is the island’s capital and main commercial centre. It contains hotels, restaurants, shops, the ferry port and connections to destinations across the island.
The airport is only a short road journey away. Public buses provide an economical option, while a private transfer takes passengers directly to their hotel, apartment or other address.
Zakynthos Airport Transfers to Laganas
Laganas is one of the closest major resorts to Zakynthos Airport and one of the island’s best-known holiday destinations. It offers a long beach, hotels, apartments, restaurants and nightlife.
The resort is located only a few kilometres from ZTH, making the airport transfer relatively short. A private transfer provides direct transportation to the passenger’s hotel, villa or apartment without waiting for local public transport.
Transfers from ZTH to Kalamaki
Kalamaki lies immediately south of the airport and is one of the most convenient resort areas for passengers arriving at ZTH. It is known for its beach, hotels and proximity to Laganas Bay.
A private airport transfer provides quick direct transportation to accommodation throughout Kalamaki and is particularly convenient for families and passengers arriving with several suitcases.
Transfers to Tsilivi
Tsilivi is a popular resort north of Zakynthos Town, with hotels, apartments, beaches, restaurants and family-oriented accommodation.
Travellers using public transport may need to connect through Zakynthos Town, while a private transfer provides a direct journey from the airport to the passenger’s accommodation.
Transfers from Zakynthos Airport to Argassi
Argassi is located south-east of Zakynthos Town and is another major accommodation area for visitors arriving at the island. It contains hotels, apartments, restaurants and beach access.
A private airport transfer offers direct transportation from ZTH to the exact hotel or residence without requiring passengers to travel through the central bus network first.
Transfers to Alykes and Alykanas
Alykes and Alykanas are popular resort areas on the north-eastern coast of Zakynthos. They are farther from the airport than Laganas or Kalamaki and are known for beaches, hotels and holiday apartments.
A pre-booked private transfer is particularly convenient for these longer island journeys because passengers can travel directly from the airport to their accommodation without changing buses in Zakynthos Town.
Chauffeur Service in Zakynthos
WelcomeTaxi chauffeur service can be arranged for sightseeing, events, restaurant visits and personalised itineraries throughout the island.
Zakynthos offers beaches, viewpoints, traditional villages and coastal attractions spread across different parts of the island. A private vehicle with an English-speaking driver allows travellers to visit several locations according to their own schedule rather than relying entirely on public bus timetables.
Chauffeur service can also be useful for weddings, private events and journeys between hotels, restaurants and venues.
Exploring Zakynthos by Private Driver
A private driver can provide flexible transportation for visitors who want to explore beyond the main resort areas. Popular destinations include coastal villages, mountain viewpoints, beaches and scenic parts of northern and western Zakynthos.
Some attractions and accommodation areas are not conveniently served by direct public transport, making chauffeur service a practical option for personalised island itineraries.
Transfers to Zakynthos Port
Zakynthos Town is home to the island’s main ferry port, with connections to mainland Greece. Travellers combining a flight with a ferry journey may need transportation between the airport and port.
A private transfer provides direct transportation between ZTH and the ferry terminal and can be particularly useful when passengers are travelling with luggage or have a fixed departure time.
Regional and Longer Transfers around the Island
Zakynthos is compact, so journeys on the island are shorter than typical mainland long-distance transfers. However, travelling between the airport and northern or western parts of the island can still take time because of local roads and summer traffic.
Private transfers provide direct address-to-address transportation and are especially useful for passengers staying in remote villas, countryside accommodation or resorts away from the main public bus routes.
Zakynthos Airport and Alternative Airports
Zakynthos has only one commercial airport. Kefalonia Airport and Araxos Airport on the Greek mainland are geographically nearby, but neither functions as a normal alternative for an airport transfer to Zakynthos.
Kefalonia is located on another island and requires a ferry or another flight to reach Zakynthos. Araxos is on the mainland and reaching Zakynthos requires an onward road journey and ferry crossing.
For travellers whose destination is Zakynthos itself, ZTH is therefore the clear and practical airport choice.
Useful Information for Arriving Passengers
Zakynthos Airport “Dionysios Solomos” uses the IATA code ZTH and is located in the Ampelokipoi area, around six kilometres from Zakynthos Town. Laganas is approximately one kilometre from the airport area, making the southern resorts particularly convenient for arriving passengers.
The official airport information confirms a direct public bus service between the terminal and Zakynthos Town, with the bus stop located outside the arrivals area. Taxis are also available directly in front of the terminal.
When booking a private airport transfer, passengers should provide the correct flight details, complete accommodation name or address, number of travellers and realistic luggage requirements. For villas and smaller properties, precise location information is particularly useful.
With airport transfers and chauffeur service available from Zakynthos Airport, travellers can arrange their journey before arrival and continue directly to Zakynthos Town, Laganas, Kalamaki, Tsilivi, Argassi, Alykes or another destination across the island.
