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 in Durrës
Durrës is one of Albania's largest cities and one of the country's main Adriatic coastal destinations. Known for its long beaches, seafront hotels, historic sites and important port, the city combines holiday tourism with commercial and transport activity. Its location west of Tirana also makes Durrës a convenient base for journeys across central and southern Albania.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service in Durrës for individual travellers, couples, families and groups. Transportation can be arranged between the airport, hotels, resorts, private addresses, the port and destinations outside the city. Booking in advance is particularly useful when arriving on a flight, travelling with substantial luggage or continuing directly to a resort along the coast.
Durrës Airport Transfers
Tirana International Airport (TIA), also known as Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza, is the main airport serving Durrës and the rest of central Albania. Although the airport is associated with the capital, it is connected directly with Durrës by road and regular airport bus services.
A private transfer from Tirana Airport provides direct transportation to hotels, apartments and resorts in Durrës without the need to travel through central Tirana first. Passengers can continue directly from the terminal to the exact accommodation address.
Pre-booked airport transfers are especially convenient for families, groups and travellers carrying several pieces of luggage. Cars, vans and larger vehicles can be arranged according to passenger numbers and baggage requirements.
Getting from Tirana Airport to Durrës
Tirana International Airport is connected with Durrës by the SH2 motorway corridor. The airport's official driving guidance directs travellers from Durrës towards Vorë before continuing to the airport access road.
Regular buses also operate between Durrës and Tirana International Airport throughout the day. Public transport can therefore be a practical option for travellers with light luggage and flexible schedules.
A private airport transfer offers a door-to-door alternative, taking passengers directly from the terminal to their hotel, resort or private address in Durrës. This can be particularly useful for late arrivals, families with children or travellers staying outside the central city area.
Getting Around Durrës
Durrës has local buses, taxis and other road transport services for journeys within the city and surrounding coastal areas. Central Durrës is relatively compact, while accommodation and resorts extend for many kilometres along the beachfront to the south.
Private transportation becomes more useful when travelling with luggage, moving between several hotels or visiting destinations outside the central area. A pre-booked vehicle can also simplify travel between the city, port, beachfront resorts and airport.
For travellers following a busy itinerary, hourly chauffeur service may provide greater flexibility than arranging a separate taxi after every stop.
Chauffeur Service in Durrës
Hourly chauffeur service is suitable for travellers who need a vehicle for several journeys during the same period. The driver and vehicle can remain available according to the booked schedule for restaurants, sightseeing, business appointments, shopping or other stops.
Leisure travellers may use chauffeur service to combine Durrës with coastal resorts or nearby destinations, while business visitors can arrange transportation between hotels, offices and appointments throughout the region.
For families and groups, vans and larger vehicles can provide coordinated transportation while keeping passengers together throughout the itinerary.
Transfers to Golem and the Durrës Coast
Golem lies south of Durrës and is one of Albania's best-known beach resort areas. The coastline between Durrës and Golem contains numerous hotels, apartments, restaurants and holiday developments.
Private airport transfers can continue directly from Tirana International Airport to resorts in Golem without requiring passengers to stop in central Durrës first. This is particularly convenient for travellers arriving with holiday luggage or staying in a large resort complex.
Private transfers can also connect hotels along the coast with central Durrës, the port and other regional destinations.
Durrës Port Transfers
The Port of Durrës is Albania's largest seaport and an important passenger and freight gateway on the Adriatic. Ferry services connect Durrës with destinations in Italy, making the port an important arrival and departure point for international travellers.
Private transfers can connect Tirana International Airport, hotels and resorts directly with Durrës Port. This is particularly convenient for passengers carrying ferry luggage or travelling according to a scheduled embarkation time.
Travellers connecting between a flight and ferry should allow sufficient time for road traffic, check-in and boarding procedures.
Private Transfers Between Durrës and Tirana
Tirana is one of the most common regional destinations from Durrës. The two cities are connected by the SH2 motorway and form one of Albania's busiest road corridors.
A private transfer provides direct transportation between hotels, private addresses, offices and transport hubs in Durrës and Tirana. This can be particularly useful for travellers with luggage or those following a fixed business or sightseeing schedule.
Hourly chauffeur service can also be a practical option when several locations in both cities need to be visited during the same day.
Regional and Long-Distance Transfers from Durrës
Durrës is well positioned for road journeys throughout Albania. WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance transfers to regional destinations according to route and operational availability.
Passengers can be collected from Tirana International Airport, a hotel, resort, port or private address and taken directly to their final destination in the same vehicle. This can be especially convenient for families and groups who prefer not to combine buses and local taxis.
For more complex itineraries involving several stops, hourly or multi-stop chauffeur service may provide greater flexibility than a standard one-way transfer.
Transfers to Vlorë and Southern Albania
Vlorë is one of Albania's principal coastal cities and lies south of Durrës. Travellers may continue there for beach holidays, business or onward journeys towards the Albanian Riviera.
A private transfer provides direct road transportation from Durrës or Tirana Airport to hotels and addresses in Vlorë. Door-to-door service can be particularly useful for travellers carrying luggage or continuing directly from an international flight.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Local taxis are widely available in Durrës and are practical for many short urban journeys. A pre-booked private transfer is more suitable when transportation begins at the airport or port, requires a larger vehicle or needs to be confirmed before travel.
Airport passengers can arrange their pickup and destination before arriving in Albania, while groups can reserve sufficient passenger and luggage capacity. For regional journeys, the complete route can be organised in advance rather than arranged after entering a local taxi.
International visitors may also prefer transportation with an English-speaking driver, particularly for airport arrivals and longer journeys across Albania.
Useful Travel Information for Durrës
Durrës is located on Albania's Adriatic coast west of Tirana. Tirana International Airport is the city's main aviation gateway and is connected directly with Durrës by road and scheduled airport bus services.
The Durrës beachfront and resort area extends well beyond the compact city centre, so travellers should provide the exact hotel or accommodation address when arranging transportation. Golem and other coastal areas should also be treated as distinct destinations rather than simply as central Durrës.
When booking private transportation, provide accurate flight or ferry information, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and the complete destination address so that an appropriate vehicle can be arranged.
Book a Private Transfer in Durrës
WelcomeTaxi offers pre-booked transportation for Tirana Airport arrivals, hotel and resort transfers, port connections, chauffeur hire and long-distance journeys from Durrës.
