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.

Private Transfers in Bogota, Colombia
Bogota is the capital of Colombia and one of the most important business, cultural and transport hubs in South America. Located high in the Andes, the city combines colonial districts, modern financial areas, government institutions, museums, universities, shopping zones and a growing international hospitality scene. For many visitors, Bogota is not only a destination but also the starting point for a wider journey through Colombia.
Because the city is large, busy and spread across different districts, choosing the right transport option matters. Distances on the map can look short, but travel times may vary significantly depending on traffic, weather, roadworks and the time of day. A pre-booked private transfer helps make the arrival smoother, especially after a long international flight or when traveling with luggage, children, colleagues or a fixed schedule.
Airport Transfers from El Dorado International Airport
El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is the main airport serving Bogota and the most important air gateway in Colombia. It handles both international and domestic flights, connecting the capital with destinations across the Americas, Europe and other Colombian cities. For most travelers visiting Bogota, BOG is the only practical airport for arrival and departure.
WelcomeTaxi provides private airport transfers from El Dorado International Airport to hotels, apartments, offices, embassies and event venues across Bogota. Popular arrival areas include Chapinero, Zona T, Parque 93, Usaquén, La Candelaria, Teusaquillo, Santa Bárbara, Salitre and the financial districts in the north of the city. Transfers can also be arranged from Bogota to nearby towns and regional destinations.
A pre-booked airport transfer is especially useful at BOG because arrivals can be busy, and traffic around Avenida El Dorado and the main access roads may be unpredictable. Instead of searching for a taxi after landing, your driver meets you according to the booking details and takes you directly to your destination in a private vehicle.
Chauffeur Service in Bogota
WelcomeTaxi also offers chauffeur service in Bogota for travelers who need more than a simple point-to-point transfer. A private car with driver can be used for business meetings, embassy visits, conferences, hotel-to-office travel, shopping, restaurant transfers, private sightseeing or a full day of transport around the city.
For business travelers, chauffeur service is a practical way to manage a busy schedule without relying on multiple taxi rides. Bogota’s traffic can be complex, and having a pre-arranged driver helps reduce delays between meetings. For leisure travelers, a chauffeur service offers flexibility when visiting areas such as La Candelaria, Monserrate, Usaquén, Chapinero, Zona G or the city’s museums and cultural attractions.
English-speaking drivers are available for many bookings, making the service more convenient for international visitors who do not speak Spanish. While English availability can depend on the route and vehicle category, WelcomeTaxi aims to provide clear communication before and during the trip whenever possible.
Why Choose a Pre-Booked Transfer Instead of a Regular Taxi?
Regular taxis and app-based rides are widely used in Bogota, but they are not always the most convenient option for international travelers. Prices, availability, vehicle size, driver communication and pickup procedures may vary. At the airport, this can be stressful after a long flight, especially if you are arriving late, carrying several bags or traveling with a group.
With a pre-booked private transfer, the key details are arranged in advance: pickup point, destination, vehicle category, passenger count and luggage requirements. This gives you a clearer travel plan before you arrive. It is also useful for families, corporate travelers and visitors who prefer not to negotiate transport locally or depend on last-minute availability.
Private transfers are also better suited for routes outside the city, where regular taxis may not be willing to travel or may require negotiation. For long-distance transfers from Bogota, a pre-arranged vehicle gives you more comfort, more predictable service and a direct route without unnecessary stops.
Transportation Specifics in Bogota
Bogota is a high-altitude capital with dense traffic and a very large urban area. Travel times can change considerably between early morning, midday, evening rush hour and weekends. Main roads such as Avenida El Dorado, Autopista Norte, Carrera Séptima and the routes toward the north and west of the city may become congested, especially during peak commuting periods.
The city has an extensive public transport network, including TransMilenio buses and local services, but public transport is not always convenient for travelers with luggage or for those going directly from the airport to a hotel. For visitors unfamiliar with the city, a private transfer is usually the simplest option for the first and last part of the trip.
Another important local factor is district selection. Bogota’s neighborhoods differ significantly in character and distance from the airport. A trip to Salitre or Teusaquillo may be relatively short, while a transfer to Usaquén, Zona T or the northern business areas can take longer depending on traffic. Pre-booking helps ensure the vehicle and timing are planned around the actual route.
Long-Distance Transfers from Bogota
Bogota is a natural starting point for regional travel in central Colombia. WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance private transfers from Bogota to selected towns, resorts, business destinations and tourist areas, depending on vehicle availability and route conditions.
Common regional travel directions include routes toward Zipaquirá, Chía, Cajicá, Sopó, La Calera, Villa de Leyva, Fusagasugá, Melgar, Girardot and other destinations in Cundinamarca and neighboring regions. These trips are often more comfortable by private car, especially when traveling with luggage, family members or a schedule that does not fit standard public transport.
Long-distance transfers are also useful for travelers connecting Bogota with private villas, retreats, wedding venues, golf clubs or countryside hotels. Instead of arranging transport locally after arrival, you can plan the route in advance and travel directly from the airport or your hotel.
Private Transfers for Business and Leisure Travelers
Bogota receives a wide range of visitors: corporate travelers, government delegations, conference guests, tourists, students, families and Colombians returning from abroad. WelcomeTaxi’s private transfer service is designed to serve different trip types with a clear booking process and a professional transport experience.
For business travel, private transfers are suitable for airport pickups, office transfers, meetings across the city and full-day chauffeur arrangements. For leisure travel, they work well for hotel arrivals, restaurant transfers, sightseeing days and comfortable journeys to regional destinations. For families and groups, pre-booking also makes it easier to select the right vehicle size for passengers and luggage.
Whether you need a simple airport transfer from BOG, a chauffeur service in Bogota or a long-distance private transfer across Colombia, WelcomeTaxi helps make the journey more predictable, comfortable and easy to manage.
