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 Shannon
Shannon is an important transport and business hub in County Clare on Ireland's west coast. The town developed around Shannon Airport and is well positioned for journeys to Limerick, Ennis, Galway and many of the best-known destinations of western Ireland. For international travellers, it is also a convenient gateway to the Wild Atlantic Way, the Cliffs of Moher and the wider counties of Clare, Limerick, Kerry and Galway.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service in Shannon for individual travellers, families, business visitors and groups. Transportation can be arranged between the airport, hotels, private addresses, business locations and destinations throughout western and southern Ireland. Booking in advance is particularly useful when continuing directly from the airport to another city or a rural destination.
Shannon Airport Transfers
Shannon Airport (SNN) is the main airport serving Shannon and one of the principal international gateways to western Ireland. Its location makes it especially convenient for travellers whose final destination is in County Clare, Limerick, Galway, Kerry or elsewhere along the west coast.
A private transfer from Shannon Airport provides direct transportation from the terminal to a hotel, residence, business address or regional destination. Instead of travelling first to a city-centre transport hub, passengers can continue directly towards Ennis, Limerick, Galway, Killarney or another stop on their itinerary.
Pre-booked airport transfers are particularly useful for families, groups and passengers carrying substantial luggage. English-speaking drivers make communication straightforward for international visitors, while cars, vans and larger vehicles can be arranged according to passenger and luggage requirements.
Getting from Shannon Airport to Limerick
Limerick is one of the most important destinations served by Shannon Airport and lies east of the airport along the Shannon Estuary region. As a major city, university centre and business destination, it attracts both leisure and corporate travellers arriving through SNN.
A private transfer provides direct transportation from Shannon Airport to hotels, residences, offices and other addresses in Limerick. This can be especially convenient for passengers arriving late, travelling with luggage or attending meetings according to a fixed schedule.
Passengers staying in Shannon itself can also arrange local transfers between the airport, hotels and business facilities before continuing elsewhere in the region.
Transfers from Shannon to Ennis
Ennis is the county town of Clare and another important destination close to Shannon Airport. It serves as a useful base for exploring County Clare and destinations farther west towards the Atlantic coast.
Private transfers can connect Shannon Airport directly with hotels and addresses in Ennis, avoiding the need to coordinate public transport after an international arrival. Ennis can also serve as a starting point for onward journeys to the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and other parts of County Clare.
Private Transfers from Shannon to Galway
Galway is one of western Ireland's most popular cities and can be reached by road from Shannon Airport in approximately 45 minutes under favourable conditions, according to Shannon Airport's own regional travel guidance. A private transfer is a convenient option for travellers who want to continue directly to Galway without first travelling into Limerick or another transport hub.
Transfers can be arranged from SNN to hotels, private accommodation and other addresses in Galway. This is particularly useful for families, groups and travellers planning an itinerary that begins immediately in Galway or continues farther into Connemara.
Chauffeur Service in Shannon
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, making it easier to combine meetings, sightseeing, restaurants and multiple stops.
Business travellers can use a chauffeur for transportation between Shannon Airport, Shannon's commercial areas, Limerick, Ennis and other regional destinations. Leisure travellers may choose a chauffeur when exploring several attractions in County Clare or travelling between hotels and sightseeing locations.
For families, delegations and groups, vans and larger vehicles allow passengers to travel together rather than arranging several separate cars.
Transfers to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren
Shannon Airport is a useful arrival point for travellers heading to some of County Clare's best-known landscapes. The Cliffs of Moher and the Burren are located west and northwest of Shannon and are commonly included in itineraries through western Ireland.
Private transportation can connect the airport or a Shannon hotel directly with accommodation and attractions in these areas. This is especially practical where the final destination is a rural hotel, guesthouse or village that is less convenient to reach by scheduled public transport.
For itineraries involving several stops during the same day, an hourly or day-based chauffeur arrangement can provide greater flexibility than separate point-to-point transfers.
Long-Distance Transfers from Shannon
Shannon's location makes it a practical starting point for longer road journeys across Ireland. Shannon Airport's own travel guidance highlights Galway at around 45 minutes, Cork at approximately 1.5 hours and Killarney at around two hours by road, illustrating the airport's usefulness as a gateway to a wide part of the country.
WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance transfers from Shannon to cities, resorts and countryside destinations according to operational availability. Passengers can be collected directly from the airport, a hotel or private address and taken to the final destination in the same vehicle.
This can be particularly convenient for families, small groups and passengers carrying luggage who prefer door-to-door travel over changing between buses, trains and local taxis.
Shannon and the Wild Atlantic Way
Shannon is well placed for travellers beginning or ending a journey along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. From County Clare, road itineraries can continue north towards Galway and Connemara or south towards Kerry and other scenic parts of the western coastline.
A private transfer can connect Shannon Airport with the first or final hotel of a touring itinerary, while chauffeur service may suit travellers who prefer a dedicated vehicle for sightseeing or multiple stops.
Private transportation is particularly valuable in rural areas where attractions, hotels and villages may not be linked by frequent direct public transport services.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Regular taxis can be convenient for shorter journeys around Shannon and nearby towns. A pre-booked private transfer is more suitable when the journey extends farther across the region, when a specific vehicle size is required or when transportation needs to be confirmed before the flight arrives.
Pre-booking allows passengers to arrange the pickup point, destination and vehicle in advance. Groups can reserve a van or larger vehicle, while travellers heading directly to Galway, Killarney or another long-distance destination can organise the complete route before arriving in Ireland.
For more complex itineraries, a chauffeur can also remain available for multiple journeys rather than requiring the passenger to arrange separate local taxis throughout the day.
Business Transportation in Shannon
Shannon is an important business and industrial location, with commercial activity concentrated around Shannon Free Zone and the airport area. Corporate travellers may need transportation between the airport, hotels, business facilities and nearby cities such as Limerick and Ennis.
A chauffeur service can simplify a schedule involving several appointments, allowing the same vehicle to remain available for the booked period. Airport pickup, meetings, hotel transportation and evening journeys can all be coordinated in advance.
For visiting teams and delegations, vans and minibuses provide practical group transportation between the airport and business destinations across the region.
Useful Travel Information for Shannon
Shannon itself is relatively small, but the airport serves a much wider region. Many passengers arriving at SNN therefore continue directly to another town, city or rural destination rather than staying in Shannon.
Public transport connects the airport with several regional destinations, but a private transfer provides direct door-to-door transportation and can be especially useful for rural accommodation, groups and luggage-heavy journeys.
When booking airport or long-distance transportation, provide accurate flight information, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and the exact final destination so that a suitable vehicle can be arranged.
