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.

About Bari
Bari is the capital of the Bari Metropolitan City and Apulia region on the Adriatic Sea in Southern Italy. After Naples, it is the second most important economic center on the continental part of Southern Italy. It is a port and university town, as well as the city of St. Nicholas. The city itself has 315,284 inhabitants in an area of 116 square kilometers, while the urban area has 750,000 inhabitants. The metropolitan area has 1.3 million residents.
Bari is made up of four distinct districts. To the north is the densely populated old town on the peninsula, between two modern ports, with the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, the Cathedral of St. Sabino (1035-1171) and the Hohenstaufen Castle built for Frederick II. It is now also a major nightlife area. To the south is the Murat district (built by Joachim Murat), the modern heart of the city, laid out on a rectangular plan with the seaside promenade and the main shopping areas (Via Sparano and Via Argiro).
Modern residential areas around Bari city centre were built in the 1960s and 1970s to replace the older suburbs that developed along streets extending out from the city wall gates. In addition, the surrounding area developed rapidly in the 1990s. The city has a redeveloped airport, Karol Wojtyla Airport, which is connected to several European cities.
How to get from Bari to Karol Wojtyła Airport
Train or Subway
You can quickly reach Bari Airport from Bari city centre by public transport. To get to the airport, from Bari Centrale railway station you can take the train called Ferrovia Regionale (FR2, grey) or the subway called Ferrovia Metropolitana (FM2, yellow). Travel time to Bari Airport is 16-20 minutes. Trains to the airport run two to four times an hour. Single one-way ticket costs EUR 5.10. Tickets can be bought at ticket machines at Bari Centrale train station. The trains are unavailable in the night.
Bus
Bus No. 16 operated by AMTAB is the cheapest way to get from Bari to Bari Airport. Buses run at least every hour between Piazza Aldo Moro, near Bari Centrale Train Station, and the airport. The journey time is approximately 50 minutes as the bus has to make several stops. A one-way ticket costs EUR 1.00. You can buy tickets from the bus driver.
Another option is the Tempesta Autoservizi shuttle bus service, which runs on average once an hour, to and from Piazza Aldo Moro. The shuttle bus only stops at two stops, and the route is more direct than No. 16, thus the journey takes only 30 minutes. The one-way ticket costs EUR 4.00. Tickets can be purchased online and from the bus driver, children under 2 years ride for free.
Taxi
Uber is unavailable in Bari. It is also impossible in Italy to hail a taxi on the street. Therefore, to take a taxi to the airport, you will need either to walk to the nearest public taxi rank or to order taxi by phone calling one of the local taxi companies. The typical journey time from the city center of Bari to Karol Wojtyła Airport is 20-25 minutes and the ride will cost about EUR 25. Take in consideration that Italian taxi drivers - and especially in Southern Italy - normally speak only Italian, and - moreover - even phone operators will not always be able to speak English.
Private transfer
The most hassle-free option to get from Bari to Karol Wojtyła Airport is private door-to-door transfer which will cost you more or less the same or slightly more than regular public taxi, but will deliver much more comfort. All you need is to pre-book your transfer online in advance, and your skilled English-speaking driver will meet you straight at the doors of your accomodation to help you with your luggage and to bring you quickly to the airport or to any other destination in Bari, Apulia region or in Southern Italy.
