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.

Highly recommended taxi service
Airport Transfers and Chauffeur Service in Riva del Garda
Riva del Garda occupies a spectacular position at the northern end of Lake Garda in Trentino, surrounded by mountains and the waters of Italy's largest lake. The town is a popular destination for sailing, windsurfing, cycling, hiking and lakeside holidays, while nearby Arco and Torbole form part of the wider Garda Trentino tourism area.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service in Riva del Garda for individual travellers, couples, families and groups. Transportation can be arranged between airports, hotels, holiday accommodation and destinations throughout Lake Garda and northern Italy. Booking in advance is particularly convenient because Riva del Garda does not have its own commercial airport or railway station.
Airport Transfers to Riva del Garda
Verona Villafranca Airport (VRN) is the principal airport for many travellers heading to Lake Garda. Its location south of the lake makes it a practical gateway for private transfers to Riva del Garda and other resorts around the shoreline.
Milan Bergamo Airport (BGY), also known as Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport, is another important option. Its extensive network of European flights makes it particularly relevant for visitors using low-cost airlines and continuing by road to Lake Garda.
A private airport transfer provides direct transportation from the terminal to a hotel, apartment or other address in Riva del Garda. This avoids coordinating airport buses, railway connections and onward local transport while carrying luggage.
Verona Airport to Riva del Garda Transfers
Verona Airport is one of the most convenient major airports for reaching the Lake Garda region. Travellers using public transport typically need to combine airport transportation with train or bus services before continuing towards the northern lake.
A pre-booked private transfer provides a simpler door-to-door alternative. Passengers are collected at the airport and travel directly to their accommodation in Riva del Garda without changing transport along the way.
This option can be particularly convenient for families, groups, passengers with sports equipment and travellers arriving in the evening. An appropriate car, van or larger vehicle can be arranged according to passenger and luggage requirements.
Bergamo Airport to Riva del Garda Transfers
Milan Bergamo Airport is another widely used gateway for international visitors travelling to Lake Garda. A private transfer from BGY allows passengers to continue directly towards Riva del Garda rather than travelling into Bergamo or another city to organise onward connections.
The longer road journey makes advance booking especially useful. Passengers can travel in the same vehicle from the airport to their hotel or holiday accommodation, with pickup arranged according to their flight details.
Getting to Riva del Garda Without a Car
Riva del Garda has no railway station. Travellers arriving by train generally continue by bus or road transfer from stations such as Rovereto or from other points around Lake Garda. Regional buses also connect Riva del Garda with neighbouring communities.
These services can work well for independent travellers with flexible schedules. A private transfer is more convenient when carrying substantial luggage, travelling with children, arriving late or staying at accommodation that is not close to a public transport stop.
Private transfers can also connect Riva del Garda directly with railway stations, allowing travellers to combine high-speed rail journeys in Italy with comfortable door-to-door transportation for the final part of the trip.
Chauffeur Service in Riva del Garda
Hourly chauffeur service is suitable for travellers who want a vehicle for several journeys rather than a single transfer. The driver and vehicle can remain available according to the booked schedule for sightseeing, restaurants, business appointments or visits to several towns around the lake.
This can be particularly useful around northern Lake Garda, where attractive destinations are spread along the shoreline and in the surrounding mountains. Instead of arranging separate taxis for every journey, travellers can use the same pre-booked vehicle throughout the required period.
Families and groups can reserve vans or larger vehicles, while business travellers can arrange chauffeur transportation according to meetings and event schedules.
Private Transfers Around Northern Lake Garda
Riva del Garda forms a closely connected tourism area with nearby Torbole and Arco. Private transfers can easily connect hotels, holiday accommodation, restaurants and activity centres throughout these destinations.
Torbole lies directly on the lake and is particularly popular with windsurfers and sailing enthusiasts. Arco is situated slightly inland and is known for climbing, cycling and its historic centre. Private transportation provides convenient access between all three towns, especially for travellers carrying sports equipment or luggage.
Transfers can also be arranged to other Lake Garda destinations, allowing travellers to move between accommodation on different parts of the lake without relying on several separate bus or ferry connections.
Lake Garda Transfers and Day Travel
Lake Garda is surrounded by numerous resort towns and historic communities. From Riva del Garda, travellers may continue south towards destinations such as Limone sul Garda, Malcesine, Garda, Bardolino, Lazise, Peschiera del Garda and other locations around the lake.
Ferries are an attractive way to travel between many lakeside towns and can be part of the sightseeing experience. Private road transportation offers greater flexibility when travelling with luggage, following a fixed timetable or visiting places that are not conveniently connected by a direct ferry service.
For an itinerary involving several stops, hourly chauffeur service can provide an efficient way to explore the region without repeatedly arranging local transportation.
Long-Distance Transfers from Riva del Garda
WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance transfers from Riva del Garda to destinations across northern Italy according to operational availability. Direct transportation may be suitable for journeys to Verona, Trento, Brescia, Bergamo and other regional destinations.
Long-distance private transfers provide door-to-door travel from a Riva del Garda hotel or private address directly to the final destination. They can be particularly useful for families and groups who prefer not to manage luggage through several railway or bus connections.
Private transportation is also convenient when continuing from Lake Garda to another resort, city or airport as part of a wider Italian itinerary.
Transfers to Rovereto and Trento
Rovereto is an important transport connection for the northern Lake Garda area and provides railway access towards Verona, Trento and other destinations on the main north-south rail corridor. A private transfer between Riva del Garda and Rovereto can provide a straightforward connection for passengers continuing their journey by train.
Trento, the capital of Trentino, is another important regional destination north of Riva del Garda. Private transfers can be useful for business trips, railway connections, hotel changes and travellers combining Lake Garda with other destinations in Trentino.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Local taxis are useful for short journeys around Riva del Garda and neighbouring towns. A pre-booked private transfer serves a different purpose when the route begins at a distant airport, requires a larger vehicle or involves a long-distance journey.
Airport passengers can arrange their pickup and destination before travelling to Italy. Families and groups can reserve a vehicle appropriate for both passengers and luggage, while travellers carrying bicycles, sports equipment or numerous bags can provide these details in advance.
For longer journeys, pre-booking also means that the entire route is arranged beforehand rather than requesting an intercity trip from a local taxi after pickup. International visitors can additionally choose transportation with an English-speaking driver.
Outdoor and Leisure Transportation
Riva del Garda attracts travellers for much more than traditional sightseeing. Sailing, windsurfing, mountain biking, road cycling, climbing and hiking are central to tourism around Garda Trentino.
Private transportation can be useful when equipment, luggage or activity schedules make regular public transport inconvenient. Transfers can connect accommodation with activity locations, neighbouring towns or onward destinations after an outdoor holiday.
When travelling with bicycles or other large equipment, passengers should provide details during booking so that an appropriate vehicle can be arranged.
Useful Travel Information for Riva del Garda
Riva del Garda is located at the northern end of Lake Garda in the province of Trento. Travellers should remember that distances around the lake can take longer to cover than they appear on a map because roads follow the shoreline and surrounding mountain terrain.
The town itself is compact, and much of the historic centre and waterfront can be explored comfortably on foot. Buses and ferries are useful for regional journeys, while private transportation provides flexibility for airports, railway connections, luggage-heavy travel and destinations away from direct public transport routes.
When booking an airport or long-distance transfer, provide accurate flight or train information, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and the exact accommodation address so that a suitable vehicle can be arranged.
Book a Private Transfer in Riva del Garda
WelcomeTaxi offers pre-booked transportation for airport arrivals, railway connections, hotel transfers, chauffeur hire and long-distance journeys from Riva del Garda. Whether you need a transfer from Verona or Bergamo Airport, a private vehicle around Lake Garda or direct transportation to another destination in northern Italy, your journey can be arranged in advance with a suitable vehicle and professional driver.
