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 Grand Baie
Grand Baie is one of the best-known resort destinations in northern Mauritius, combining beaches, hotels, restaurants, shopping and a lively waterfront. Its location makes it a convenient base for exploring the north coast while remaining within road reach of Port Louis and destinations across the island.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service in Grand Baie for individual travellers, couples, families and groups. Transportation can be arranged between the airport, hotels, resorts, private villas and destinations throughout Mauritius. Booking in advance is particularly useful when arriving on an international flight or travelling with substantial luggage.
Grand Baie Airport Transfers
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) is the principal international airport serving Mauritius and the main gateway for travellers heading to Grand Baie. The airport is located in the southeast of the island, while Grand Baie lies on the northern coast, making the airport transfer a significant cross-island journey.
A private transfer from Mauritius Airport provides direct transportation from the terminal to hotels, villas and other accommodation in Grand Baie. Instead of coordinating several buses or arranging transportation after arrival, passengers can travel directly to their final address in one vehicle.
Pre-booked airport transfers are especially convenient for families, groups and passengers carrying several pieces of luggage. Cars, vans and larger vehicles can be arranged according to passenger and baggage requirements, while English-speaking drivers make communication straightforward for international visitors.
Getting from Mauritius Airport to Grand Baie
Grand Baie is approximately 65 kilometres from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport by road. Driving time is typically around an hour, although actual journey time depends on traffic and the exact location of the accommodation.
Public bus travel is possible but generally requires connections, making it less convenient after a long international flight or when travelling with luggage. A private transfer provides a direct alternative, with pickup at the airport and drop-off at the exact hotel, resort or villa.
For departing flights, travellers should allow sufficient time for the journey across the island as traffic conditions can vary considerably.
Getting Around Grand Baie
Grand Baie is served by local buses and taxis, and many restaurants, shops and waterfront locations are concentrated within a relatively compact area. Bus routes also connect Grand Baie with Port Louis and neighbouring communities such as Pereybere and Goodlands.
Private transportation becomes more useful when travelling with luggage, visiting several destinations during the same day or heading to attractions elsewhere on the island. A pre-booked vehicle also removes the need to arrange a separate taxi after each stop.
For visitors staying in villas or resorts outside the most central area, door-to-door transportation can be particularly convenient.
Chauffeur Service in Grand Baie
Hourly chauffeur service is suitable for travellers who need a vehicle for multiple journeys during the same period. The driver and vehicle can remain available according to the booked schedule for sightseeing, shopping, restaurants, beaches and other stops.
This can be useful for travellers who want to explore several parts of northern Mauritius without relying on separate taxis throughout the day. A chauffeur can also be arranged for business appointments, events or hotel-to-hotel transportation.
For families and groups, vans and larger vehicles allow passengers to travel together throughout the itinerary.
Private Transfers Around Northern Mauritius
Grand Baie is well positioned for journeys around the northern coast. Private transfers can connect accommodation in Grand Baie with nearby destinations such as Pereybere, Mont Choisy, Trou aux Biches and other resort areas.
Pereybere lies immediately north of Grand Baie and is known for its beach and holiday accommodation. Mont Choisy and Trou aux Biches extend south along the coast and are also popular with international visitors.
A private transfer provides direct transportation between hotels and villas in these areas and can be particularly useful when carrying luggage or changing accommodation during a longer stay.
Transfers Between Grand Baie and Port Louis
Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius, lies south of Grand Baie and is an important destination for business, shopping, sightseeing and onward travel. Public buses connect the northern resorts with the capital, while private transportation provides a direct door-to-door alternative.
A private transfer can be useful for visitors travelling to offices, hotels, the waterfront or other specific addresses in Port Louis. Hourly chauffeur service may be more convenient when several stops are planned before returning to Grand Baie.
Exploring Mauritius from Grand Baie
Although Grand Baie is a major resort destination in its own right, Mauritius is compact enough for visitors to explore different parts of the island by road. Travellers staying in the north may plan journeys to Port Louis, the central plateau, the east coast, the south and other coastal areas.
Private transportation is particularly useful for itineraries involving locations that are not conveniently connected by a single public bus route. Passengers can travel directly from their hotel or villa to the required attraction, restaurant or accommodation.
For full-day itineraries or several sightseeing stops, chauffeur service can provide more flexibility than arranging individual point-to-point journeys.
Long-Distance Transfers from Grand Baie
WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance transfers from Grand Baie to destinations across Mauritius according to operational availability. Because the resort is located in the north of the island, journeys to the airport and southern or southeastern destinations can involve substantial road distances.
A private long-distance transfer offers door-to-door travel from a hotel, resort or villa directly to the final destination. This is particularly convenient for families and groups who prefer to travel together without coordinating several local transport services.
Transfers can also be useful when changing hotels between different parts of Mauritius or continuing directly to the airport after a stay in Grand Baie.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Local taxis are available in Grand Baie and work well for many short journeys. A pre-booked private transfer is more suitable when transportation needs to be confirmed before arrival, when a specific vehicle size is required or when the journey covers a significant part of the island.
Airport passengers can arrange their pickup and destination before flying to Mauritius, while families and groups can reserve a suitable vehicle according to passenger and luggage requirements. For longer 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 transfers and longer island journeys.
Useful Travel Information for Grand Baie
Grand Baie is located on the northern coast of Mauritius, while the country's international airport is in the southeast. Travellers should therefore allow sufficient time for airport transfers rather than treating MRU as a nearby resort airport.
Mauritius has a widespread bus network and taxis are available throughout the island. Public transportation is useful for many local journeys, while private transfers offer greater convenience for airport travel, luggage-heavy journeys and itineraries involving several destinations.
When booking a transfer, provide accurate flight details, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and the exact hotel, resort or villa address so that a suitable vehicle can be arranged.
Book a Private Transfer in Grand Baie
WelcomeTaxi offers pre-booked transportation for Mauritius Airport arrivals, hotel and resort transfers, chauffeur hire and long-distance journeys from Grand Baie. Whether you need a direct transfer from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, a private vehicle for several hours or transportation to another part of Mauritius, your journey can be arranged in advance with a suitable vehicle and professional driver.
