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.
What Our Customers Say

Highly recommended taxi service
Airport Transfers and Chauffeur Service in Budva
Budva is one of Montenegro's best-known coastal destinations, combining beaches, resorts, nightlife and a historic walled Old Town on the Adriatic. The wider Budva Riviera includes Bečići, Rafailovići, Pržno, Miločer and Sveti Stefan, making the area one of the country's most important tourism centres.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service in Budva for individual travellers, couples, families and groups. Transportation can be arranged between airports, hotels, resorts, private apartments and destinations elsewhere in Montenegro. Booking in advance is particularly convenient when arriving during the busy summer season or travelling with substantial luggage.
Budva Airport Transfers
Budva does not have its own commercial airport. The two main airports used by travellers visiting the city are Tivat Airport (TIV) and Podgorica Airport (TGD). Both provide practical road access to Budva, although they approach the coast from different directions.
Tivat Airport is the closest major airport and is especially convenient for travellers staying in Budva, Kotor and other destinations around the Bay of Kotor and central Montenegrin coast. Podgorica Airport is farther inland but provides another important option depending on the available flight schedule.
A private airport transfer provides direct transportation from either airport to a hotel, resort or private address in Budva without the need to arrange additional transport after arrival.
Tivat Airport to Budva Transfers
Tivat Airport is the nearest airport to Budva and is located northwest of the city. The road journey follows the Montenegrin coast and is commonly used by international visitors travelling to Budva and nearby resorts.
A private transfer from Tivat Airport provides direct door-to-door transportation to accommodation in Budva, Bečići, Rafailovići and other destinations along the Riviera. This can be especially useful during the summer season, when luggage, heat and heavy traffic make shared transport less convenient.
Pre-booking allows the required vehicle to be arranged according to passenger and baggage needs before the flight arrives.
Podgorica Airport to Budva Transfers
Podgorica Airport is Montenegro's main inland airport and lies northeast of Budva. It serves a broad range of international routes and can be a practical alternative when flights to Tivat are unavailable or less convenient.
A private transfer from Podgorica Airport provides direct road transportation across central Montenegro to Budva and the coast. The journey is longer than from Tivat, so arranging the vehicle in advance can provide greater certainty over pickup, luggage capacity and the final destination.
Transfers can also be arranged in the opposite direction for travellers continuing from Budva to Podgorica or departing on a flight from TGD.
Transfers to Bečići and Rafailovići
Bečići and Rafailovići lie immediately east of Budva and form part of the wider resort area. They are home to beaches, large hotels, apartments and waterfront restaurants and are commonly included in airport transfer itineraries.
Private transfers can connect both Tivat and Podgorica airports directly with accommodation in these resorts. Door-to-door travel is particularly convenient when the hotel or apartment is located away from the main road or when passengers are carrying substantial luggage.
Transfers to Sveti Stefan and the Budva Riviera
Sveti Stefan is one of Montenegro's most recognisable coastal landmarks and lies southeast of Budva. Nearby Pržno and Miločer are also popular resort areas with hotels, villas and beaches.
A private transfer can continue directly from the airport to these destinations without requiring passengers to stop in central Budva first. This is particularly useful for travellers staying farther along the coast.
For itineraries involving several resort locations, hourly chauffeur service may provide more flexibility than booking separate point-to-point journeys.
Getting Around Budva
Central Budva and the Old Town are relatively compact and can be explored comfortably on foot. Local buses and taxis connect Budva with neighbouring resorts and other coastal destinations.
Private transportation becomes more useful when travelling with luggage, visiting several places during the same day or continuing beyond the immediate Budva Riviera. A pre-booked vehicle can also simplify journeys to airports, marinas and regional destinations.
During the summer season, traffic along the coastal roads can become heavy, so additional travel time should be allowed for airport departures and important appointments.
Chauffeur Service in Budva
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 for restaurants, sightseeing, beach clubs, meetings or other appointments.
This can be particularly useful for travellers who want to combine Budva with Kotor, Tivat or other coastal destinations without arranging a separate taxi after every stop.
For families and groups, vans and larger vehicles can provide coordinated transportation while keeping everyone together throughout the itinerary.
Private Transfers Between Budva and Kotor
Kotor is one of the most popular destinations near Budva and is located northwest of the city on the Bay of Kotor. The two destinations are frequently combined within the same Montenegro itinerary.
A private transfer provides direct transportation between hotels, apartments and other addresses in Budva and Kotor. This is particularly convenient for travellers changing accommodation or carrying luggage.
Hourly chauffeur service can also be useful for visitors planning sightseeing stops around Kotor Bay before returning to Budva.
Private Transfers Between Budva and Tivat
Tivat is another important destination on the Montenegrin coast and is home to the international airport as well as the Porto Montenegro marina complex.
Private transfers can connect Budva directly with Tivat hotels, marina facilities and other addresses. The route is also commonly used for airport transfers between Budva and TIV.
Regional and Long-Distance Transfers from Budva
Budva is well positioned for road journeys across Montenegro. WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance transfers to Podgorica, Kotor, Tivat and other regional destinations according to operational availability.
Passengers can be collected directly from a hotel, resort or private address and taken to the final destination in the same vehicle. This can be especially convenient for families, groups and travellers carrying substantial luggage.
For more complex itineraries involving several stops, hourly or multi-stop chauffeur service may provide greater flexibility than a standard one-way transfer.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Local taxis are widely available in Budva and are practical for many short journeys. A pre-booked private transfer is more suitable when the journey begins at an airport, requires a larger vehicle or needs to be confirmed before travel.
Airport passengers can arrange the pickup, destination and vehicle in advance, while groups can reserve sufficient passenger and luggage capacity. For regional journeys, the complete route can be organised beforehand rather than arranged after entering a local taxi.
International visitors may also prefer transportation with an English-speaking driver, particularly for airport arrivals and longer journeys across Montenegro.
Useful Travel Information for Budva
Travellers should check carefully whether their flight arrives at Tivat Airport or Podgorica Airport. TIV is the closest major airport to Budva, while TGD is farther inland and involves a longer road journey.
The Budva Riviera includes several separate resort areas, so the exact hotel, resort or apartment address is important when arranging transportation. Bečići, Rafailovići, Pržno and Sveti Stefan are all outside central Budva despite being closely connected with the city.
Traffic along the Montenegrin coast can be heavy in summer, particularly on roads between Budva, Tivat and Kotor. Travellers heading to the airport should therefore allow a generous margin during peak periods.
When booking private transportation, provide accurate flight information, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and the complete destination address so that an appropriate vehicle can be arranged.
Book a Private Transfer in Budva
WelcomeTaxi offers pre-booked transportation for Tivat and Podgorica Airport arrivals, hotel and resort transfers, chauffeur hire and long-distance journeys from Budva. Whether you need a direct airport transfer, a vehicle for several hours along the Montenegrin coast or transportation to Kotor, Tivat, Podgorica or another destination, your journey can be arranged in advance with a suitable vehicle and professional driver.
