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 Lagos
Lagos is Nigeria's largest metropolitan area and its leading commercial centre. Spread across the mainland, islands and a long Atlantic coastline, the city includes major business districts, residential neighbourhoods, ports, entertainment areas and rapidly developing communities. Distances can be substantial, and road traffic is an important consideration when planning transportation.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service in Lagos for business travellers, families, individual visitors and groups. Transportation can be arranged between the airport, hotels, private addresses, offices, conference venues and destinations outside Lagos. Booking in advance gives travellers the convenience of having the required vehicle and pickup details organised before the journey begins.
Lagos Airport Transfers
Lagos Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) is the principal airport serving Lagos and the busiest aviation gateway in Nigeria. The airport complex in Ikeja handles both international and domestic flights through several passenger terminals.
A private transfer from Lagos Airport provides direct transportation to hotels and addresses throughout the metropolitan area. Popular destinations include Ikeja, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lekki, Lagos Island and other commercial and residential districts.
Pre-booked airport transportation is particularly convenient in a city where the time required to reach a destination can vary considerably with traffic. Passengers can arrange an appropriate car, van or larger vehicle according to the size of their group and luggage requirements. English-speaking drivers make communication straightforward for international travellers arriving in Nigeria.
Getting from Lagos Airport to the City
Murtala Muhammed International Airport is located in Ikeja on the Lagos mainland. The distance to many central business and coastal districts is considerably greater than the distance to nearby mainland neighbourhoods, so journey times depend heavily on the final destination and traffic conditions.
Travellers can use taxis, ride-hailing services and other forms of road transportation from the airport. A pre-booked private transfer offers the advantage of having the journey arranged before arrival, with direct transportation to the exact hotel, residence or business address.
This can be especially useful after a long international flight, when travelling with several pieces of luggage or when the destination is in Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lekki or another district some distance from the airport.
Getting Around Lagos
Lagos has a diverse transportation network that includes buses, taxis, ride-hailing services, urban rail and passenger ferry services. The city covers a very large area, however, and travellers often need to move between districts separated by considerable road distances.
Ikeja is an important commercial and administrative area on the mainland and is also the location of the airport. Victoria Island and Ikoyi are major business and hospitality districts, while Lekki extends farther east along the coast and includes residential developments, hotels, restaurants and commercial areas.
For visitors unfamiliar with Lagos, a private vehicle can simplify journeys between these districts. It is particularly useful when several appointments are planned, when travelling with luggage or when transportation is required at a specific time.
Chauffeur Service in Lagos
Hourly chauffeur service is well suited to Lagos because many travellers need transportation for several separate journeys during the same day. Instead of arranging a new vehicle for every trip, a chauffeur and vehicle can remain available according to the booked schedule.
This option is particularly useful for business travellers moving between offices, hotels, meetings, exhibitions and restaurants. A chauffeur service can also be used for shopping, events, sightseeing or personal appointments across different parts of the metropolitan area.
For delegations and groups, vans and minibuses can provide coordinated transportation while keeping passengers together. The appropriate vehicle can be selected according to passenger numbers, luggage and itinerary requirements.
Business Transportation in Lagos
Lagos is the centre of much of Nigeria's corporate, financial and commercial activity. Major business areas include Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lagos Island, Ikeja and the Lekki corridor, and visitors may need to travel between several of these locations during a short stay.
A pre-booked chauffeur can make a demanding schedule easier to manage. Airport pickup, hotel transportation, meetings and evening appointments can be combined into an organised itinerary without arranging individual rides throughout the day.
For international executives and visiting teams, an English-speaking driver and a vehicle reserved in advance can provide a more consistent transportation experience between appointments.
Transfers to Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Lekki
Victoria Island is one of Lagos's principal commercial and hospitality districts, with major offices, hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues. Nearby Ikoyi is another important business and residential area, while Lekki stretches eastward along the peninsula and contains a growing concentration of residential and commercial developments.
Private airport transfers can be arranged directly from Murtala Muhammed International Airport to hotels and addresses in all of these areas. Because road conditions and traffic levels can significantly influence journey times, travellers should allow sufficient time for airport departures and fixed appointments.
A chauffeur service can also be practical for travellers who need to move repeatedly between Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Lekki during the same day.
Private Transfers from Lagos to Ibadan and Abeokuta
Lagos is an important starting point for road travel across southwestern Nigeria. Private transfers can be arranged to regional destinations such as Ibadan and Abeokuta, providing direct transportation from Lagos Airport, a hotel or another pickup address.
Ibadan is one of Nigeria's largest cities and a major commercial and educational centre northeast of Lagos. Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, is another important destination within convenient road reach of the Lagos metropolitan area.
A private transfer can be preferable when passengers want to travel directly to a specific hotel, business, residence or other address without using a combination of local transportation and scheduled intercity services.
Long-Distance Transfers from Lagos
WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance transfers from Lagos to destinations elsewhere in Nigeria according to operational availability. A private vehicle offers door-to-door travel and can be useful for families, groups, business travellers and passengers carrying substantial luggage.
Rather than travelling first to a bus terminal and arranging onward transportation at the destination, passengers can be collected directly from Lagos Airport, a hotel or private address and taken to their final location in the same vehicle.
For longer journeys, advance booking also allows the route, vehicle type and pickup schedule to be confirmed before departure.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Regular taxis and ride-hailing services are widely used in Lagos and are suitable for many short urban journeys. A pre-booked private transfer provides greater certainty when the journey is important, longer than a typical city ride or requires a specific type of vehicle.
Airport passengers benefit from arranging the pickup and destination before arrival. Groups can reserve a van or minibus rather than relying on several separate cars, while business travellers can book transportation around an established schedule.
For journeys beyond Lagos, pre-booking also means that a long-distance route is agreed in advance rather than arranged after entering a local taxi. This is particularly useful when travelling to another city or to a destination outside the main urban transport network.
Traffic and Travel Planning in Lagos
Traffic is one of the most important factors when travelling around Lagos. Journey times can vary substantially depending on the day, time and route, particularly when travelling between the mainland and major island districts.
Travellers heading to the airport should therefore avoid planning around the shortest possible driving time. Allowing a generous margin is important for departing flights, business meetings and other fixed appointments.
When booking a private transfer, provide the exact pickup address, destination, passenger number and luggage requirements. Accurate information helps ensure that an appropriate vehicle is arranged and allows the journey to be planned more effectively.
Useful Travel Information for Lagos
Lagos is not a compact destination that can generally be explored entirely on foot. Visitors are likely to use vehicles for journeys between major districts, particularly when travelling between Ikeja, Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Lekki.
The airport complex includes international and domestic facilities, so passengers should provide accurate flight information when arranging airport transportation. Travellers connecting between terminals or between domestic and international flights should also allow adequate time for the transfer.
For several appointments in one day, hourly chauffeur service may be more convenient than booking a succession of individual rides. For a single airport, hotel or intercity journey, a pre-booked point-to-point transfer provides a simple door-to-door solution.

Whether you need a transfer from Murtala Muhammed International Airport, a vehicle for several hours around Lagos or direct transportation to another destination in Nigeria, your journey can be arranged in advance with a suitable vehicle and professional driver.
