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 Skopje
Skopje is the capital and largest city of North Macedonia and the country's main political, business and transport centre. Set along the Vardar River, the city combines modern commercial districts with Ottoman-era streets, monuments, museums, restaurants and easy access to mountain and regional destinations.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service in Skopje for individual travellers, families, business visitors and groups. Transportation can be arranged between the airport, hotels, private addresses, railway and bus stations, offices and destinations elsewhere in North Macedonia. Booking in advance is particularly useful when arriving on a flight, travelling with substantial luggage or continuing directly to another city.
Skopje Airport Transfers
Skopje International Airport (SKP) is the principal airport serving the capital and the main aviation gateway to North Macedonia. It handles domestic travel needs together with a broad network of international services.
A private transfer from Skopje Airport provides direct transportation to hotels and addresses throughout the city, including central Skopje, the Old Bazaar, Karpoš and other urban districts. Instead of arranging ground transportation after landing, passengers can have the vehicle and destination organised in advance.
Pre-booked airport transfers are especially convenient for families, business travellers and groups carrying several pieces of luggage. Cars, vans and larger vehicles can be arranged according to passenger numbers and baggage requirements.
Getting from Skopje Airport to the City
Skopje International Airport is connected with the capital by road and a regular shuttle bus service. The airport states that passenger buses stop at key locations throughout Skopje, with timetables coordinated around flight arrivals and departures.
A private airport transfer provides direct door-to-door transportation from the terminal to the exact hotel, apartment or office. This can be particularly convenient after a late arrival, when travelling with children or when accommodation is away from the main shuttle stops.
Airport taxis are also available at the terminal, while pre-booking provides greater certainty over the required vehicle type, luggage capacity and final destination.
Getting Around Skopje
Skopje has buses, taxis and other road transport services connecting the centre with residential and commercial districts. Many of the main central attractions are relatively close to one another, particularly around Macedonia Square, the Stone Bridge and the Old Bazaar.
Private transportation becomes more useful when travelling with luggage, attending several appointments or visiting locations spread across the wider metropolitan area. A pre-booked vehicle can also simplify journeys between hotels, offices, restaurants and transport terminals.
For travellers following a busy schedule, hourly chauffeur service can provide greater flexibility than arranging a separate taxi after every stop.
Chauffeur Service in Skopje
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 meetings, restaurants, sightseeing, shopping and other appointments.
Business visitors can use chauffeur service for transportation between Skopje Airport, hotels, offices and conference venues. Leisure travellers may also prefer a private vehicle when combining several attractions or destinations during the same day.
For families, delegations and groups, vans and larger vehicles can provide coordinated transportation while keeping passengers together throughout the itinerary.
Business Transportation in Skopje
Skopje is North Macedonia's main administrative and commercial centre and an important destination for business, government and international organisations. Offices, hotels, institutions and event venues are distributed across several parts of the city.
A pre-booked chauffeur can help coordinate airport pickup, hotel transportation and multiple business appointments within the same schedule. Instead of arranging individual rides throughout the day, the vehicle can remain available for the booked period.
Group transportation can also be arranged for conferences, corporate events and visiting delegations.
Transfers to Matka Canyon
Matka Canyon lies southwest of Skopje and is one of the most popular nature destinations near the capital. The area is known for its dramatic cliffs, lake, hiking routes, monasteries and boat trips.
A private transfer provides direct transportation from a Skopje hotel or private address to the Matka area. This can be particularly convenient for travellers who want to visit according to their own timetable rather than depend on limited public transport options.
Hourly chauffeur service can also be useful when combining Matka Canyon with other attractions around Skopje during the same day.
Private Transfers from Skopje to Tetovo
Tetovo lies west of Skopje and is one of North Macedonia's major regional cities. It is known for cultural landmarks such as the Painted Mosque and also serves as a gateway towards the Šar Mountains.
A private transfer provides direct transportation from Skopje Airport or the city to hotels, private addresses and other destinations in Tetovo. Door-to-door travel can be especially convenient for families, groups and passengers carrying luggage.
Transfers from Skopje to Ohrid
Ohrid is one of North Macedonia's most important tourism destinations and is famous for its historic old town, churches and Lake Ohrid. Although the city has its own airport, many travellers also reach Ohrid overland from Skopje.
A private transfer from Skopje provides direct transportation to hotels and accommodation in Ohrid without requiring passengers to coordinate multiple public transport services. This can be particularly useful for travellers continuing directly from an international flight at SKP.
For itineraries involving several stops across western North Macedonia, a private chauffeur or multi-stop journey may provide additional flexibility.
Regional and Long-Distance Transfers from Skopje
Skopje's location makes it the main starting point for road journeys throughout North Macedonia and towards neighbouring Balkan countries. WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance transfers according to route and operational availability.
Passengers can be collected from Skopje International Airport, a hotel, transport terminal or private address and taken directly to the final destination in the same vehicle. This can be particularly convenient for families, groups and business travellers who prefer not to combine several transport services.
For itineraries involving multiple destinations, hourly, multi-stop or multi-day chauffeur arrangements may offer greater flexibility than a standard one-way transfer.
Railway and Bus Station Transfers
Skopje's main railway and intercity bus terminals are important transport hubs for journeys within North Macedonia and across the Balkans. Passengers arriving by train or coach may require onward transportation to hotels, private addresses or the airport.
Private transfers can connect the transport terminals directly with Skopje Airport and destinations across the city. This is particularly useful for passengers with luggage or travellers making a time-sensitive connection between different forms of transport.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Taxis are widely available in Skopje and are practical for many short urban journeys. A pre-booked private transfer is more suitable when transportation needs to be confirmed before arrival, when a particular vehicle size is required or when the journey continues outside the capital.
Airport passengers can arrange their pickup and destination before travelling, while families and groups can reserve sufficient passenger and luggage capacity. For regional journeys, the complete route can be organised in advance rather than arranged after arrival.
International visitors may also prefer transportation with an English-speaking driver, particularly for airport pickups, business schedules and longer journeys across North Macedonia.
Useful Travel Information for Skopje
Skopje International Airport uses the IATA code SKP and operates 24 hours a day. The airport provides regular shuttle buses to key stops in the capital as well as authorised airport taxi services for journeys to Skopje and destinations elsewhere in the country.
Skopje is the main transport hub for North Macedonia and a practical starting point for journeys to Matka Canyon, Tetovo, Ohrid and other regional destinations. Travellers should allow sufficient time for road traffic when heading to the airport or making fixed connections.
When booking private transportation, provide accurate flight or train information, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and the complete destination address so that an appropriate vehicle can be arranged.

WelcomeTaxi offers pre-booked transportation for Skopje Airport arrivals, city transfers, business travel, chauffeur hire and long-distance journeys across North Macedonia.
