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.

Private Transportation Across Senja
Senja is one of Northern Norway’s most distinctive travel destinations, combining dramatic mountains, narrow fjords, fishing villages, beaches and remote Arctic landscapes. Visitors come throughout the year for hiking, fishing, wildlife, northern lights, winter activities and road trips along the island’s spectacular coastline. Because accommodation and attractions are spread across a large area, private transportation can be particularly useful for travelers who prefer direct door-to-door journeys.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service to destinations across Senja. Transportation can be arranged from Bardufoss Airport, Tromsø Airport, Finnsnes and other regional arrival points to hotels, resorts, cabins and private addresses throughout the island.
Bardufoss Airport Transfers to Senja
Bardufoss Airport (BDU) is the nearest airport to the Senja region and one of the most practical gateways for visitors arriving by air. Finnsnes, the main transport hub serving Senja, is approximately 45 minutes from Bardufoss Airport by road. From Finnsnes, roads continue directly onto the island and toward communities along both its eastern and western sides.
A private transfer from Bardufoss Airport to Senja allows passengers to continue directly from the terminal to their final accommodation without arranging separate bus, ferry or taxi connections. This can be especially convenient when staying at a remote resort or fishing village, carrying outdoor equipment, traveling during winter or arriving with substantial luggage.
Transfers can be arranged from BDU to Finnsnes, Hamn, Skaland, Senjahopen, Mefjordvær, Gryllefjord and other locations across Senja. Return transportation from the island to Bardufoss Airport can also be pre-booked according to the passenger’s flight departure time.
Tromsø Airport to Senja Private Transfers
Tromsø Airport (TOS) is another important gateway for international and domestic visitors traveling to Senja. Tromsø has broader air connections than Bardufoss and is therefore a practical arrival point for travelers whose flights do not connect conveniently with BDU.
A private transfer from Tromsø to Senja provides a flexible alternative to combining scheduled buses, boats and local connections. Depending on the destination, season and current ferry schedules, journeys may follow road and ferry connections or an all-road itinerary. Because ferry operations and travel conditions can vary, the appropriate route should be planned for the specific booking date.
Long-distance transportation between Senja and Tromsø is also useful for travelers combining both destinations in one Northern Norway itinerary. Transfers can be arranged between Senja accommodation and hotels, private addresses or Tromsø Airport.
Transfers to Finnsnes and Senja Resorts
Finnsnes is the principal transport hub for Senja and an important gateway for travelers arriving by road or express boat. Private transfers can be arranged from Finnsnes to accommodation throughout the island, avoiding the need to coordinate onward local transportation after arrival.
Senja has many hotels, cabins, fishing lodges and small resorts located far from major public transport hubs. Door-to-door transfers are therefore particularly useful for passengers staying outside the main settlements. Pickup and drop-off can be arranged at hotels, rorbuer, cabins and other accessible accommodation locations.
Hamn, Mefjordvær and Senjahopen Transfers
The western and northwestern parts of Senja contain some of the island’s best-known coastal landscapes and accommodation areas. Hamn is a major resort destination, while Mefjordvær and nearby Senjahopen provide access to dramatic mountain scenery, fishing and outdoor activities.
Private transfers can connect these areas with Bardufoss Airport, Tromsø, Finnsnes and other parts of Senja. For international visitors unfamiliar with local roads and connections, a pre-booked vehicle can simplify arrival at accommodation in these smaller communities.
Skaland, Gryllefjord and Western Senja
Skaland, Gryllefjord and the surrounding western coast are popular bases for exploring Senja’s mountains, fjords and coastal scenery. Gryllefjord is also an important seasonal ferry point for travelers continuing toward Andøya and Vesterålen.
Transfers can be arranged between western Senja and airports, ferry terminals, Finnsnes or other accommodation locations. Travelers planning journeys involving ferries should check current seasonal schedules before confirming their itinerary, as some connections operate only during part of the year.
Chauffeur Service on Senja
Chauffeur service is a useful option for travelers who want a vehicle and driver for several hours rather than a single point-to-point transfer. Senja’s attractions are widely dispersed, and a private vehicle can make it easier to combine several viewpoints, villages and accommodation stops during the same day.
Hourly transportation may be suitable for scenic drives, photography trips, hotel changes or customized itineraries. English-speaking drivers are available on selected vehicles, which can be particularly useful for international travelers visiting remote parts of Northern Norway.
Exploring the National Scenic Route Senja
Senja’s outer coast is crossed by one of Norway’s National Scenic Routes, connecting dramatic fjords, beaches, fishing villages and mountain viewpoints. Places such as Bergsbotn, Tungeneset, Ersfjordstranda, Mefjordvær and Gryllefjord make this part of the island especially attractive for road-based travel.
A chauffeur service can be useful for visitors who would rather enjoy the scenery than drive themselves. Stops and timing can be planned in advance according to the booked service, road conditions and the passenger’s itinerary.
Northern Lights and Winter Transfers
Senja is also a popular winter destination. Visitors travel to the region for northern lights, dog sledding, snowshoeing, fishing and ski touring, while remote resorts provide accommodation away from larger urban areas.
Winter travel in Northern Norway requires appropriate planning. Weather and road conditions can affect journey times, particularly on longer transfers across the island. Pre-booking transportation helps ensure that a suitable vehicle and pickup arrangement are prepared for the journey.
Long-Distance Transfers from Senja
Private long-distance transfers can connect Senja with other destinations in Northern Norway. Tromsø is one of the most useful onward destinations, especially for travelers combining the island with a city stay or international flight. Transfers may also be arranged toward Bardufoss, Harstad and other regional destinations according to route availability.
Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes (EVE) is another possible gateway to the wider Senja region, although Bardufoss and Tromsø are generally more relevant for most Senja journeys. Travelers arriving through Evenes can request a long-distance transfer when suitable vehicle availability exists.
Private Transfer or Public Transportation?
Senja can be reached and explored using buses, express boats and ferries, and these services are useful for many travelers. However, schedules may require connections and do not necessarily provide direct access to remote accommodation.
A private transfer is particularly useful when traveling with luggage, arriving outside convenient public transport times, staying in a small coastal village, traveling as a family or group, or following a fixed itinerary. The vehicle travels directly to the booked destination rather than requiring passengers to coordinate multiple stages independently.
Planning Your Senja Transfer
When booking transportation to Senja, provide the complete accommodation address, arrival details and number of passengers. For airport pickups, accurate flight information helps establish the correct meeting arrangements. Passengers traveling with large suitcases, ski equipment, fishing equipment or other bulky luggage should choose a vehicle with sufficient capacity.
Travel times on Senja depend on the precise destination, road conditions, weather and any ferry connections involved. Allowing sufficient time is particularly important for return airport transfers and journeys connected with scheduled ferries or boats.
Book a Private Transfer to Senja
WelcomeTaxi offers pre-booked transportation for airport arrivals, hotel transfers, chauffeur service and long-distance journeys throughout Senja. Whether traveling from Bardufoss Airport, Tromsø Airport or Finnsnes, passengers can arrange direct transportation to resorts, fishing villages, cabins and other destinations across the island.
Booking in advance is particularly valuable in a remote destination such as Senja, where distances can be significant and transportation availability may be limited outside the main settlements. A confirmed private transfer provides a convenient way to begin or complete an Arctic journey in Northern Norway.
