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 Private Chauffeur Services in Tromsø
Tromsø is one of Northern Norway’s most popular destinations and an important gateway to the Arctic. Surrounded by fjords, islands and mountains, the city attracts visitors throughout the year for northern lights tours, winter activities, whale-watching excursions, hiking and the midnight sun.
Although the centre of Tromsø is relatively compact, many hotels, activity providers, cruise facilities and rural accommodation properties are located outside the main pedestrian area. Travellers continuing to nearby islands, fjords or mountain regions may also face long distances and changing weather conditions. A pre-booked private transfer provides direct transportation without the need to coordinate several buses, taxis or ferry connections.
WelcomeTaxi offers private airport transfers, local point-to-point journeys, hourly chauffeur service and long-distance transportation in Tromsø and across Northern Norway. Services can be arranged for individual travellers, families, corporate passengers, tour groups and guests carrying winter sports equipment.
Transfers from Tromsø Airport, Langnes (TOS)
Tromsø Airport, Langnes (TOS) is the main airport serving the city and the surrounding region. It is located on the western side of Tromsøya, the same island as much of the urban area. The airport handles domestic services and international routes, with particularly high demand during the winter tourism season.
A private airport transfer offers direct transportation from the terminal to a hotel, apartment, cruise port or activity centre. Passengers do not need to wait for a scheduled bus, manage luggage during transfers or search for a suitable vehicle after arrival.
Airport transfers can be arranged to central Tromsø, the harbour area, Tromsdalen, the University Hospital of North Norway, Breivika and accommodation throughout the wider municipality. Direct transportation is also available from TOS to more distant locations such as Sommarøy, Lyngseidet, Narvik, Senja and Alta.
Public transportation from Tromsø Airport includes an airport bus and local bus routes 40 and 42. These options may be suitable for passengers travelling light and staying close to a recognised stop. Private transportation is often more convenient for groups, families, late arrivals and travellers staying outside the central bus network.
Private Transfers Within Tromsø
Tromsø is divided between Tromsøya, the mainland and nearby islands. The city centre is located on Tromsøya, while Tromsdalen lies across the Tromsø Bridge and Tromsøysund Tunnel. Other residential areas, hotels and activity meeting points are distributed around the municipality.
Private point-to-point transfers can be booked between hotels, restaurants, cruise terminals, conference venues, private homes and tourist attractions. The service is useful when passengers have a fixed schedule, substantial luggage or a destination that is difficult to reach by public transport.
Transfers may also be arranged to the Fjellheisen cable car, the Arctic Cathedral area, the University of Tromsø, Breivika Cruise Port and other local locations. For journeys involving several stops, hourly chauffeur hire may be more practical than ordering a separate vehicle for every section of the itinerary.
Chauffeur Service in Tromsø
An hourly chauffeur service gives passengers access to a vehicle and driver for an agreed period. This option is suitable for business appointments, sightseeing itineraries, private events, photography trips and journeys involving multiple pickup or drop-off points.
Business travellers can reserve chauffeur-driven transportation between the airport, hotels, offices, conference venues and restaurants. Groups attending meetings or events can arrange coordinated vehicles according to passenger numbers and luggage requirements.
Leisure travellers may use hourly hire to explore Tromsø and its surroundings at a comfortable pace. Possible itineraries include coastal viewpoints, Kvaløya, Ersfjordbotn, Sommarøy and other locations outside the city. Travel plans should remain realistic, particularly in winter, when snow, ice and rapidly changing conditions can affect journey times.
Long-Distance Transfers from Tromsø
Tromsø is a starting point for road journeys across Troms and other parts of Northern Norway. Public transport between smaller settlements may operate only at limited times, and some routes involve buses, ferries and long waits between connections. A private long-distance transfer provides direct travel from the airport or hotel to the final destination.
Tromsø to Sommarøy
Sommarøy is a coastal island community west of Tromsø, known for beaches, fishing villages and Arctic scenery. A private transfer is convenient for guests staying at local accommodation or travelling with photography equipment, outdoor clothing and larger bags.
Tromsø to the Lyngen Alps
The Lyngenfjord region is popular for skiing, hiking, glacier landscapes and winter activities. Accommodation may be located in small communities on either side of the fjord, so the precise pickup and drop-off addresses are important when planning the journey.
Private transfers can be arranged to Lyngseidet and other destinations in the region. Depending on the route, travel may involve a ferry crossing, and additional time should be allowed during winter or periods of heavy demand.
Tromsø to Senja
Senja is one of Norway’s largest islands and is known for dramatic mountains, fjords, beaches and fishing villages. Distances between individual destinations on the island can be considerable. A direct transfer allows passengers to travel from Tromsø Airport or a city hotel to their specific accommodation without changing between regional services.
Tromsø to Narvik and Alta
Long-distance transportation may also be arranged between Tromsø and Narvik, Alta or other northern destinations. These journeys require advance planning because of the distances involved and seasonal road conditions. A suitable vehicle should be selected according to the number of passengers, luggage and any ski or outdoor equipment.
Cruise Port Transfers in Tromsø
Tromsø receives cruise ships at different harbour facilities, including locations close to the centre and the Breivika area. The exact terminal should be confirmed before arranging a transfer because cruise vessels do not always use the same berth.
Private cruise transfers can connect the port with Tromsø Airport, local hotels or destinations outside the city. Transportation may also be arranged for passengers arriving before embarkation or staying in Tromsø after their cruise.
For larger groups, vans, minibuses or coaches can be requested. Advance booking is recommended when several passengers need to travel together, particularly during the winter season or on days when multiple ships are in port.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Taxis are available at Tromsø Airport and in the city centre, but immediate availability may be limited during peak arrival times, severe weather or busy tourism periods. Passengers requiring a larger vehicle may also find that a standard taxi cannot accommodate their group and luggage.
A pre-booked private transfer allows the journey requirements to be confirmed in advance. The reservation can specify the number of passengers, luggage quantity, child seats, ski equipment, additional stops and the required vehicle category.
Pre-booking is particularly valuable for long-distance journeys. The route and destination are agreed beforehand, and passengers do not need to negotiate a complex trip after arrival. Families and groups can travel together rather than splitting between several vehicles.
For corporate and premium travel, a chauffeur-driven service also provides a more organised experience. Pickup details and timing are established in advance, helping passengers maintain a planned itinerary.
Local Transportation and Arctic Travel Conditions
Tromsø has a local bus network connecting the airport, city centre, university area, mainland districts and surrounding communities. Express boats and ferries also provide important links within the region. However, schedules may not suit every flight arrival or rural accommodation location.
Winter travel requires additional preparation. Snowfall, icy roads, strong winds and limited daylight can affect journey times. Passengers should avoid planning very tight connections and should provide complete flight and accommodation details when booking transportation.
Warm clothing should remain accessible rather than packed at the bottom of checked luggage, especially when travelling beyond the city. Passengers carrying skis, snowboards, large camera cases or other specialist equipment should declare these items in advance so that an appropriate vehicle can be assigned.
During summer, the midnight sun attracts visitors for hiking, sightseeing and scenic road journeys. Although road conditions are generally easier than in winter, popular routes and ferry crossings may still become busy. Advance reservations are advisable for longer transfers and group travel.
Vehicles for Individuals, Families and Groups
Different vehicle categories are available depending on passenger numbers and luggage requirements. Sedans are suitable for individuals and small parties, while vans provide additional space for families, groups and travellers with outdoor equipment.
Minibuses and coaches may be arranged for cruise groups, organised tours, conferences and special events. Executive vehicles are available for corporate passengers, private delegations and travellers requiring a higher level of comfort.
The selected vehicle must have sufficient capacity for all passengers and their belongings. Winter clothing and sports equipment can require considerably more space than ordinary luggage, so accurate information is essential when making a reservation.
