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-Driven Travel in Warsaw
Warsaw is the capital and largest city of Poland, as well as the country’s main centre for government, finance, business, education, and international events. The city combines a reconstructed historic centre with modern commercial districts, riverside neighbourhoods, museums, parks, conference venues, and one of the most important transport networks in Central Europe.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur services throughout Warsaw and the surrounding Mazovia region. Transportation can be arranged between airports, hotels, private residences, offices, railway stations, conference venues, tourist attractions, and destinations elsewhere in Poland.
Passengers may reserve a direct airport pickup, a city transfer, an hourly chauffeur-driven vehicle, or a long-distance journey. Suitable cars and larger vehicles can be arranged for individual travellers, families, corporate clients, organised groups, and passengers carrying additional luggage.
Warsaw Chopin Airport Transfers
Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) is the principal international airport serving the Polish capital. It is located within the Warsaw urban area, south-west of the city centre, and offers convenient road and public transport connections to central districts, railway stations, hotels, offices, and residential neighbourhoods.
A pre-booked private airport transfer provides direct transportation from the terminal to the passenger’s requested destination. Pickup details, passenger numbers, luggage requirements, and vehicle category are arranged before arrival.
This service is particularly convenient for families, groups, late-night arrivals, business travellers following a fixed schedule, and passengers continuing directly to another Polish city. It also removes the need to change between trains, buses, metro services, and local taxis while carrying luggage.
Private Transfers from WAW Airport
With a private airport transfer, the reserved vehicle is used only by the passenger or travelling party. After collection at the agreed meeting point, the journey continues directly to the confirmed hotel, residence, railway station, office, or regional destination.
A sedan may be suitable for individuals and small parties with standard luggage. Families and groups can request a minivan, van, minibus, or coach, depending on local availability. Executive vehicles may also be arranged for corporate passengers, diplomatic visitors, conference delegates, and customers who prefer a higher service category.
English-speaking drivers are available on request. Although English is commonly used in Warsaw’s hospitality and business sectors, passengers who specifically require an English-speaking driver should mention this preference when booking.
Transfers to Warsaw Chopin Airport
Private departure transfers can be arranged from hotels, apartments, residences, offices, railway stations, and other locations throughout Warsaw. Passengers should provide their flight departure time so that pickup can be scheduled with sufficient time for traffic, check-in, security, and baggage procedures.
Travel time varies considerably between central Warsaw, districts on the eastern side of the Vistula River, suburban accommodation, and locations outside the city limits. Additional time should be allowed during weekday commuting periods, public holidays, major events, and adverse winter weather.
Warsaw Modlin Airport Transfers
Warsaw Modlin Airport (WMI) is located outside the capital, near the town of Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki. It serves Warsaw and the wider Mazovia region, particularly passengers using low-cost and selected international flights.
Because Modlin Airport is considerably farther from central Warsaw than Chopin Airport, ground transportation requires more planning. Public options include direct coaches and connections involving local transport and rail services.
A private transfer from WMI offers direct door-to-door transportation to a Warsaw hotel, private residence, business address, railway station, or another city. Passengers avoid changing vehicles or managing luggage between an airport shuttle, train, and urban transport.
Transfers between WAW and WMI Airports
Passengers occasionally need to travel between Warsaw Chopin Airport and Warsaw Modlin Airport. The airports are located on different sides of the metropolitan area, and there is no simple terminal-to-terminal rail connection.
A private airport transfer provides direct transportation between WAW and WMI without requiring passengers to travel through central Warsaw and change services. Sufficient time should be allowed for the road journey, traffic, airport procedures, and any possible flight delay.
Travellers should avoid planning a short connection between separate tickets. WelcomeTaxi provides transportation but cannot guarantee that a passenger will catch an onward flight when the connection time is insufficient.
Transportation in Warsaw
Warsaw has an extensive public transport network that includes metro lines, trams, buses, and urban railway services. These systems connect the city centre with residential districts, business areas, railway stations, airports, and neighbouring municipalities.
Public transport is practical for many local journeys, while taxis and app-based services are widely available. Private transfers and chauffeur services provide a more organised option for airport arrivals, multi-stop itineraries, corporate schedules, families, and groups.
Airport Trains
Rail services connect Warsaw Chopin Airport with important city stations, including routes towards the central area and other parts of the Warsaw transport network.
The train can be convenient for passengers travelling with limited luggage and staying near a suitable railway or metro connection. Travellers whose accommodation is farther from a station may still need to continue by tram, bus, metro, taxi, or on foot.
A private transfer provides a complete door-to-door journey and avoids additional connections after a flight.
Metro, Trams, and Buses
Warsaw’s metro offers efficient travel between central districts and important residential and commercial areas. Trams form an extensive surface network, while buses serve routes throughout the city and beyond the tram and metro lines.
Public transportation is useful for independent sightseeing and everyday urban travel. Passengers should check current ticket zones, validation rules, operating hours, and any temporary service changes.
During peak periods, vehicles can be crowded. Travellers with large suitcases, child equipment, limited mobility, or several planned stops may prefer private transportation.
Regular Taxis and Ride-Booking Services
Licensed taxis and app-based transport services operate throughout Warsaw. They can be practical for short, spontaneous journeys when passengers do not require a particular vehicle or advance arrangements.
Travellers should use reputable operators and confirm how the fare will be calculated. A standard city taxi may not have sufficient capacity for a large group or several substantial suitcases.
A pre-booked transfer is more appropriate for airport arrivals, important appointments, larger vehicles, additional stops, and travel outside Warsaw.
Car Rental
Rental cars are available at Warsaw’s airports and throughout the city. Self-driving may be useful for travellers planning an independent tour of Poland or visiting rural areas.
Within central Warsaw, drivers must consider traffic, paid parking zones, one-way streets, construction work, and limited parking near some hotels and attractions. Winter driving may involve snow, ice, and reduced visibility.
Passengers who prefer not to manage navigation, parking, fuel, and rental procedures can book private transfers or hire a vehicle with a professional driver.
Why Pre-Book a Private Transfer in Warsaw?
Pre-booking allows the complete journey to be organised before travel. The pickup location, date, time, destination, passenger count, luggage, and vehicle requirements can be confirmed as part of one reservation.
This provides greater predictability than searching for a suitable taxi after arrival. The transport provider knows in advance whether the passenger requires a sedan, executive vehicle, van, minibus, child seat, additional luggage capacity, or direct transportation to another city.
A reserved vehicle is particularly useful for families and groups. Instead of separating into several taxis or carrying luggage through multiple public transport connections, passengers can travel together directly to their destination.
Advance booking is also recommended for transfers from Modlin Airport, early departures, corporate events, wedding transportation, and long-distance journeys. These services require more planning than a short urban taxi ride.
Chauffeur Service in Warsaw
WelcomeTaxi offers hourly chauffeur service for passengers who require a vehicle for several hours rather than one direct transfer. The vehicle and driver remain available during the confirmed service period and follow the agreed itinerary.
Hourly hire can be used for business meetings, corporate roadshows, city sightseeing, shopping, private appointments, conferences, weddings, restaurant visits, and schedules involving several stops.
The service may begin at Warsaw Chopin Airport, Warsaw Modlin Airport, a hotel, railway station, residence, or another confirmed location. Passengers should provide the expected duration, approximate itinerary, passenger count, and any planned travel outside Warsaw.
Corporate and Executive Transportation
Warsaw is Poland’s principal centre for government, banking, technology, professional services, international companies, embassies, and major conferences. Executive transportation can be arranged for visiting managers, consultants, diplomats, investors, event speakers, and corporate delegations.
A chauffeur-driven vehicle can operate between airports, central hotels, offices, conference venues, business districts, embassies, restaurants, and industrial locations.
For larger delegations, several coordinated vehicles or a minibus may be requested. Providing flight details and a complete programme helps organise arrivals, waiting periods, meeting transfers, and return journeys.
Private Sightseeing in Warsaw
Warsaw’s main attractions include the UNESCO-listed Old Town, Royal Castle, Castle Square, Łazienki Park, the Palace of Culture and Science, the Warsaw Rising Museum, POLIN Museum, and the Royal Route.
Many central landmarks can be explored on foot or reached by public transport. A chauffeur-driven vehicle is especially useful when combining distant districts, several museums, business appointments, suburban attractions, or locations on both sides of the Vistula River.
Passengers should arrange attraction tickets and guided tours separately unless they are specifically included in another service. WelcomeTaxi provides transportation and waiting according to the confirmed itinerary.
Warsaw Railway Station Transfers
Warsaw is one of Poland’s most important railway hubs. Major stations include Warszawa Centralna, Warszawa Zachodnia, Warszawa Wschodnia, and several other stations serving regional and long-distance routes.
Private transfers can be arranged between railway stations, airports, hotels, residences, and business addresses. The service is useful for passengers carrying luggage, families, elderly travellers, and groups connecting between trains and flights.
Passengers should provide the complete station name, train number, and scheduled arrival or departure time. Warsaw has several stations with similar route information, so specifying only “Warsaw station” is not sufficient.
Regional Transfers from Warsaw
Warsaw is a convenient starting point for journeys throughout the Mazovia region and central Poland. Private transfers can be arranged as one-way services, return excursions with waiting, or stages of a longer itinerary.
The booking request should clearly state whether the driver is expected to remain at the destination. A simple point-to-point transfer does not automatically include sightseeing time or waiting.
Żelazowa Wola
Żelazowa Wola is known as the birthplace of composer Frédéric Chopin and is a popular cultural excursion from Warsaw. The museum and surrounding park attract visitors during the main tourism season and for special musical events.
A private transfer provides direct transportation from a Warsaw hotel or airport. A return journey with waiting time can be arranged according to the planned visit.
Nieborów and Arkadia
The palace at Nieborów and the romantic garden at Arkadia are important cultural destinations west of Warsaw. They can be visited separately or combined in a regional chauffeur itinerary.
Public transportation may require several connections, while a private vehicle allows the journey to follow an individual schedule. Opening times and tickets should be checked separately.
Łódź
Łódź is one of Poland’s largest cities and an important centre for business, film, design, culture, and industrial heritage. Private transfers between Warsaw and Łódź provide direct hotel-to-hotel or office-to-office transportation.
The service is useful for business passengers, families, event visitors, and travellers continuing directly from either Warsaw airport. Exact addresses should be provided because both cities cover extensive urban areas.
Lublin
Lublin is a major city in eastern Poland, known for its historic centre, universities, cultural institutions, and regional business activity.
A private transfer from Warsaw offers direct transportation to hotels, residences, offices, or event venues without requiring passengers to reach an intercity bus or railway station.
Long-Distance Transfers from Warsaw
WelcomeTaxi can arrange direct road transfers from Warsaw to destinations throughout Poland. Door-to-door transportation is particularly useful for families, groups, passengers with substantial luggage, and travellers whose final destination is not close to a railway station.
Warsaw to Kraków
Kraków is one of Poland’s most visited cities and a frequent long-distance destination from Warsaw. Fast rail connections are available, but a private transfer provides direct transportation between specific hotels, residences, airports, and business locations.
The service can be useful for groups, families, and travellers who want to include an intermediate stop. All stops should be stated before confirmation so that the complete journey can be priced correctly.
Warsaw to Gdańsk
Gdańsk is a major Baltic destination known for its historic centre, maritime heritage, port, business activity, and proximity to Sopot and Gdynia.
A private transfer offers direct door-to-door travel and can continue to hotels, cruise terminals, residences, or coastal resorts throughout the Tricity area.
Warsaw to Poznań and Wrocław
Private transfers can be arranged from Warsaw to Poznań, Wrocław, and other cities in western Poland. These services are suitable for business travel, events, family journeys, and multi-city itineraries.
Although rail travel may be faster for some routes, a private vehicle provides greater flexibility in departure time, luggage capacity, intermediate stops, and the final address.
Warsaw to Toruń and the Mazurian Lakes
Toruń is known for its medieval old town, Gothic architecture, and association with Nicolaus Copernicus. Private transportation can also continue north towards Olsztyn, Mikołajki, Giżycko, and accommodation around the Mazurian Lakes.
Many lakeside hotels, marinas, holiday homes, and rural properties are located away from major railway stations. Passengers should provide a precise address and any relevant access instructions.
International Transfers
Cross-border road transfers may be arranged from Warsaw to destinations in neighbouring countries, including Lithuania, Germany, Czechia, Slovakia, and other parts of Central Europe, subject to route and provider availability.
Common requests may include Vilnius, Berlin, Prague, Bratislava, and other regional cities. International journeys require advance confirmation because tolls, driver working hours, vehicle permissions, border requirements, and overnight arrangements may affect availability and price.
Passengers are responsible for holding valid passports, visas, and entry documents for every country on the route.
Useful Travel Information for Warsaw
Polish is the official language. English is widely used in many hotels, tourism businesses, restaurants, and international companies. Passengers who specifically require an English-speaking driver should nevertheless request one in advance.
Poland uses the Polish złoty. Bank cards and contactless payments are widely accepted, although carrying some cash can still be useful for smaller purchases.
Warsaw has warm summers and cold winters. Snow, ice, freezing temperatures, and reduced visibility can affect road travel during the colder months.
Traffic can be heavy during weekday commuting periods, around major railway stations, on airport routes, and near large event venues. Additional time should be allowed before flights, trains, meetings, and scheduled appointments.
Some hotels and apartments in the Old Town or along pedestrian streets cannot be reached directly by vehicle. Providing the full property name and address helps the driver identify the nearest practical pickup or drop-off point.
Booking Transfers and Chauffeur Services in Warsaw
To request transportation, provide the travel date, pickup time, complete pickup and destination addresses, passenger count, and luggage details. Airport bookings should also include the flight number, airport code, and scheduled arrival or departure time.
It is particularly important to specify whether the airport is Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) or Warsaw Modlin Airport (WMI), as they are separate airports located a considerable distance apart.
For railway transfers, provide the complete station name and train details. For hourly chauffeur hire, include the expected duration and approximate itinerary. Long-distance requests should list every planned stop and the final destination.
Passengers requiring child seats, oversized luggage, several pickup points, wheelchair-accessible transportation, or a specific vehicle category should mention these requirements before confirmation. Special equipment and particular vehicles remain subject to local availability.
Whether the booking is a short transfer from WAW Airport, a journey from WMI to central Warsaw, a chauffeur-driven day in the capital, or a long-distance transfer across Poland, advance reservation provides a clear and comfortable transportation plan.
