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 Victoria
Victoria is the capital of Seychelles and the main urban centre of Mahé, the largest and most populated island in the archipelago. The city combines government institutions, markets, museums, shops and historic landmarks with easy access to beaches, resorts and ferry connections to other islands.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service in Victoria for individual travellers, couples, families and groups. Transportation can be arranged between Seychelles International Airport, hotels, private addresses, ferry terminals and destinations throughout Mahé. Booking in advance is particularly useful when arriving on an international flight, travelling with substantial luggage or continuing directly to a beach resort.
Victoria Airport Transfers
Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) is the principal airport serving Victoria, Mahé and the Seychelles as a whole. It is located southeast of Victoria and handles international flights together with domestic connections to other islands.
A private transfer from Seychelles International Airport provides direct transportation to hotels and addresses in Victoria and across Mahé. Instead of arranging transport after landing, passengers can have their vehicle, luggage capacity and destination organised before arrival.
Pre-booked airport transfers are especially convenient for families, groups and travellers carrying several pieces of luggage. Cars, vans and larger vehicles can be arranged according to passenger numbers and baggage requirements.
Getting from Seychelles International Airport to Victoria
The airport is connected with Victoria and the rest of Mahé by road. Public buses operate outside the terminal, while licensed taxis are also readily available.
A private airport transfer offers a direct door-to-door alternative, taking passengers from the terminal to the exact hotel, apartment or private address. This can be particularly convenient after a long international flight, when travelling with children or when accommodation is outside the city centre.
Travellers continuing to another island can also arrange transportation from the airport to the relevant ferry terminal in Victoria.
Getting Around Victoria
Victoria is compact compared with many national capitals, and several central attractions can be explored on foot. The Clock Tower, Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market, museums, places of worship and the Botanical Gardens are all located within or close to the central area.
Public buses and taxis provide transportation throughout Mahé. Private transportation becomes more useful when travelling with luggage, following a fixed itinerary or visiting several places around the island within the same day.
A pre-booked vehicle can also simplify journeys between Victoria, beaches, resorts, the airport and ferry facilities.
Chauffeur Service in Victoria
Hourly chauffeur service is suitable for travellers who want a vehicle available for several journeys during the same period. The driver and vehicle can remain available according to the booked schedule for sightseeing, restaurants, beaches, meetings and other stops.
Leisure travellers may use chauffeur service to combine Victoria with coastal destinations and viewpoints around Mahé. Business visitors can arrange transportation between the airport, hotels, offices and government or conference locations.
For families and groups, vans and larger vehicles can keep passengers together throughout the itinerary.
Transfers to Beau Vallon
Beau Vallon is one of Mahé's best-known resort areas and lies northwest of Victoria. It is popular for its broad beach, hotels, apartments, restaurants and water activities.
Private transfers can connect Seychelles International Airport or central Victoria directly with hotels and accommodation in Beau Vallon. Door-to-door transportation is especially convenient for travellers arriving with luggage or staying at properties away from the main bus route.
Transfers can also be arranged between Beau Vallon and Victoria for shopping, dining, sightseeing or ferry departures.
Transfers to Eden Island
Eden Island is a modern residential and marina development close to Victoria. It contains apartments, villas, restaurants, shops and marina facilities and is a common destination for international visitors.
A private transfer can connect Seychelles International Airport directly with accommodation or marina facilities on Eden Island. This is particularly convenient for travellers with luggage or those connecting between an international flight and a yacht or other maritime service.
Victoria Ferry Terminal Transfers
Victoria is an important maritime gateway for travellers continuing from Mahé to Praslin, La Digue and other islands. Ferry connections form a key part of many Seychelles itineraries.
Private transfers can connect Seychelles International Airport, hotels and resorts across Mahé directly with the appropriate ferry departure point in Victoria. This can be especially useful for passengers carrying luggage or travelling according to a fixed ferry schedule.
Travellers should provide the ferry company, departure time and exact meeting point when booking so that sufficient time can be allowed for check-in.
Connections to Praslin and La Digue
Praslin is the second-largest island in Seychelles and can be reached from Mahé by domestic flight or ferry. La Digue is commonly reached by ferry, often via Praslin.
For travellers beginning their island-hopping itinerary in Victoria, a pre-booked road transfer can provide the first or final stage between the airport, hotel and ferry terminal. The sea or air connection between islands must be booked separately from the road transfer.
This arrangement is particularly useful for travellers arriving on an international flight and continuing to another island on the same day.
Private Transfers Across Mahé
Mahé contains most of the Seychelles population and a wide range of hotels, guesthouses, resorts and beaches spread around the island. Many destinations lie outside Victoria and require road travel along coastal or mountain routes.
Private transfers can connect Victoria or Seychelles International Airport with accommodation throughout Mahé according to route and operational availability. This can be particularly useful when the final hotel is away from a frequent public bus route.
For itineraries involving several places during the same day, hourly chauffeur service may offer more flexibility than separate point-to-point transfers.
Transfers to Southern Mahé
Southern Mahé includes coastal areas such as Anse Royale, Baie Lazare, Takamaka and other beach communities. These destinations offer a quieter atmosphere than Victoria and the more developed northern resort areas.
A private transfer provides direct transportation from Seychelles International Airport or Victoria to hotels, villas and guesthouses in the south. Door-to-door service can be especially convenient for passengers with luggage or those arriving after a long international journey.
Island Sightseeing from Victoria
Victoria is a practical starting point for sightseeing around Mahé. Travellers can combine the capital with beaches, viewpoints, mountain roads and coastal communities during the same day.
Hourly chauffeur service allows the vehicle to remain available throughout the itinerary, providing more flexibility than arranging a new taxi at every stop. This can be useful for travellers who want to explore both the northern and southern parts of the island.
Business Transportation in Victoria
Victoria is the administrative and commercial capital of Seychelles and home to government offices, financial institutions, conference facilities and professional services.
A pre-booked chauffeur can help coordinate airport pickup, hotel transportation and several 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, delegations and corporate events.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Licensed taxis are readily available at Seychelles International Airport and throughout Mahé and are practical for many short journeys. A pre-booked private transfer is more suitable when transportation needs to be confirmed before arrival, when a specific vehicle size is required or when the journey involves a resort, ferry connection or multiple passengers.
Airport passengers can arrange their pickup and destination before travelling, while families and groups can reserve sufficient passenger and luggage capacity. For longer journeys across Mahé, the complete route can also be organised in advance.
International visitors may prefer transportation with an English-speaking driver, particularly for airport pickups, ferry connections and full-day island journeys.
Useful Travel Information for Victoria
Seychelles International Airport uses the IATA code SEZ and is Mahé's principal aviation gateway. The airport provides public bus access outside the terminal as well as licensed taxi services, while domestic flights connect Mahé with Praslin and other islands.
Victoria is located on the northeastern side of Mahé, with Beau Vallon to the northwest and the airport to the southeast. The official Seychelles tourism map identifies Victoria as the national capital and shows road connections throughout the island.
When booking private transportation, provide accurate flight or ferry information, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and the complete hotel or destination address so that an appropriate vehicle can be arranged.
