After several months of work in a “cash-only” mode, credit card payment option in WelcomeTaxi is now fully restored. Starting from July 31 all WelcomeTaxi customers can prepay their rides in Moscow and Saint Petersburg by credit card through 2Checkout.com, company’s online payment facilitator. This option is available for all orders made through online booking form on the website not later than 24 hours prior to pickup time: the customer will be redirected for payment to the secure 2Checkout.com website upon submission of booking form.

The possibility to prepay transfers online by credit card is partially restored. For the moment it concerns the customers who book their transfers by Standard or Estate/SUV class vehicle in Moscow at least 24 hours prior to pickup time.

Now you can instantly book a car from your smartphone: just download PickmeApp from Google Play or Apple Store, select WelcomeTaxi and our driver will be a tap away from you!

WelcomeTaxi cancels the surcharge for English-speaking driver which was 500 RUB in Moscow and 300 RUB in Saint Petersburg. From now on this will be a free option in every city where WelcomeTaxi is present. 

WelcomeTaxi has been forced to increase the price of airport transfers from Vnukovo International Airport to Moscow. This is due to the fact that last month, airport administration suddenly more than tripled the price of airport parking, from 150 rubles per hour to 500 rubles per hour.

WelcomeTaxi customers trying to pay by credit card online via our payment facilitator 2CheckOut.com may currently experience problems with their payments.

Starting from the 4th of January WelcomeTaxi changes the structure of its tariffs in Moscow. Instead of one Standard class two new tariffs are being introduced: the Economy class and the Comfort class.

WelcomeTaxi sends its best New Year and Christmas wishes to all customers and reminds: prices on 31st December 2015 from 18:00 hours to 1st January 2016 23:59 hours will be charged at 50% higher than normal prices quoted on our web pages.

We have several times faced the situation recently when Russian Federal Security Service threw additional obstacles on the border in the way of passengers coming from Turkey to Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

We have changed our main post address Borsigstr. 9 to the new one: Friedrichstr. 123, postcode 10117 in central Berlin.
