Our driver was on time and very nice. We had a relaxing drive to the hotel and then back to the airport. Highly recommended!

We were in Italy 8 days and used Welcome Pickups three times. We were greeted with friendly drivers who were very conversational and were sort of like a personal tour guide, pointing out interesting places along the way.

Have used Welcome pickups for a couple trips so far but Massimo has been the most accommodating. He didn't complain when we had more bags than I anticipated and suggested ways we could save time at the Roma Termini. We have him again on our way to the airport and am so glad!
Welcome pickups has been so easy to use with a simple app and has provided peace of mind knowing I'll get to my location on time. Quick note for those new to the service, your driver will call when they are close so make sure you put in the correct mobile number. I forgot when I booked it that I entered my Australian mobile number into the booking but was using my Italian sim, so I missed the call. He ended up emailing me as well. I realised afterwards that I have an option of updating my phone number on my profile.

This company is not reliable. They confirmed our driver and then cancelled 1 hour before they were supposed to pick us up. Their only apology was 15 euro off the next booking. They essentially no-showed as it was too late to book an alternative driver. I will never use this service again.

Used welcome pick ups from airport to hotel and return journey a few days later. It all went really smoothly with easy signage, clean & comfortable cars. Both drivers were friendly, polite and informative. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again

I found Welcome Pickups through a travel agent when planning a dream trip with family to Italy, including a day at the 2023 Ryder Cup. Round trip transportation to the golfing event was scheduled and “confirmed” days in advance. On the day of the event, they drove my family members to the golfing event but then canceled the return trip on that very day (only after having seen the traffic headed back into Rome). They left my family stranded 45 minutes outside of Rome which then negatively effected a scheduled and prepaid private tour of the Vatican City (nearly $500). I have no doubt the scheduled and confirmed driver simply did not want to deal with the admittedly very dense traffic that day. They claim their “cancellation policy” allows for such as long as it is not within 2 hours of the pickup time. They refused me a refund for the prepaid fee of $90 (one way) but offered me a “worthless” coupon for future services…. Which I will never use again and caution you against as well. This company has no honor or accountability in my opinion.

Should I put my arrival time in my request or add additional time for customs (US citizen coming from Madrid)and what is a reasonable tip? Thanks

Seemed to us that monitoring the flight arrival time didn't mean anything when the backup at customs in Rome was over an hour. But I've heard we might have had an unusual experience. Welcome Pickups only guarantees that they will wait for an hour so we had to negotiate with the driver over the phone (and then we did over-tip him, probably too much).

Do they do rides to/from the Termini train station? Also, do they do point-to-point pickups? If I am at the Colosseum and want to go to my AirBNB, do they do real time pickups?

The train station is a yes. Transport is by appointment, not real time like a taxi.

Bonjour
Nous venons de réserver pour ce soir un trajet depuis l'aéroport de Rome jusqu'à notre hôtel. Le trajet dure en moyenne 25/30 minutes normalement. Nous arrivons pour 19h. Hors il est indiqué sur la réservation "complementary waiting time 7pm-8:30pm". Nous ne comprenons pas de quoi il s'agit. S'agit il du temps d'attente qu'est susceptible d'avoir le chauffeur en cas de retard de vol ? Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse.

Soyez sûr que le chauffeur vous attendra le temps qu'il faut car il connaîtra déjà votre numéro de vol et saura quand vous atterrirez. Bon voyage et bon séjour à Rome.
I will be arriving at Fiumicino airport and would like to know whether Welcome Pickups drivers take into account the time it takes to get through customs for non-EU citizens. I would like to avoid being charged for a wait time if possible. Thanks!

They will ask you for you time of flight and flight number when you book with them. That’s how they know when you’ll get to the airport. We booked with them and found them to be really great. We were a little late coming out as well, due to baggage claim, but our driver waited patiently for us and greeted us with such a friendly welcome. Will have to say 10/10 service for sure.

Hi! Would like to check whether if I have backpack which I am able to put it inside the car seats. Does it count as additional luggage? There are also three other luggage which will be put inside the car trunk.
