“Confirming other peoples comments about not offering 100% refund, when I cancelled 5 months in advance. In the future, when travel picks up again, I will not be using Welcome Pickups, and recommend others avoid as well. We should not be doing business with companies that are dishonest and falsely advertise about 100% money back guarantee if you cancel in advance, only to change policies to their benefit as the global situation changes. It affects everyone, and if you book a service, and no services are rendered, and you cancel in advance, there should be a 100% refund. Also, 2 weeks later and still waiting for a refund of 80%.”

“I'd used this company a couple times in Munich. The driver was there and it went off fine. The second trip was a disaster. They couldn't find a driver for the return to the airport. Notified me at the pick up time. Then they would not offer me a refund citing their T&C's. I could have a coupon for lose 20%. I took the 20% loss and will be moving on from them. Really, they cancelled and then wouldn't refund me?”

“Another unhappy customer about this merchant charging 20% for cancellation. Unfortunately, our trip was cancelled due to pandemic. Cancellation policy on Tripadvisor site indicated full refund (this does not mean to me a future credit). Not wanting to be ripped off in Athens again, I had booked transportation with Welcome Pickups. Well, my bad experience dealing with Athens transport bit me again. We gave lots of notice and am sure the company was out very little for our cancellation. I will definitely not use them again and will not trust Tripadvisor either. Buyer beware.”

“Echoing other people's experience with trying to get a refund from this company. Here's what else they do - after keeping 20% of your money during a global pandemic which is bad enough, they sit on it for an additional 14 days. FYI: No matter what they tell you, credit card refunds do not take 14 days. These people are liars and crooks and idiots as they sink whatever reputation they had by taking advantage of people during a pandemic.”

“We scheduled two sightseeing excursions with welcome pickups, Corfu and Heraklion while cruising with Holland America. Our airlines cancelled our flight and Holland cancelled our cruise because of COVID 19. All of the other travel companies that we used Viator, Get Your Guide, etc have waived cancellation fees. This company has not done so and are charging 20% to cancel. My tours cost 380€ and are more than a month away. Being charged 76€ as an administrative because of a world pandemic shows what this company is, a rip off. Offering full refunds to use in the future, which we will never use, would be a total loss. I know I will never use Welcome Pickups in the future. My advise to people who read this is stay away and use a respectable tour company.”

“Purchased welcome pickups prepaid for 6 transfers in Spain four in Mid April 2020 and one in early July. Our scheduled events have been cancelled due to Corona virus. Cancelled our transfers and they are keeping 20%. I do not want there voucher as I did not pay with a voucher. I understand the terms and conditions but we are dealing with a global pandemic, this is not the normal situation of a customer cancelling a transfer. They have incurred no expense. They were a good company to deal with however this taking advantage of customers in the situation we are all in speaks volumes about this organisation. Do not use this company.”

“Booked welcome pickups through Aegean air 3 months again and pre-paid as requested, cancelled virtually immediately due to global travel restrictions, safety of my family and a world pandemic but this company withheld 20% of my money of which I had to beg for a refund, they provided no service, I gave them 3 months notice so they suffered no losses or provided no service so they were not out of pocket. What company does this is the worlds current condition? I implore no Australians travelling to use this company unless they get something in writing prior to paying or only pay a small deposit if you have to use this company.”

“Due to COVID-19, my trip has been cancelled since it is deemed no longer safe to travel. I was traveling with my 65 year old mother who suffers from asthma as well as other health issues. Welcome Pick ups did not care and would not issue me a FULL refund for circumstances out of my control. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Don't expect any compassion from them during world wide pandemic.”

Dear Lauren, We always appreciate customers who take the time to give us their feedback and we are really sorry that you are dissatisfied. We pride ourselves on our service and the high-quality standards we maintain and would like to make things right. However, as well as the serious impact on health, the spread of coronavirus, or covid-19, is affecting travel plans, major events, and the businesses that ensure these things. It is perfectly understandable that the majority of travelers decided to cancel and actually had to cancel their plans. This is a huge inconvenience for all of us. Unfortunately, in this unintentional situation, not every business is able to satisfy refund requests. Nonetheless, it is very important to ensure that every business is being fair in their assessment and the satisfactory solution is always in place. Indeed, Welcome Pickups provides refunds under certain criteria to our customers, but in order for the traveler to avoid any loss, we are offering a discount coupon of the total amount that was paid for any future transfer at any of Welcome Pickups destinations worldwide. It is also worth to mention that the coupon's validity is one year, but the traveler can choose any future date for the pick-up. This is the least that we can do in light of this unfortunate event. We strive for your satisfaction and we want to ensure a gratifying experience for all of our customers. Once again please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience caused and we highly appreciate your understanding. Welcome Pickups team

“Driver was courteous, friendly, and helpful. I have no problems whatsoever with him. However, the service itself is way overpriced. Instead of being conveniently picked up at the curbside and taken to your destination, you first have to walk to the bus stop, get on the bus, and drive to another parking lot some distance away. Mind you this is with a lot of luggage. Save yourself the time and money, just get a fixed price taxi from the line. It will be much more convenient and a fraction of the price. If anything, this service should cost LESS than the taxis given the incovenience in using it.”
