Shannon Airport taxi fleet operated by Welcome

A Welcome taxi from Shannon Airport is the best way to start your trip with a personalised private transfer for you and your travel party. The online booking flow will help you choose the right vehicle type based on the number of passengers and luggage. For up to 4 passengers with one carry-on each, you’ll be assigned a modern sedan car, while for up to 8 passengers or multiple pieces of luggage, you’ll be upgraded to a spacious minivan transfer.

Both vehicle types are safe for young travellers too; you can either install your own baby/child seat or use the relevant field during the booking to request that your driver provides one.
