Welcome Pickups

Welcome Pickups (legal entity Welcome Travel Technologies Holdings LTD) operates a ground transportation service for travellers, offering airport and port transfers, sightseeing rides and in-city rides with personal drivers. The website says drivers go through a one-on-one interview, identity and vehicle checks, and safety protocol training before their first ride.

Customers are individual travellers, hotels, vacation rentals and travel companies. The site describes an automated transfer tool for hotels and vacation rentals, white-label transfer integration for travel companies, a Welcome Rewards programme and a referral scheme; it does not state the pricing or commission model. Drivers, called Welcomers, are connected to riders through a driver app.

The company was founded in 2015 in Athens, Greece, and the website lists 374 destinations worldwide. It reports 1500+ hotels, 800+ vacation rentals and 1000+ professional drivers in its network. Its registered office is in Coventry, UK. At the time of capture it had 14 open roles, most based in Athens, across product, operations, commercial and legal, plus a remote senior platform engineer role.
