Yandex? Careem?) isn\u2019t ideal when you\u2019re tired either.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, short-term accommodation giant Airbnb is taking away some of that hassle by launching private airport taxi services in 125 cities across Europe, Asia and Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>Travellers can now make advance ride bookings through the Airbnb app right after making their accommodation reservations. <\/p>\n<p>Guests can be picked up by drivers inside airport arrivals terminals with a name board. If you\u2019ve got some time to explore a new city before checking into your accommodation, short sightseeing stops can also be included. <\/p>\n<p>Similarly, return trips to the airport or train station can be booked straight from the accommodation as well. <\/p>\n<p>The service, launched in partnership with Welcome Pickups, intends to make transportation in a new city a little less daunting for travellers, especially in cities where other taxi services like Uber or Lyft may be patchy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cArriving in a new destination should feel exciting, not stressful,\u201d Alex Trimis, CEO of Welcome Pickups, said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor years, Welcome Pickups has helped travelers plan that moment in advance, with reliable transfers and a personal welcome waiting when they arrive. We\u2019re thrilled to partner with Airbnb to bring that experience directly into the travel journey and help even more guests start their trip with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">165,000 digital nomads have left the UK: Which countries are they moving to?<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">100 years of Route 66: Take the ultimate driving trip on America\u2019s \u2018Mother Road\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The service has initially been introduced to key cities like Bali, Paris and Mexico City, following a pilot programme across Europe and Asia, which received a high 4.96 average rating. However, more cities could be added down the line, depending on the reception. <\/p>\n<p>Currently, Airbnb\u2019s private car transfers are only available between stays and points of arrival or departure, instead of throughout the city or full-day hires. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAirbnb Services are designed to enhance a guest\u2019s stay, and our partnership with Welcome Pickups delivers that from the moment they arrive,\u201d said Dave Stephenson, Chief Business Officer at Airbnb. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow guests can book a private car service in advance, taking the hassle out of organizing transportation in a new city. We\u2019re excited to expand Airbnb Services with more helpful offerings, and this is just the start.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Airbnb\u2019s expansion, from accommodation to photography and massages<\/h2>\n<p>Airbnb has been expanding beyond just accommodation in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Last May, it launched Airbnb Services, with an introductory 10 categories in 260 cities. Travellers can now book chefs, massages, personalised photo sessions, spa treatments and personal training through the Airbnb app. <\/p>\n<p>Other services include hair, makeup and nail care, prepared meals and catering. Several of these offerings are priced below $50 (\u20ac42.7).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeventeen years ago, we changed the way people travel. More than two billion guests later, Airbnb is synonymous with a place to stay,\u201d Brian Chesky, Airbnb co-founder and CEO, said at the time..<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the launch of services and experiences, we\u2019re changing travel again. Now you can Airbnb more than an Airbnb.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cPeople choose hotels for their services. People choose Airbnbs for the space. Now, we\u2019re giving you the best of both worlds \u2013amazing homes with services that make them even more special.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                          Go to accessibility

Yandex? Careem?) isn\u2019t ideal when you\u2019re tired either.Thankfully, short-term accommodation giant Airbnb is taking away some of that hassle by launching private airport taxi services in 125 cities across Europe, Asia and Latin America.Travellers can now make advance ride bookings through the Airbnb app right after making their accommodation reservations.\u00a0Guests can be picked up by drivers inside airport arrivals terminals with a name board. If you\u2019ve got some time to explore a new city before checking into your accommodation, short sightseeing stops can also be included.\u00a0Similarly, return trips to the airport or train station can be booked straight from the accommodation as well.\u00a0The service, launched in partnership with Welcome Pickups, intends to make transportation in a new city a little less daunting for travellers, especially in cities where other taxi services like Uber or Lyft may be patchy.\u00a0\u201cArriving in a new destination should feel exciting, not stressful,\u201d Alex Trimis, CEO of Welcome Pickups, said.\u201cFor years, Welcome Pickups has helped travelers plan that moment in advance, with reliable transfers and a personal welcome waiting when they arrive. We\u2019re thrilled to partner with Airbnb to bring that experience directly into the travel journey and help even more guests start their trip with confidence.\u201dThe service has initially been introduced to key cities like Bali, Paris and Mexico City, following a pilot programme across Europe and Asia, which received a high 4.96 average rating. However, more cities could be added down the line, depending on the reception.\u00a0Currently, Airbnb\u2019s private car transfers are only available between stays and points of arrival or departure, instead of throughout the city or full-day hires.\u00a0\u201cAirbnb Services are designed to enhance a guest\u2019s stay, and our partnership with Welcome Pickups delivers that from the moment they arrive,\u201d said Dave Stephenson, Chief Business Officer at Airbnb.\u00a0\u201cNow guests can book a private car service in advance, taking the hassle out of organizing transportation in a new city. We\u2019re excited to expand Airbnb Services with more helpful offerings, and this is just the start.\u201dAirbnb\u2019s expansion, from accommodation to photography and massagesAirbnb has been expanding beyond just accommodation in recent years.Last May, it launched Airbnb Services, with an introductory 10 categories in 260 cities. Travellers can now book chefs, massages, personalised photo sessions, spa treatments and personal training through the Airbnb app.\u00a0Other services include hair, makeup and nail care, prepared meals and catering. Several of these offerings are priced below $50 (\u20ac42.7).\u201cSeventeen years ago, we changed the way people travel. More than two billion guests later, Airbnb is synonymous with a place to stay,\u201d Brian Chesky, Airbnb co-founder and CEO, said at the time..\u201cWith the launch of services and experiences, we\u2019re changing travel again. Now you can Airbnb more than an Airbnb.\u201dHe added, \u201cPeople choose hotels for their services. People choose Airbnbs for the space. Now, we\u2019re giving you the best of both worlds \u2013amazing homes with services that make them even more special.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2026\/04\/10\/airbnb-launches-airport-transfer-services-across-europe-asia-and-latin-america&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/71\/74\/19\/1200x675_cmsv2_2e797f02-f504-56b4-8746-1ec3ff6c5dd3-9717419.jpg&#8221;] World News Lithuania and Azerbaijan expand ties during PM Ruginien\u0117\u2019s visit No Comment Italy: From Go to Monopoly, board games bridge generations No Comment Israel: Hezbollah rocket from Lebanon strikes Safed, injuring several people Culture news Fancy a Picasso for\u00a0\u20ac100?
