Today, Welcome Pickups, the leading ground transportation and in-destination travel provider, has launched operations in Bologna, expanding their offering in Italy.

Travellers visiting the historic city of Bologna, will now be able to use Welcome Pickups for their transport to/from the airport. This is the sixth destination that the company serves in Italy, after Rome, Milan, Naples, Florence and Venice. 

“We already have an established relationship with excellent drivers in Italy. This launch will allow us to offer our 5-star service to visitors of one more Italian destination.” Kyriaki Pappa – Expansion Lead, Welcome Pickups

Welcome Pickups plans to also provide visitors with personalised transportation experiences for longer trips such as from Bologna airport to Florence, as well as sightseeing rides in and around the city of Bologna. 

As with the other five Italian destinations, Welcome Pickups will also engage local accommodation providers, giving them the ability to automate transfer arrangements and collect guest data to personalise guest stays, while simultaneously generating an additional stream of revenue.
