Shanghai
Private car service in Shanghai with an English-speaking driver
China's busiest city is much easier with a car waiting at the door. From both airports to the Bund, the French Concession, and the water towns beyond, we get you there without a language barrier.
Arriving by air
Two airports, one standard
PVG — Pudong International Airport. The main international gateway, on the east side of the city. In normal traffic the drive to the city centre takes roughly an hour; allow longer at rush hour. Your driver tracks the flight and waits in arrivals with a name sign.
SHA — Hongqiao International Airport. Much closer to downtown and commonly used for domestic connections. Ideal if you have a same-day meeting or are transferring to a high-speed rail service.
All airport pick-ups include luggage help and a reasonable waiting window for delayed flights.
- Meet-and-greet at arrivals Name sign, flight tracking and a driver who speaks English.
- City transfers Hotels, offices, the Bund, the French Concession and Pudong's business district.
- Hourly hire Keep the car and driver for as long as you need them.
- Multi-day itineraries One driver and one point of contact for longer trips.

Frequently asked about Shanghai
Which airport should I use for an international arrival?
Most long-haul flights arrive at Pudong (PVG), while Hongqiao (SHA) handles many domestic and regional routes. Send us your flight number and we will be at the right terminal.
Can the driver help with a SIM card or payment apps?
Yes, if you want. We can suggest where to get a SIM and help you set up local payment apps, though neither is required to use our service.
Can we book the same driver for several days?
Yes. For multi-day itineraries we normally keep the same driver and vehicle throughout, so you always deal with one person.
